The cowgirl Queen rushes out of The Oracle offices after making Amal is not looking in her direction. She kept low to the floor with a hammer, nails, and a rolled up piece of parchment in her hand that she had been carefully working on since the day before. Des had been very lucky to have not been caught doing what she had been doing with this parchment at her Oracle desk as had she been no doubt she would have been forced to stand on the corner with the nasty newspaper boys as punishment.
This parchment had nothing to do with the articles that were overdue and still sitting in in scribbled down note form on her desk at The Oracle office building and the deadline was past but here she was running down the street helter skelter through traffic and those that were out for a spring time stroll yelling at people.
"Get out of the way! Move it! Ain't ya got nothin' better to do then lolly gag around like a bunch of Sunday drivers when it ain't even Sunday and ya ain't even drivin'! You is blocking the sidewalk! Take yourselves on over to the park or somethin' but get out of my way people! Can't ya see I am in a hurry here! Ya wanna get a house dropped on me or worse!"
Des rounded a corner with her goal finally in sight and breathed a sigh of relief as she glanced at the clock tower. So far she had only been gone about twenty minutes. She was out of breath something fierce and had a stitch in her side but there was the bulletin board pretty as you please at last. Her boots rang out on the cobblestones as she ran even those last few yards to her destination, unrolled the parchment and hammered in the nails to keep it there.
She stepped back a couple of paces to get a good look at her handy work that she had been doing instead of writing her articles and smiled as at least somebody should be happy that she had got something done that needed to be done.
Her smile fell as that brought a reminder that Matt wasn't here to be happy that she had remembered to make the poster like she had promised she would and it was with a bit of sadness that she turned to make the return trip to The Oracle offices. That though was followed by one of Koy and how hard this must all be for her and that she hadn't talked to her about Matt being missed and all but what could she really say.
It looked to Des like Koy was putting on a brave front much like she herself always did no matter what and to have someone bring it up well wouldn't that be rubbing salt in an open wound and maybe cause that front to crack when Koy didn't want it to just like she never wanted her own to. "Moonglow" always knew where to find her should she want or need to talk or just hang out so for now she would simply wait and see what happened next.
