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]

"Of course." Shufti says. "All the men were."
shufti: (you generating paperwork?)

Shufti leans back, folds her arms, and raises an eyebrow.

Shufti studies him for another moment, then smiles.

"Mr Javert, you don't have anything to prove to me, nor I to you, so please relax."

"Well don't be grumpy then." Shufti says, laughing. "We're on the same team."

"Why not?" Shufti asks, genuinely curious.

"Oh, well we're not the police, so that's okay." Shufti says.

"Besides, how does that stop us treating you as an equal?"

Shufti watches him for a moment, then nods.

"That sounds lonely, unless you have always been that way?"

"Javert." A gentle tone that indicates 'don't start', but she gets up.

"It was nice to meet you, take care."
