New Meeting in Old Jeans

Khaat's father still had her on leave because she was still too thin to suit him for being in her fourth month of pregnancy. But, she had snuck in for a meeting with Andrian. And, just in case Robert caught her, she had worn her jeans and a pink spring maternity sweater with a pair of sneakers. They had, unfortunately, been missing each other. She knew Andrian had been working all kinds of shifts, and she really wanted to catch up with him and make sure he knew her father and make sure that he knew of some of the changes she had made lately. She could not keep missing him forever. She was trying to decrease her addiction to french roast, so she had brought with her a cup of herbal tea, even though she had a strong, clear preference for really strong black coffee. She was trying to behave.

Andrian walked into Khatt's office, he was glad that she wanted to spend some time with him so that she could catch up with him. He stepped into her office and taking his time to gather everything in the office. Then finally took his gaze off the room and looked at Khaat who was enjoying her cup of herbal tea. "Hello, Khaat," spoked Andrian as he smiled warmly at her, he was surprise that she had dressed up casually to work, he had no idea she was on leave. "You look stunning today," he commented, hoping to continue the converstation.

"Thank you, but its hardly my usual work clothes," she laughed, "Come in and sit wherever you like. Would you like tea? I brought some cinnamon herb tea today. See, its like this. When Jack Uhler was killed, I made my father the Chief of Staff. Well, he tricked me by sliding a bunch of papers he said only needed my signature, and I didn't realize that one of the papers I was signing was making him my physician and allowing him to put me on medical leave for at least 3 weeks. He thinks I am just entirely too thin for being 4 months. At any rate, I did want to see you before September or October. So, I decided to sneak in. But, if my father catches me, at least my jeans will be a handy signal to tell him I am truly not here for the day.

"But, you. Andrian, you have been working all sorts of hours. I do appreciate it, seeing as though I only have, really, you and Ian, aside from my father that I can rely on for right now. I am advertising for several other healers, but you have to stop working so hard. It'll create at least 2 problems for you eventually. First, you're going to burn out. And second, you need time with Belle. That's far too important for you to slight in any way. I want you to start taking better care of yourself. I need you too badly for you to get yourself burned out."

Andrian merely only chuckled when she said it was hardly her usual work clothes. "You should make it your work clothes," he joked a bit. He then casually walked over to a seat she had guestered him to sit down on. "Sounds lovely,". "Thanks," he continued and smiled at her, he loved tea personally he preferred a coffee then tea but any kind of caffiene was good to him as long it woke him up, in the morning and at night. Andrian rose his eyebrows at her as he notice her rambling off about how she was made Cheif of Staff and how Jack made her go on leave. "That's quite a adventurous life you have going there for you," smiled Andrian, nodding politely at her. "I'm boring."

He laughed and then kept quite as she spoke
