.
Workouts scheduled for the rest of the week, Pietr sighs, shuts down FightMe and stretches his arms over his head.
Checks his watch.
Plenty of—
Mobile buzzes.

Pietr pushes to his feet, heads to the kitchenette and coffee.
No response from Andrea.
Puts the percolator on the burner.
Still no response.
Frowns.

Snags the tablet, updates FightMe.
Considers.
Mobile out.

AGNIS: Officer Jason Egan, he-him-his.
p_a_vos: Thnx!
Transfers Egan into the hand-to-hand class, too.
Sets tablet aside, pours a mug of coffee.
Mobile buzzes.

jason_goldilocks: Cool!
jason_goldilocks: CU!
Grins.
Takes a drink, sighs happily over mug.
Checks his watch.
Plenty of—
Doorbell flashes.
Rolls his eyes, takes coffee to the door.
Chantell!
"Have a moment?"
Pietr bows her inside, indicates the couch—
She sits.
—sits next to her.
"Okay. So, these—" Passes over a thick envelope. "—are copies of the standard Cadet and Ranger contracts, standard Ranger insurance policy, and information about the fitness requirements for Rangers—not that you really need a reminder about that—and how Medical will help you get there. There're sticky notes where you need to sign."
Pietr sets the envelope and his mug aside. Out comes the mobile.
- If questions? -
Chantell smiles. "Just ask me."
Thumbs up!
"There's one other thing."
Pietr attends.
"Copilots [normally have a suite to themselves], but since Chuck is a minor and because of mental health stuff, the Powers-That-Be think it would be best if you two share a space with Herc and Scott."
- Agreed -
"Cool. I'll let Custodial know so they can schedule a time to move walls."
Thumbs up!
Chantell attends her pocket, gestures for a moment.
Pietr sips coffee.
Chantell goes rigid, claps a hand over her mouth.
Queries.
"Officer du Croz—/Lucky Seven's handler—'s a grandpa!"
Pietr spins Chantell to her feet, hugs her tightly.
Chantell hugs him back, bounces a little. 
Pietr squeezes, draws away.
Chantell, eyes bright, grins, "We'll have to corner him for pictures tomorrow."
Nods enthusiastically.
Mobile vibrates.
Pietr glances—
"I gotta jet." Chantell smiles. "Have a great day!"
Pietr beams.
AGNIS: Your Queen, Princess, and Princeling await your attention.
Pietr flutters, dives across the suite for the tablet.
When he turns back around, Chantell's waving from the doorway.
He waves back, accepts Griet's video call, and skips over to the couch.
