“… [ ASSISTANT ]? Are you still with me?”
“Oh, good. You were spacing out rather badly there- I got worried about you.”
“Look… You seem exhausted. I know I’ve completely lost track of time- how long have you been at this for…?”
The Professor’s expression softens. Ace reaches a hand out, gently pulling you to your feet.
“I think you’ve more than earned a little break from all this work… Why don’t you head back upstairs? Given I’ll be staying down here for the time being, what’s mine upstairs is yours- just don’t steal any money, hah! Drink some water, get some food… look around and get familiar with the place! And take care- make sure to wash up and rest.”
“I’m… Sure I’ll be upstairs by the time you’ve wrapped up all of your business and gotten some shut-eye. But for now, you’ve gotten enough eyestrain and excitement for the day.”
Gently, the Professor gestures away from your desk, encouraging you to stretch your legs… It’s hard to say no to those gentle and encouraging eyes.
