“You like reading huh?” He walked in front of him and opened the door to a library that is 10 times bigger the actual size of a library.
Skye's eyes widened in delight at the sight, and he instantly started searching shelves and pulling off a few hefty novels. As soon as he had a large enoght stack he teleported himself on top of one of the shelves, settling down to read.
He chuckled and sat down in the chair next to him, “I have read all of the books in his library. Was hard, but I did it. I have a photographic memory.”
"No. Spoilers." He growled, nose in book. "And you may as well leave me here."
He chuckled and shook his head, “I have some work to do here so I’ll stay.”
Skye growled at him, attempting to sway him away without looking.
Zoltan sat down at the desk across from Skye. He opened his laptop while putting on his glasses and started to work.
Skye continued reading quietly.
He picked up his phone and dialed a number, “Hello this is Zoltan Crowfeather and yes I’m calling about the situation…….. listen you can’t just…… no way I’m letting you use that……. I am the head of this company!” He banged his head against the desk, “I will not agree to that!” He hung up the phone, “Shit!”
Skye looked up from his book, the yelling having brought him out of bookland. "What'sup?"
“Nothing…I don’t want you to listen to my problems because you have your own to worry about…” he sat back down in his seat looking up trying to figure out a way to stop the company from making a stupid move.
Skye hummed, getting up, "I'll be the judge of that, now What's up?"
He groaned, “The editing company that I own is deciding to shut down because of how many authors aren’t meeting their deadlines. Stupid right?”
"How long are the deadlines?" Asked Skye.
“They’re pretty long it’s just people have lives to live and they don’t get that. So, they think because of slow business they’ll just shut the whole company down…” he sighed and rubbed his eyes
"True, but the authors should be making a bigger effort to keep their jobs and stay on deadline…" said Skye.
“They do! Some get writers block, some have events to go to, some family members die, and the only thing that the company cares about is the fucking dead line! This company going to make a stupid choice and I have no idea how to stop it!”
I guess that makes sense, but at some point you do have to stop cutting slack," he said reasonably, "Not that they should be shutting down, but they are being within boundaries about the deadlines"
“They’re like on day late though. I’m telling them that shouldn’t shut for something that dumb for a reason that dumb!”
Skye sighed, "That makes more sense…" he sighed, "Maybe get them to extend the deadline by one day?"
“Tried that…” he looked over, “Anything else?”
"Try telling the authors that the deadline is earlier than it actually is?"
“I guess that could work but if they find out they might just have a different company publish their books. Arthurs don’t like lies.”
"Explain it to them when they sign up" said Skye, "but keep the length of time before the actual deadline random so that they can't flub it."
The problem with that is if they finish it to early they can’t start the next one and questions will start to asked and the deadline isn’t the problem. It’s trying to get them to stop their idea of shutting down.”
Skye hummed, "true…" he sighed, "Unfortunately I wouldn't know how to get them to stop anyway…."
“Thank you for trying though…I appreciate it,” he smiled softly touching his hand.
Skye hummed and shrugged as he retrieved his book, perching himself on the edge of the other's desk to read.
He began to work and finished late at night, “Alright are you ready to go stargazing or are you too into your book?”
Skye was onto the third of his stack, but he put it down at the mention of stargazing. "Yeah I'm coming" he said.
