Noel watched as Viv started up the steps, it was obvious that she was having problems with the stairs. He stood, not able to make up his mind about what to do.
Bella came out of the room, wiping her paw’s on a small cloth, that room had been filthy over in the corner, she stopped when she saw Noel, then followed his eye’s to were Viv was tackling the stairs. She shook her head and approached Noel. “Boy, why is she walking up the stairs.” He looked at her,
“I asked her to join me upstairs, I need to go over some things with her, Mic and Myles.” Bella waved a paw,”
“Yes I know, you leave ina few day’s for Bray to ready your ship and meet your new second in command.” Noel looked at her, “Your mother told me earlier this morning.” She shook her head again.. “And I ask again, why is she walking up the stairs?” She pointed at Viv “Her ankle’s aren’t feeling well enough for that yet Noel, their still to raw from the rope burns.” Noel looked at her, then sighed, his mind was made up for him it seemed.
Rachel had followed Bella out of the room, and had wisely kept her distance from the two. Now Noel motioned her forward. “Rachel, take this” He held out his clipboard for her. “Following me upstairs, then bring some tea, and something to help Miss Viviana feel comfortable.” He took a deep breath and quickly approached Viv from be hind. He gently laid a paw on her shoulder, so she wouldn’t be surprised.
“Miss Viviana, When you are fully healed, I will allow you to walk up the stairs, for now...” He drew a breath, then picked her up, settling her gently against his chest. “Allow me to help you.” He started up the stairs before she could protest. A few minutes was all that was needed to reach the third floor, where his office was located. He set her down gently in front of the door, opened it, then picked her up again, this time setting her down in one of the office chairs.
Mic and Myles looked at each other, then at Noel. He ignored the questions in their gaze, “Mic, when we’re done here, you will take Miss Viviana to her room, Myles, you will see that she won’t need anything while she is recovering.” He settled behind his desk. “Understood?” Both male’s nodded and settled into their own seats. Noel turned to Viv, by this time Rachel had made it up to the room, and she was serving tea and coffee to every beast. “Are you feeling better now Miss Viviana? If you are, we will continue with this meeting.”

~Viviana
Viv heard the beasts whispers behind her but she was concentrating to much on each painful step. For a moment she stopped and took a deep breath. It was so bothersome that the tears began to seep into her eyes. Just then Noel came up behind her and swooped her up and into his arms. Viv in turned wrapped her arms around his neck smiling over at him, hoping that he couldn't see her doing so.
After being up the steps and at the door Viv assumed that she could make her own way in but Noel would not hear of it. She was once again being carried by Noel. A soft giggle escaped her lips, and even more so once she saw the expressions that were written over the two male's faces who already happened to be in the room. This must have been very odd behavior for Noel or it wouldn't have shocked everyone so much.
Noel made his way to behind his desk. Immediately he was giving orders to Mic and Myles. Viv wouldn't be able to get a word in edge wise but she did try. "Noel. I hardly think that's necess..." Her further vocal protest was cut short by him asking her if she was fine now. It was then that she knew that really there was no use in telling him that she could take care of herself and that he didn't have to trouble Mic and Myles to do things for her. Viv simply nodded and spoke softly, her eyes going to the gem around his neck. "Yes Noel. I'm feeling better. Please continue." Viv gave him a shy sort of smile, a knowing sort of smile.

Noel nodded to Viv then began to rearrange to papers on his desk, waiting for Rachel to pass out the drinks, then leave. He looked up, making eye contact with the three in the room.
“I’ve asked you all here to explain that I have been given stand by orders to be ready when ever I get full orders.” He stood and pawed out separate stacks of papers. “These papers detail what you will be doing while I am away.” He settled again. He needed to be brief and to the point. He still needed to tell Elana, and that was going to be much harder than this.
““I leave in three days for a one week stay in Bray, I have to make sure my ship and crew is ready.” Noel leaned forward and rested his elbows on the desk. “Any questions?” Watching Viv, she would have the biggest burden to shoulder. Did he give her to much, considering all that had happened that day?

