Val sat at Officer Pendle's desk, making origami swans, in honor of a lost memory...she had no clue where Kitsuneko was anymore.
Officer Pendle had taken up residence across from her, filling in reports and watching her out of the corner of an eye. He seemed to be the only one who could manage to spend more than two minutes around her. Probably had something to do with the picture of the young girl on his desk. He said it was his sister. She died a few years ago, apparently.
Valentine began arranging the thirty or so paper swans on string, held there with paperclips. She wanted to hang them from the ceiling, but wasn't sure they'd go for that. She'd already gotten in trouble for putting fish in the water cooler. Hey, the place needed a mascot!
Sighing, bored (always a dangerous thing for those around her), she blew a puff and shifted an errant strand of hair from her eyes. Staring blatently at Officer Pendle, Val grinned. She had an idea.
The other officers on duty happened to notice her grin, and many of them suddenly found things to do. Elsewhere.
Stretching like a cat and casually walking over to a thug chained to a desk, she took a seat and began a chat with him. Officer Pendle, intrigued, watched Val and the huge dude converse. In moments, the large man was in tears and Val was walking smugly away. She detoured into the ladie's room where she could toilet paper the place in peace, since all the femal Watch officers where either out on duty, or home.
