[ sitting at her desk, legs crossed & a hand resting lazily on a pile of papers (charts) on her desk, a finger tapping at it rather impatiently. ]

[ & this is the part when he would walk in, looking a little disheveled and dirty. dusts off his pants after examining them, sort of just loitering in the doorway. eventually he looks up and over at sheryl, almost surprised at her presence, despite being in her office to begin with. ]

Ah. Good afternoon.

[ takes one good look at his form & sighs, rolling her eyes. ]

Ahhh~ what was it this time? Fell into a manhole?

[adamtheshrink.livejournal.com]

A cat, I'm afraid. It was up in a tree...

[needleinreserve.livejournal.com]

Aren't you a little too old to be playing hero?

[adamtheshrink.livejournal.com]

[ looks a little pleased despite the straight face. ]

It was crying.

[needleinreserve.livejournal.com]

And?

[adamtheshrink.livejournal.com]

And I had to help it, of course.

[ the tapping stills, an eye rising slowly. ]

And?

[ blinks a few times lazily, lifting a hand up to his mouth in thought. please hold, this is going to take a while. ]

[adamtheshrink.livejournal.com]

...

[adamtheshrink.livejournal.com]

And I will buy you lunch in compensation for my tardiness?

[needleinreserve.livejournal.com]

Much better. Now, why don't you go get me a pepsi and we'll get to work?

Ah, of course.

[ sets down his briefcase and stands there for a moment, almost as if he were thinking long & hard again. eventually he takes off his blazer and puts it on the chair across from her, wandering out of her office to get the requested drink. ]

[ comes back a moment later, placing a small napkin on the desk before putting the pepsi on top of it. looks up at her, waiting to see if she approves or not. ]

[needleinreserve.livejournal.com]

[ she does, if the smile is anything to tell by. opens it & takes a sip, eyes already scanning the charts in front of her. motions to the patient chair for him to take with her cigarette. ]

Any changes I should know about?

[adamtheshrink.livejournal.com]

Not currently, no. [ takes the seat, placing his briefcase to the side. ] I have an appointment with them this week.

[needleinreserve.livejournal.com]

They've been behaving, I hope?

[ looks slightly amused through his neutral expression. ]

Nathan threw a pen at me on our last session.

[needleinreserve.livejournal.com]

Hoh~ and what might have prompted that?

[adamtheshrink.livejournal.com]

[ silence. ponders. ]

... I am not sure. He started yelling about their family trip when I asked where they were going this time. I wonder if he does not like Disneyland...

[needleinreserve.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know if that boy likes anything but his laptop.

[adamtheshrink.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. He still has an affinity for Damon, it seems. His presence continues to put him in a good mood... but this is nothing new.

[needleinreserve.livejournal.com]

Who can say? Damon never stays around long enough to see if they can tolerate each other on regular basis.

[adamtheshrink.livejournal.com]

Ah... that's true. He does speak highly of him, nonetheless.