~Viv
Viv smiled at him and settled her paw in her lap, giving whispered instructions that she only took two lumps of sugar in her hot tea. Still though her main focus was on Noel and his actions and especially when the words began to come out of his mouth. Viv was patient.
Then the words indeed did come. She was quite shocked to say the least. Her and Noel have only tipped the iceberg when it came to getting to know one another. Of course this news saddened Viv and it displayed as such on her face, even though she tried her hardest to keep that from happening. She was never good at pretending with her feelings.
So he had three days. Then he'd be gone for a week. That wasn't much time but then again her and Noel really didn't spend 'that' much time together. He was usually secluding himself or she was off working and keeping up with her occupation. Not to mention what happened today.
“Any questions?” Viv slightly gasped and then quickly spoke up before the other two males in the room had a chance to. The femme was usually a quick thinker like that. "Yes. What happens after the week? Will you return then?" It was a good question but Viv did have her reasons for asking it. She'd miss him.

Noel looked up at Viv. "I will be returning after the week is up to wrap some final things here and with my father." Noel looked over at her, wondering why it would matter to her if he came back or not, not like she would miss him... would she? He shook his head slightly. "After things are settled here I will move to Bray so I will be more readily able to deploy." He looked over at Myles sighing as he saw the lads question written on his face.
"No Myles, I will not be changing my mind about who I am taking." He stood and pointed, not accusatory, just making a point. "You will be staying here, helping Miss Viviana and watching out for Grandad, Elana, and Mother." He gathered up the papers on his desk. "Besides, Mic knows how to follow orders."
Noel gathered up the last of his papers, then checked his timepiece. "I'm afraid that will be all for now. I must be getting on to the house. Mic see Miss Viviana to her room," He glanced over at Viv. "Unless you have anymore questions Miss Viviana, I will be taking my leave."
((Feel free to auto Mic, or have her ask some more questions, you choice.))

"Unless you have anymore questions Miss Viviana, I will be taking my leave." Viviana had no more questions and so she shook her head from the right to the left a couple of times. It was evident that she was not in the mood to talk anymore. She just couldn't figure Noel out for the life of her.
Viv sat for a moment. All that she could do was to take a deep breath. As she released it she sighed in her mind as she closed her eyes briefly and thought about how Noel just dismissed them all, not to mention the fact that she thought that he was kind of harsh with Myles. The stress of not knowing what was going through his mind was bothersome to the femme.
Her brows furrowed a little and she stood on her own. She left everything sit where it was and come hell or high water she wasn't going to accept the assistance of another beast. Viv raised a paw to Mic, her eyes looking his dead-on as she spoke. "I can see myself to my room." The femme marched slowly out of the room. Her march was defiant even though she was in pain.
After rounding the corner she stopped for a quick second to gain her composure. She was just so darn frustrated with Noel. Viv continued on her way to her room, without looking back. Really she wasn't sure why she was so put off but she just knew that 'he' confused her.
She began to reason in her mind about the situation with Noel. Really there 'was' no situation with him. He probably never gave her a second thought. This was just a one-sided relationship. 'She' was just being crazy. It was clear that he really wasn't interested in her. What in the heck was she so upset about? She was probably mad about nothing. Nothing existed. No feelings. No prospect for a relationship between them. Clearly he was still stuck on a dead female that she could never even begin to compete with.
Viv groaned aloud, so frustrated with herself for even getting this upset with an imaginary situation....

Noel motioned for Rachel to follow Viviana, just in case she would need anything. He felt two pairs of eye's resting on him He ignored them on his way out the door, trying to think about how to tell Miranda that he was leaving.
*** Myles and Mic worked together to finish cleaning the office up. Myles was oddly quiet, thinking on what he had seen when Mr. Noel had entered the room. He had been helping Miss Viv, but something in his eye's was.. off.
"Mic?" he ventured a call over the mostly silent giant. He heard a grunt in return. "Was I seeing things, or was Mr Noel-" He stopped when he felt Mic's paw on his shoulder. He looked up at the older beast, trying to read his expression.
"Myles, what happens will happen. Just let it be." With those words, Mic left the room to head for his bed, leaving Myles in a state of almost shock.
"....He spoke!" Myles exclaimed to the empty room. Then rushed after him, trying to see of he could get him to do so again.
[END]
