Passing The Torch

- Shiro stood in the hall outside of Samarra's office with a thermos of coffee in his hand. The two having scheduled a meeting with one another at two this afternoon. He looked at the clock to see the hands sitting at exactly 1:57pm, he'd been standing there nearly ten minutes now as he had a tendency to show up a little earlier than needed to things like this as to make sure he would be there ready and on time as he was easily distracted by the things around him. He would often get caught up in conversation or find a dog he needed to pet on his way to where he needed to go and leaving early assured him the time to do all of those things and arrive with time to spare. As the clock struck 1:59pm he reached for the knob of the door. He didn't knock often, not out of rudeness but due to the fact that he and Samarra had grown close over the years he's known her, seeing her as more than just a role model and more like family. In some ways, she was the big sister he never had, if not for everything she'd done for him he doubted he'd be where he was now and he certainly wouldn't be anywhere near as good a place as Koma Inu. Opening the door he saw the chestnut haired woman sitting at her desk, a pile of finished paperwork on one side with a slightly smaller stack of incomplete work on the other. He smiled at the sight of the person who'd taken him in and set him down a path he would have never found on his own. "Hey there Sammy, see you're as busy as ever huh?" He spoke, knowing Samarra worked hard to keep her guild going, the recent win at the Grand Magic Games had boosted her spirits but it didn't take away from the fact that there was work to be done and while he did his best to help her out as much as possible there was still things that only the guild master could touch and unfortunately that was the majority of the work. He sat down across from her, showing the thermos as he offered it to her, "I brought some coffee if you'd like some? Help beat the old two O'clock slump. It's still hot," He said with a bright smile. He was always happy to get a chance to spend some time with Samarra, even if this was a meeting and the two had things to discuss.
