"The letter of appointment?" Adjutant Grant paused as he looked at the document before him.
'The Council of Elders is being uncharacteristically quick,' he thought. 'But isn't this letter of appointment a bit too soon? What if the document still needs revisions?'
"I'm starting to wonder how you even became His Majesty's adjutant," one of the elders quipped, looking at him.
Adjutant Grant: "???"
"If there are changes, you just don't present the official letter yet," the elder explained. "What if Miss Wexler is perfectly happy with the terms? Then you won't have to make another trip. The appointment can be made official right away."
So much more efficient. It would save them all another trip back and forth.
Adjutant Grant: "..."

Then, she gently poked Cillian Forrest with her finger.
