Unbearable Day
Nanao Ise loved her job for a number of reasons. Unfortunately some of those reasons were also reasons to hate her job. It typically depended on what sort day it was. She had just made it through the door of the bullpen when Shunsui came bursting out of his office. She sighed. That meant he had probably slept here again. That man really did need a keeper at times.
"Victory is mine! Victory is mine! Great day in the morning, people. Victory is mine!"
She rolled her eyes. She would take this to mean they had enough votes for the bill that was in front of congress today. "Good morning, Shunsui."
"I drink from the keg of glory, Nanao. Bring me the finest muffins and bagels in all the land."
She sighed, slipping off her jacket. "It's going to be an unbearable day."
Nanao hung up her jacket as Shunsui started celebrating with the other staffers. It was going to be one of those days.
