A note crumpled underfoot, the white paper nearly tearing underneath her sneakers. Echo knelt down, feeling the once crisp parchment between her fingers. "Oh, it's from Flo," she scanned the message and shoved the note into the depths of her pocket, then proceeded to remove her jacket and hang it up on the coat rack. Her bad arm was feeling particularly sore after physical therapy but Echo would not complain since she was not so weak that she needed to voice every thought that jumped to mind similar to the way the previous version, the young, rather naive Echo had acted. "What did the note say?" Gwen inquired, interest having been piqued. Echo conceded by shaking her head, muttering something about meetings and schedules. Gwenyth did not pry, however she did give Echo a somewhat suspicious look that told of two lovers in fair Verona, running away with their hands intertwined and stealing kisses on each other's collarbones.
Echo shook her head. She could not possibly see Flo, her Flo, in that light. Flo was an older sister to her, a best friend, not someone she could ever share kisses with. Such thoughts were so alien that they made Echo feel somewhat queasy. After all, who would ever want to kiss their sister? "Wipe that smarmy look off your face, you'll scare away recruits." Echo shook her head and took a seat, drawing out a novel she had begun. "The sign's flipped, although I doubt we'll get anyone at this hour." Echo yawned, tossing her hair over her shoulder then pushing her feet up onto the desk. Gwenyth chased Echo's legs off, "dirt! You'll track mud all over the important papers!" There was a basket of said papers topped precariously on the edge of the mahogany desk.
Once work had let out for the day Echo went to seek Fluorspar who had requested an audience in private. Gwenyth went off to supper, promising that she would save pudding for Echo who wasn't all that hungry after the grand lunch of biscuits and sandwiches she had feasted on earlier that day. Echo went to swap out her mittens, in case they decided to go for an early evening stroll as her older pair were threadbare and the ones Echo had reserved for emergencies after receiving her new blue,
penguin patterned ones. "There you are you bugger you, making me wait all this time." Echo waved upon contact and strode forth to face her former partner. "Gwenyth has promised to take me to something called the zoo this weekend, if the weather permits. Fancy a stroll?"
