"Yeah, me and CyCy had a lot of fun last night!"
"Can't. I'm meeting boss for dinner, old man."
Orson wasn't particularly pleased. Not with whatever was going on with Carley and Cyrail. It was suspicious how much time they suddenly spent together as of late. Outings to taverns, working late nights together, and now dinner! "Pah!" Orson grumpily voiced his aggravation aloud as he paced his cabin in the Luinista.
Carley was a dear, sweet child to him. Vibrant and full of life. Then? Then there was Cy. Cy had good qualities, of course, but he wasn't right at all for his dear, sweet adopted granddaughter. "Cocky bastard..."
Orson had to nip this in the bud.
He would fight fire with fire. Hi jinx with hi jinx. Shenanigans with shenanigans. Mischief with mischief. He would do something he figured Carley would do, in such a situation. Scheme. Lie. It was for the greater good, after all.
After spending a good half hour scouring his room for a blue pen, Orson tacked an additional fifteen minutes to his search to find some paper. The pen had to be blue, since Carley always seemed to write with blue, and this had to look legit. Cy was no fool, after all. Still, he knew her handwriting, but how did she write? How did she formulate her thoughts on paper? Bah. No matter. It wasn't likely that Cy knew either. Sitting down, Orson opted to pen something short and perhaps, not so sweet, while he did his best to emulate Carley's handwriting.
CyCy,
I find you to be a very good employee, but I feel you're trying to carry our relationship to a level I'm uncomfortable with. I don't mind having a friendly work relationship, but I would appreciate if you started to respect boundaries and discontinued your pursuits.

It was a masterpiece, in Orson's mind. Grunting in satisfaction, he folded the paper once, twice, thrice, and one last time for good measure. He simply had to deliver the letter now.
Upon exiting his cabin, the gnome snuck around and peeped around the various hallways of the Luinista. No one seemed to be out and about. Excellent. They were likely tired from having to clean up so much muck earlier that day. Something that Cy should have helped with, he thought, since it was Cy's fault in the first place!
Eventually after all his sneaking, Orson stood in front of Cy's room. Rather than barge in, though he knew it to be empty, he simply shoved the letter underneath the door. The boy would see it when he returned from his outing with Carley, surely.
All he had to do was wait.
