{Making Amends} Seeking Approval

Mira Nicholas-Archer

*Taking a deep breath, I knock on Lucan office door with only the trace hints of apprehension. I wasn’t really sure how this was going to go and I also wasn’t sure my pitch was sound. I stood there for a few seconds before I heard the muffled yet gruff voice behind the large door, signaling not only my entry into his office but also my heart rate to quicken.* Good evening, sir. *I said as I entered the room slowly and approached his large desk* May I speak with you about something *clearing my throat delicately* Personal?

  Lucan Thorne *He watches as the petite warrior folds herself into an over sized leather chair, she sits ram rod straight and locks her fingers together, placing them on her lap. He can tell she is not as relaxed as she would normally be around him, so he figures she is about to say something he probably doesn't want to hear. Closing his lap top to give her his full attention, he meets her violet eyes* Of course Mira, what can I do for you ?

Basically, I've come here tonight to ask if you would give us leave to head to Italy and mend fences. *I swallow, realizing I may have said that too fast, too scattered and possibly a little bossy.* I ask with the greatest respect...sir.

  Lucan Thorne *His fingertips pull and tug at the stubbly growth on his chin while he quietly contemplates her request. Flipping open his laptop, he pulls up the patrol schedule, looks it over once and decides* Gideon will have your itinerary by tomorrow evening, I will make some changes and have both of you covered for patrol and training. *He gives her a reassuring smile* Tell Lazaro I said hello.

  Mira Nicholas-Archer *I sit there with my mouth slightly open, I never expected to get this response so quickly* Are you serious? Lucan, this is... *I find that I am for once at a total loss for words. My heart was pounding and all I could think of was how even though Lucan was the fierce GenOne leader of the Order and my boss, he was also family.* Seriously, I can't thank you enough for this. *I stood up and smiled* I will give Laz your greetings and I promise to be back as soon as we can! Thank you! *I say once more before leaving his office and search for my mate*
