Counsel Me
Prompt: Labor
The meeting was, for once, going smoothly.
Xanxus was leaning back in his chair, his legs on the table and his hands behind his head, and tapping away on his phone and Dino had his head on the desk, eyes open but sleepy as he listened to Enma and Tsuna discuss the relationships with the Shimon and Vongola allies in the south.
"They don't seem to be on the verge of attacking," Tsuna muttered as he looked at the papers in front of him.
Enma hummed, biting the tip of his thumb, before answering, "No. If things don't get resolved quickly, though, we could end up in the middle of-"
He was cut off abruptly by the door to the meeting room bursting open.
They all turned their attention to it, finding one of the maids standing therewith a red face and heaving chest.

Tsuna's chair hit the ground as he stood up, "She what?"
He glanced around, as if trying to decide what to do.
Before he could answer, Xanxus shifted so his legs were on the ground. "Alright, as the representative of the Vongola independent agencies, I'll be taking over the meeting while the trash goes to the hospital."
"Ah." As he ran towards the door, Tsuna had a thought that perhaps he should have left one of the others in charge but Xanxus was the only other Vongola present. "Thank you, Xanxus!"
