Office #11, Sunday

[badnewsandwit]

Two days into the weekend, and no one had showed.

Alistair was now hanging about his office because he was getting the very strong idea that was expected of him, but his heart wasn't really in it. Last thing he knew, Duncan had written to let him know he was on his way, but... he'd probably been waylaid by some crisis or another. Saving a dwarf

Because his door was open, his visitor felt there was no real need to knock. He merely stepped into the doorway, armor clanging as he moved, and spoke, "Alistair?"

[badnewsandwit]

"Duncan!"

What followed was a truly impressive collection of loud noises, crashes and cracks, as Alistair's sudden surprise meant his balance on the chair was compromised and the whole thing went toppling over. His feet shot up as a consequence, knocking over the desk and everything that was on it.

Duncan took a step on closer and peered down at Alistair, not looking all that impressed. "Good morning."

"...Thought you weren't coming," Alistair groaned. "Sorry about the mess..."

"Now, what have we here?" The imposing woman standing in the doorway was... imposing. "A lost Warden?" Flemeth's lips curved up. "You must be my daughter's... foil."

"I'm not sure if I'm anyone's... foil, creepy dragon lady," Alistair said, after a beat. "For one, I don't have a pommel, and two, I'm not long and thin, and three, I'm not made of metal."

Either Alistair didn't read much, or he was messing with her. Or both.

Flemeth barked a laugh. "You look like you are not sure of anything, Warden," she said, striding into the office. "But you are teaching alongside my Morrigan."

"Well, that explains the creepy," Alistair muttered. Louder, he said, "I should have known. You do look alike... you know, generally."
