"Do you have a minute?" Trellyn asked as she poked her head in the open door of the Hallsecond's office. Kouna looked up from her paperwork. When Mosler said he had needed help, he wasn't kidding, the backlog of work from the move was amazing.
"I _always_ have a minute." Kouna said as she smiled warmly at the Journeywoman. "Have a seat." Her first job once she assumed her duties, was to fix her office. She had added potted plants, shelves, a small table, her old desk she had brought from the North. "And it cost a pretty mark to bring down mind you!" She had told the movers as they fumbled it through her door. She had replaced the uncomfortable straight-backed chairs with more comfortable ones from storage. It all made the office much more homley.
Trellyn looked around the office, "You look like you've made yourself cozy in here... it looks nice." she said approvingly.
"Thanks. I've never been one to thrive in an office, but I can live with this." She reclined in her own chair. "So, what's on your mind?"
"I would like to put in for a transfer, preferably to Topaz to help with the salvage and rebuilding." She didn't want to, she loved it at the Hall, but she needed to get away from Ednan before she made another mistake.
"Alright. Is there any particular reason why." Kouna reached behind her to grab a pen and hide. "You don't seem to enthusiastic about leaving. If there's a problem maybe we can deal with it."
I had sex with an apprentice and now have no objectivity and if anyone found out I could lose my professional respectability. How's _that_ for a problem! "No, no reason really. I just feel the need for a change, and there is alot of work to be done at Topaz."
"There is at that." Kouna replied as she wrote up a note to add to her endless list of to-do's. She'd seen Topaz Seahold on her way south, it wasn't exactly the paradise it had been. "I'll draw up the forms and have Mosler look at them as soon as possible." She tacked the note to the top of her workpile. "Is there anything else I can help with?"
Trellyn knew it might be months before an opening came up to transfer, but she hoped it was sooner rather than later... for her _and_ Ednan's sake. "Nope, that's it. I just wanted to drop my name in."
"Well it's in."
