Tensing slightly, Nick had half-hoped it would be boss. Susan was not a bad person, but he felt he might have insulted her already and things were hard enough anyhow at school. Still, he had to ask and Susan was one of the two people who might be able to help him and he didn't feel bad talking to her, he just got the feel she didn't quite enjoy it.<br/><br/>"Nick here." He started and tried to find the right way to say things so it would be as clear as possible and avoiding any insulting things he might say by some accident while nervous. "I think I lost something at work today earlier, I had just finished my homework when I noticed a ... talisman I wear was missing. I keep it under my shirt usually, so you might not have seen but well, I was wondering if you could look at the back room if you saw it there? If it got lost there I am glad, then I should be able to get it back but if I dropped it somewhere along the way it might be harder so ah..."<br/><br/>He was saying too much already, he quickly admonished himself to shorten it up. "Anyway, I was wondering if you or boss could look if there's a silver pentagram in there on the floor? I'm not into anything dangerous its just something I got as a gift and treasure, so please." He silently hoped it was alright. "If it's there..." He started to say he'd come over, but his leg ached still after his fall earlier. "... I'll pick it up tomorrow I can't walk more today, tripped pretty bad with that little tremor. Got careless and hurt my ankle." He almost slammed his face to his desk at saying that. What was this, confession hour?<br/><br/>"Anyhow, sorry to bother you so, but could you look?"
