Skippy went through his sole task with the bubbly enthusiasm he was known for, quickly scattering papers further and further over the makeshift desk to spread them out like a map, then flip them again, as if it would yield different results.

A frown creasing his features, his fingers creasing the sheet he was holding slightly as he watched the kitsune's reaction.
