A Diamond Must Shine

[makeminerubies]

It'd been a while since Claudia's last "spa day", or her last participation in what passed for such a thing here in the Deck. Granted, it wasn't up to New York standards, but Claudia couldn't deny it was well worth the effort; she'd taken the entire afternoon off to be pampered with manicure, pedicure, facial, deep tissue massage and heavenly soak in a cleansing tropical bath. All of which had done wonders for her mood.

Which was why, just now, the Nine of Diamonds was rather comfortably ensconced in the library with a few files and her laptop, sipping hot tea and listening to quiet classical music on the stereo, even humming along during certain parts. Her cell phone beeped every so often, but Claudia just ignored the ring; her mother was the absolute last person she wanted to speak with just now.

That would ruin the entire reason for her earlier outing.

Glancing up, Claudia spied one of the Clubs--ah, yes; their Jack. Elani. She put down the resumè she'd been reading, saying, "Good evening. And no bother."

An eyebrow perking to the question, Claudia glanced over at the desk, giving a wave of fingers in its direction. "She was here a moment ago," being irritating, alas, "but I believe headed towards the desk there. You might ask Miss Henshaw when she returns; she stepped out for a moment."

Elani looks in the direction Claudia gestures and frowns slightly. "We were supposed to meet..."

Well, she might've been called away. So she'll just sit down in a nearby chair, intending to wait for the librarian to return. Or Henshaw, whichever.

"Thank you, you don't mind if I wait for her here do you?"

She can manage to do some work, at least, while waiting. Re-reading over Fin's report, at least.
