The very idea of her feet not touching the ground was slightly amusing. Ignoring that amusement for her sake, he looked to the plate as it was placed before him. Then looked back at her. "Thank you Sybille." He responded. Looking to the paperwork, he gave a soft shrug. "It is fine. Work has picked up with the approaching school year."
