The very notion of not going to work hadn't even crossed his mind, it had been a foregone conclusion that he'd go to work tomorrow even after he'd been shot. Yes, he might find it difficult and extremely uncomfortable but the alternative wasn't an option. "I never miss work, I also don't take many personal days so the Minister is going to find it strange if I suddenly ask for another day." He'd mulled over a dozen or so different explanations for the Minister to address why he was moving like he was under a half worn-off full body-bind curse. "I'd rather not deal with too many questions I can't answer, it's in your best interest too. If I'm arrested for illegal dueling you're coming with me."
