Chapter 35
Trinity stopped coloring all of a sudden, and looked up at the door. Call looked up at it as well, and got up to put her ear to the door. She could hear faint footsteps from down the hall, and as they grew closer Trinity grew tenser. Eventually the footsteps stopped and got farther away again. Call tried to back away from the door, but found Trinity was leaning on top of her. She had her own ear to the door and was basically draped over Call.
She slowly stood up and slid Trinity off of her. As soon as she touched the ground she ran off to her desk. She grabbed some of her papers and a crayon or two, before grabbing Call's hand. Together they left the room and headed down the hall. Trinity pulled her quickly as she led her to the exit door. When they were out she quietly shut the door behind them. She let go of Call and let out a sigh of relief. Call looked at her for a few seconds before walking down the hall. She entered Sanda's office and found him at his desk.
"Oh, hello Call. I was about to go look for you."
"Sanda."
"Yes, Call?"
"...Never mind. Question: You were looking for me?"
"Y-yes. If you can I'd like some help sorting these papers."
"Right away, sir."
Sanda stood up from his chair, and brought the papers with him. He laid them out on a bigger table and sat at it. She came over to sit down beside him, and watched him spread them out.
"Put papers that have a red tab with odd numbers here, and the ones with even numbers here. The ones with the blue tabs and odd numbers here, and with even numbers in this stack."
"Understood."
She followed his orders, until a few seconds later when the door opened. Trinity was now peaking in from behind Sanda's door. He looked up at her with smile, while motioning for her to come in.
"We're just sorting some papers. Come on in!"
Trinity slowly came toward them, and quietly sat beside Call. She seemed a little nervous as she looked back and forth between them. Sanda only smiled and they went back to sorting. As Call was putting a paper in, she could feel something being slid into the stack of papers in her hands. She paid it no mind until she got to drawing of a tree.
She looked at Trinity who was suddenly finding the carpet to be very interesting. She looked at her for a second more before putting the drawing to the side. She went back to sorting her papers, but felt the sliding of a paper into her stack again. Sure enough, a few papers in and again a drawing. This time it was of a bike with a stick man on it. She placed it with the tree drawing, and went back to sorting. She could hear the sound of crayon running across and sticking to a paper.
A paper once again slid into her stack and appeared a drawing of a fluffy little dog. A little red heart was floating near it with a smiley face. It was added to the forming drawing stack. This continued on until they were done sorting papers and Trinity had nothing else to draw on. Sanda stretched and looked at the little doodle pile on the table. He picked it up and looked at them.
"Trinity, Are these drawings yours?"
She nodded yes.
"Well, they are very cute. Well done."
A little blush fell on her cheeks and looked down. Sanda chuckled and looked at Call.
"And you've done a good job of sorting these papers. Plus these drawings."
He reached over and gently rubbed Call's head.
"Thank you for helping me."
He pulled back and smiled at her again. Call instead glanced at Trinity who looked curious.
"Do you want a little pat too?"
Trinity didn't do anything for a minute, but then shyly shook her head yes. Sanda gently rubbed her head, and after a few seconds she seemed to lean into his hand. Scanning...
"Thank you for being some nice company, and some nice drawings."
Call only watched as Sanda thanked Trinity. Sanda's Emotions: Happiness. Trinity's Emotions: Content.
