Yep. There he was. Opening his door just as she came to the hall.

"Murphy!"

There was notable amount of joy to her tone as she waved for his attention. It had grown over the last few months, like she's been adapting to emotions in general and they were finally peeking through her regular stoic demeanor. There was also a small trot to her step to hurry herself toward him. Maybe she picked that up from Scout...

"I didn't know you weren't already here." Not that she wouldn't have waited for him.

"What did you want to talk about?"

Right to the point today.

Nope, not even a 'how are you' or a 'let's get inside' or anything.

Far too excited for that.
