Aegis was asleep at her desk.
She hadn't meant to fall asleep, obviously. She'd been going through a stack of financial documents, cross-referencing expense reports with income statements, making sure everything was in order for when that accountant started sniffing around. It was important work. Vital, even.
It was also monumentally boring.
At some point, the numbers had started blurring together, and Aegis had thought to herself, "I'll just rest my eyes for a second." That had been, judging by the candle that had burned down to a stub, about two hours ago.
Now she was slumped over a pile of parchment, drooling slightly on a very important-looking ledger, completely dead to the world.
A pair of soft lips pressed against the back of her neck.
Aegis jolted awake, nearly knocking over her inkwell.
