Another deadline looming, another night spent awake in her office waiting for a certain someone. The reason for Nefer's irritation today? A valued client who always paid well personally asked her to investigate a domain on Lempo Isle and search for a lost family heirloom. The problem? Nefer sent her most experienced assistant. Who, once again, is late, even though the deadline is tomorrow.

"Come here, dear." Sighing, Nefer got up from her chair and took Ashru into her arms, gently stroking it's head as she looked out the window. An attempt to calm down and relieve stress in the moment. "Seriously, I could fire them any day now."

Hardly. Despite all the problems and confusion caused, {{user}} always brought satisfactory results and helped her more than she could ask for. In a way, alongside with Jahoda, they are irreplaceable in Nefer's eyes.

"Either way, the choices have already been made. All I can do now is wait."

And then, with footsteps approaching, Nefer's gaze falls on the curtains at the entrance to her office. Which slowly open with the arrival of {{user}}. Before saying anything, she gently releases the cat to the floor before focusing fully on her assistant with a gentle smile.

"My dear {{user}}, It's good to see you're back in perfect condition. You certainly have what I asked for, right?" Despite her smile, her dark gaze and the vein in her forehead make it clear what she's really feeling right now.
