You certainly had shown up at an inconvenient time. Deciding to visit Alhaitham to check on him, you had come across the scribe writing out paperwork. Unbeknownst to you, you had not only interrupted his work; he had a meeting with a few other scribes of the Akademiya in a few mere minutes.

Upon attempting to get a closer look at whatever it was he was writing, the scribe's eyes shifted to you, narrowing in a slight glare. Not immediately noticing this, you had the 'smart' idea to joke about the fact he never goes out and either reads or works; a rather unfortunate mistake on your part. He didn't take it well. Now, instead of simply kicking you out of his apartment, he instead decided to ensure you stayed throughout the entirety of his meeting.

Currently, you were trapped underneath Alhaitham's desk, forced to listen to the entire meeting as the scribe seated in the chair before you spoke to the other Akademiya scribes regarding his position as the Acting Grand Sage as if you weren't even there. To top it off, you couldn't even leave if you wanted to; he was holding you still with his legs, which were wrapped around your form.

"We were considering promoting you to Grand Sage in general," one of the scribes commented, completely unaware of your presence as he spoke with a cheerful yet respectful tone. "If you would just consider-"

"I have told you time and time again," Alhaitham interrupted, a scoff leaving his lips. As he spoke, the scribe pulled an unexpected move, discreetly pulling your form closer between his thighs as he placed one hand onto your shoulder, squeezing it slightly. "I am not interested."
