"Mhijani...come over here." Askel called for Zariah, staring at her from where he sat at the desk in his study.
Zariah glanced up from the couch where she worked, passing Askel a questioning look.
"Come sit with me." Askel said to Zariah.
"There is only one seat there." Zariah pointed out the obvious.
"Exactly." Askel agreed, patting his thigh with a smirk.
Zariah rolled her eyes at that, returning her attention to the file she was working on.
"Do you not have sufficient work on your desk? Because I do." Zariah replied to Askel.
"I have been away for hours working and constantly busy these few days...can I not catch a breath?" Askel asked Zariah in an aggrieved tone.
"Take your rest then." Zariah replied simply.
"Come here." Askel said again, his tone firm this time.
Zariah glanced over, with a sigh, she placed down the file and got up to her feet, walking over to Askel.
