Glossed nails tap endlessly atop the designer desk, the reflection of his fingers mirroring movements as they collided with light plinks.

As one hand ticked restlessly, the other sat under his chin, fingers curled into a fist and threatening to dig into skin- their stopping point millimeters from reaching their destination.

Upon his face, a thin line spread across his lips, neither happiness nor discontent shown on his features- Kim settling for placidity just fine.

It was a meditation of sorts, the hypnotic rhythm of his fingers, the focus of holding his posture, and the general stillness that accompanied putting him into a hypnotic state, a ritual made of the simple acts when combined as they were.

The only thing that had snapped him out of this trance was the ringing of his phone- fingers halting mid tap as a lustre returned to his eyes- the consciousness of Kim once more blinking into existence.

A light breath was exhaled and he answered the call: one of his assistants' voices ringing through.

“Miss Parvati Atiyeh is here, Councilman, I’m escorting her to your office as we speak.”

After a second of silence, Kim gives a low: “Okay.” before he ends the call, leaning back into his chair with a light sigh.

Upon arriving at the office door, the assistant knocks before leaving with a nod, signaling they they have arrived but allowing Parvati to open the door herself.

The entrance was sparsely populated when she arrived. Those that were within the building already seemed intent on being somewhere else, hurrying up some stairs or down the hall, or out the door just as she was ducking inside; for all her height Parvati was agile and didn't so much as disturb the air around the stranger as they passed one another.

At the front desk she paused, in part due to the serious expression on the receptionist's face as their attention was swiftly garnered.

"Cadet Parvati -- I mean, Atiyeh, here for --" She stammered.
The receptionist didn't respond; they didn't appear to even notice Parvati there at all.

It was another body, arriving quite suddenly beside her, that ushered her away from the desk and down a hallway. The assistant was talking but not to Parvati - the Councilman then, through an earpiece. Before she knew it she was being shown a door.

As Parvati opened it and stepped through, she was welcomed in to a large office space. She didn't look around very much because there was a man there, drawing her attention immediately. Even sitting at his desk he looked tall, broad-shouldered, and more tanned than most of the people Parvati had come across. He could've passed for a distant uncle or something.

"I'm.. I hope I'm in the right place...?"

A sigh exhaled through his nostrils, the man apathetically readying himself for the meeting that had been pushed onto him- a knock on the door forcing him upright in his seat as his hands sat onto the desktop.

It hadn’t been too long before the door was opened, the familiar visage of Parvati stepping into the office; the girl obviously on her toes as she entered.

There was a second of consideration in his mind- a passing jest in asking her what she was doing in his office- but to put more stress onto her shoulder than he imagined she had already been feeling was a bit too cruel even for Kim.

“I hope you are too, Miss Atiyeh.” A hand motions to one of the chairs before him, seated in front of the desk. “Take a seat, I don’t want to rush this and I’d prefer you to be in a somewhat comfortable headspace so I don’t have to repeat myself.”

Falling silent after the bluntness of his words, he pulls out a drawer from his side of the desk, setting out a document first and then a small jar; honey sticks held within.

“Take one if you want, they’re not for everyone but I like them. They put me at ease.”

Sifting through the document, he allows for her to gain her bearings before he begins speaking- if she had anything to say, now would be the time for it- though nothing was expected.

He said her name, which surprised her a little bit, but it shouldn't have. He looked familiar; plus being newly enlisted, many people were not privy to her name and various details within her file. She would have to get used to being recognized (even in this vague sense). When offered a seat she took it.

The candy in the jar, however, earned a brief glance and a coy dismissal.
"Oh, no thank you. I don't have much of a sweet tooth."

The man was going through some papers on his desk. Parvati watched him, trying to remember if she'd seen him before. Maybe he'd come by the house before she enlisted? He looked young but not quite her age; it was impressive to her that someone could have a position such as his, at his age. Maybe she was misjudging things - he could've just had a youthful face.

He tilts his head lightly, a dismissive nod given her way as busied hands continued to shift through the document, amber eyes staying on the sheets as they shifted about.

“Suit yourself.”

Coming to a stop with his shuffling, Kim pulls out a single sheet of paper, sliding it onto the desk face up for her to see.

It’s a file on her father, the paper showing a list of his achievements among other personal information that would hold no real impact for someone of her relation.

“Karam Atiyeh, while his achievements don’t particularly stick out from most others, he is a veteran in the eyes of the league. He’s served us from the mundane to the extreme and his work speaks for itself- if I knew him better I would have been honored to shake his hand before his final farewell into retirement.”

A hand pulls the document back, setting it into the folder with a neutral expression, eyes moving from her to it as he took another file from the folder; her own.

While her fathers was filled with achievements, her own was barren, a fine line drawn in the sand between the two of them. Though this was not meant to create a schism, it was merely presented to fall into his next anecdote.

“And you are his daughter: Parvati Atiyeh, a bright eyed up and coming recruit with only a few months under your belt. And you’re already being call into my office.”

He chuckles, head shaking as he himself thinks of the bigotry in this decision that is not his own.

“But don’t worry, this isn’t anything serious.” Once more he pulls the paper away, slipping it into the folder as he did before.

“Have any clue why I requested you here, Miss Atiyeh? You’re allowed to guess if you’d like.”
