[Salvio is looking very hard at the pages before him, completely blind to anything else. The office that stands around him is disastrous and tidy by turns. A worktable stacked with pages and folios and forms is butted up against a worktable with a spotless surface. Cupboards and bookshelves and drawers line the room, crowding in, all stacked with more pages and forms. Some of the drawers and doors have locks on them. One of the walls is studded with pegs, and a variety of cloaks and coats hang from it, a kind of lost and found. A stick is leaned up against that corner. Or maybe it's a staff. Who can say.
There are other people that work here, presences told by personal affects. Empty clean mugs that weren't clean when they were abandoned. A hat on a chair. Someone's thick work gloves left on a small desk.
Salvio is still staring down at the packet of papers, trying to make sense of what he has just been told. He finishes his movement, his reach for the pages.]
Oh. Yes? Um, wh, [no, what is he doing,] w, um. Leander has a--debt? That is--not exactly a question, only a-- a surprise, he seems--
[Who asked Salvio? He rubs a hand over his face. Maker's breath.]
I understand. Yes. I will-- I will make note of the debt that he owes, and see that it is-- that his stipend is garnished appropriately. And the funds applied elsewhere, for now. When--the debt is paid, will you want a report?
