Gone Fishing and Hacker(wo)man
Gone Fishing: i. what just happened
Gone Fishing: the . dog???
Hacker(wo)man: Apparently Martin let it in by mistake
Gone Fishing: im sad hes gone........ i want to hold him
Hacker(wo)man: The dog? Or Martin?
Gone Fishing: the dog obviously
Gone Fishing: altho martin does look very huggable
Hacker(wo)man: Oh! Martins back
Hacker(wo)man: He is. Fuming
Sasha pretended to be very focused on setting up her computer as Martin made his way back into the assistants office. He dropped into his chair with a huff, glaring at Jon Sims' closed door for a few long moments before turning to glare at his computer instead.
"You, uh, you good?" Tim broke the silence, finally. Thank god, too, it felt very awkward.
"He asked me why I let a dog in! As if I did it on purpose! Honestly! I know he's allergic, I'm not an idiot," Martin exploded.
"Ah." Tim blinked.
"It's not as if it caused any trouble. He was a very well behaved dog!"
"I'm sure he'll get over it," Tim said. Sasha could tell his air of confidence was entirely projected. "Didn't get a chance to introduce myself with all that going on, I'm Tim."
Martin gave him a tight smile, seemingly simmering down now that he'd expressed his irritation. "Martin," he replied. "But you probably got that somewhere in the middle of that argument."
"I'm Sasha." She followed Tim's lead, and earned a slightly less right smile. "Don't worry too much about Jon, he's just like that."
Martin gave her a confused look for some reason. "Oh, yeah, sure. He'll be fine, he's just stressed." Martin glanced towards the door to the main Archives. "His predecessor left this place a mess, you know? Nothing's in the right place, and she's taken all the labels off the shelves."
"Wait, really? Why?" Tim asked, leaning forward. Martin shrugged.
"She knew where everything was," he replied.
