Evie
And it's my whole heart
While tried and tested, it's mine
While tried and tested, it's mine
A small smile hides in the corner of her mouth as she feels his breath rustle her hair. It’s not going to be easy, but the reminder that they share this burden now makes the day’s tasks seem a little easier. Even more so when another comes to assist in the efforts - though it’s the childish young man who had exploded like a shaken soda bottle when presented with love advice. Ah well, hands were hands, and Evie had not been bothered by his histrionics before. Perhaps now would be a better day for his mood. Hopefully for all of them; a little optimism wouldn’t be amiss between the three of them.
Deimos’ distaste for the paperwork is evident, and Talyson’s avoidance secures it, so Evie laughs quietly as her hand rises to squeeze the Sword’s arm in a parting gesture of companionship. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle the files.” Her twin was a bookkeeper after all, not to mention the Wordsworth affairs she’d been taught to keep in order in preparation for her taking over the family estate. None of that matters now. It is all lost. But the skill and familiarity remains, and so Evie goes about collecting the folders and loose papers into roughly divided piles based on topic. All placed on the largest desk, so that all the other furniture could be cleaned out without losing something important.

Evie collects all the files onto the largest desk and begins to separate into rough piles based on topic.
