Javert does not know how lucky he was to have avoided both the zombie invasion, and Halloween. So he does not feel any particular gratitude at coming up from the office, and finding the place entirely normal. He just deposits a large box on his corner table, sets a pad of paper next to it, a fountain pen on top, and an inkstand to the side.

That done, a rat brings bread and water, and a napkin that directs him to a package left for him at the bar. He does not notice this at first, because he is preoccupied. He sits, picks a random sheet of paper out of the box, stretches his fingers out and begins to transcribe it to proper paper. In proper handwriting. With proper headings, and a uniformity of style. Because someone knows how to keep account of things, unlike anyone else in the security office.

He came up because it was time to eat, but apparently there is no time to stop for repast. If anyone cares to dispute that, they may go and see the state of the office for themselves.



[OOC: Open until the weekend.
ETA: but for tonight, I must beg slowtime for sleep. Am around to continue all tomorrow. Night, all, and thanks to those who tagged. <333]

'I do not declare myself anything. I am indifferent to this.'

He finds the man's logic hard to fault, however. But he does not think of himself in these terms, and has no plan to begin now.

'One can measure oneself against a social standard. I would not waste my time. People find me as they will, and may continue to do so.'

"Including those that like you," Teja points out. "For whatever reason you may or may not find relevant yourself."

'If you would have it so.'

Really, he is not in the least interested in whether he is liked or not.

'In the meantime, I would like to return to this paperwork, if you have no objection. It will never be done, else.'

"Indeed, I shall leave you to it, then," Teja says. "I would praise your dedication to your work, but I am sure you would have a perfectly good reason to deflect that praise. Have a good day, Javert!"

He gives a brief nod, and then leaves, allowing himself an eye-roll, a sigh, and an actual smile only when well out of sight.-
