"Oh, uh..." Sadie cleared her throat. "Midterms season. It's even busier for teachers than students -- what with having to think up projects and test questions and then grade them after, deal with students bartering for points, trying to plan class events, y'know."

"Ahh." She nodded. "That's is rough. Especially with such a small school."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
"Yeah." Sadie nodded, relieved that worked. "And I teach five classes and two clubs. Definitely got my plate full."
(Random crack brain thought but what if Haelar comes to Ky tonight while she's sleeping just to add some ~ s p i c e ~ to tomorrow's meeting? lol)

"God, really? That's a nightmare. And I bet they only pay you worth one teacher's salary."

Sadie scoffed. "Barely that. I'd be eligible for food stamps if I wasn't married."

"I guess that's one good thing about being married, huh?"

(Sounds good! Did you have anything else you wanted to happen once she leaves Gaius's office? Or skip there in a few posts?)
"I mean, it is since my husband makes good money," Sadie said with a nod, vaguely gesturing with the packet of steaks in her hand. "Lets us have treats like this sometimes. It'd be rough if he were a teacher, too."

(Nope! I'm very low on ideas so we can skip to the dream)
"What's he do?" she asked. Behind Sadie, the door bell jingled and Nicholas stepped in. Marie gave him a nod.

Sadie turned slightly to see who it was. "Oh! Hello." She nodded to him, sidestepping the question.

He gave her a nod; he'd cleaned up this morning and was shaved, though there were still shadows under his eyes. "With you in a moment, Reverend," Marie said. "I'm just finishing up with Sadie here." "Take your time." He kept his distance.

"Oh, I don't want to hold you up." Sadie nodded to her. "I think this is all I need. Thanks again! He's gonna love it, I'm sure." She turned for the door.

"Have a good day, then." She nodded to her. "Good luck with midterms."

"Thank you." Sadie glanced at the Reverend and gave him a nod as well. "Have a good day." She strode for the door. She wasn't one to rub someone's nose in a favor and didn't want to risk embarrassing him by asking how he was feeling. They didn't need to mention last night at all. Ever, for what she was concerned.

Nicholas dipped his head, then stepped up to the counter. "I need a whole chicken," he said swiftly. "Biggest one you have." "Sure." Marie headed into the back.
