Greta has seen the desk before, which is the only thing that keeps her from exclaiming over it, now. But she likes how cleverly it's put together (and leave it to Thomas to acquire furniture that's as complex, in its own way, as some of his creations), and how organized it is. Bookkeeping is one of the aspects of business ownership that she doesn't especially miss, but she can appreciate that he's at least going about it in a manner that ought to minimize frustration -- and mistakes.
"Of course," she says, plunking herself down in the desk's accompanying swivel chair and glancing over the labels, familiarizing herself with what goes where before they begin. "Should be easy enough, from the looks of things."
And it is. They settle into a rhythm after a minute or two, and Thomas was careful enough when he packed them that there aren't any surprises. Before too long, the desk's myriad little cubbies are full, and Greta sits back with a satisfied little smile. "There we are. You could get right to work. Not that you ought to," she adds, getting to her feet. "If anything, I'd say you've earned a break."
