Od Akhifer - "Males are so annoying" cz.3 (j. angielski)

It only took two days for Akhifer to recover. Luckily. If she was bed-stuck for any longer, she would have probably gone crazy. She didn’t know she was so… addicted to doing things. She didn’t even know one could get addicted to being busy. It was a really good thing that she didn’t need to rest anymore and could focus on her responsibilities. Or so she thought.

“Good evening! So, how are we feeling, miss Alpha?” asked Elrad, suddenly appearing next to her as she was carrying some papers. She was so focused on discussing some problems with her advisers that she didn’t notice him approaching and was caught by surprise.

“Elrad! I’m good, thank you. And good evening to you too. Don’t you have any patients that need help?” She-carp remarked, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye.

“Not today, no. Everyone’s surprisingly healthy this season.”

“Miss Alpha, do you know that man?” One of the advisers whispered to Akhifer, getting between her and the male. Elrad didn’t seem too happy in this arrangement, but acted unmoved, which was probably for the best.

“It just so happens, Jura, that indeed, I do know that man, and I trust him. At least enough to talk with him.”

Akhi could swear she saw Elrad almost making a face. She found it rather funny than disrespectful, which was surprising even to her. Had she really started to consider Elrad a friend after just a few encounters? Seemed so.

“Very well. Would you like us to leave you two alone?” Jura gave Elrad a suspicious look, from which he cowered.

“No need, we can chat with Elrad another day, when I’m less busy. Perhaps at some park?”

The male looked dumbfounded for a moment, figuring out what the alpha meant. Maybe he wasn’t as bright as he let on.

“Tomorrow?” he managed to stutter out, his fins swinging nervously beneath him.

“Tomorrow sounds nice, yeah. See you tomorrow, then!”

Akhifer gave Elrad a faint smile and swam off with her advisers. If it wasn’t for their presence, she would probably smack herself in the face. In this moment, she wasn’t sure, which one of them was the bigger fool, but at least she had a thing to look forward to. That’s always a plus, no?
