Logan walks into to his room to find two kittens curled up in one cup of a bra that most certainly does not belong Andrea. He eyeballs it as best as he can without actually going anywhere near, notices some staining on the inside, and comes to the conclusion that the only person who could have stuff that could stain the inside of their underwear is the Marshal since she breastfeeds (which is kinda cool—oth in that she does so and that a human body can fully support another (albeit small) individual) so Logan backs out of his room, [into] the hall, and makes his way stiffly the Marshal's office.
"Cadet Jones," greets the marshal's equerry.
"I need to talk to the Marshal—" Clears his throat, says, in a less strangled fashion, "Hi. I need to speak with the Marshal, please."
Equerry blinks. "Uh, sure." Steps to the door, knocks.
「「Yes?」」
「Cadet Jones would like a moment, ma'am. Seems to be urgent.」
「「Send him in.」」
Equerry steps aside, gestures, 'after you'.
Logan swallows, wipes his hands on his trousers, forces himself to enter.
The Marshal is currently breastfeeding.
"Cadet," she greets.
"Marshal," Logan croaks.
Baby nurses away.
"Baby," he adds.
Baby flicks an eye his way, pays him no attention otherwise.
"You wanted to speak with me?"
"Uh, yea." Logan wipes his hands again. "Are you—there's a cat—" Rubs the back of his head. "Are you, uh, missing anything?"
The marshal frowns, opens a drawer.
A beat.
"Nang?"
"Yes, ma'am?"
"Will you accompany Cadet Jones, please? I have reason to believe something of mine has made its way to his quarters."
"Consider it done, ma'am." Equerry bows to the Marshal.
The Marshal nods. "Cadet."
Logan snaps a bow that's probably too deep, leaves—
Equerry gestures, 'after you'.
—quickly, and soon he's leading Equerry to his room.
"Uh huh," says Equerry.
Logan rubs the back of his neck. "Yea."
"Sorry about this," says Equerry—
"No problem."
—easing the cats from the underwear. "And to you, of course."
Logan waves it off. "'s nothing."
Underwear disappears into jacket. "You want me to call up Laundry?"
Logan glances at his bed—shudders.
"I'll call up laundry."
Logan croaks.
"Sorry again."
"Blame Feng."
Equerry laughs. "I'll make a note of that, thanks." Equerry leaves.
[Logan shudders, heads off in search of Feng.]
