Sen abhorred paperwork. He always had. Even as a child the act of having to stare mindlessly at boring white paper with even more boring letters and numbers. He'd actually done badly in school those first few years. His mind was elsewhere most of the time. His attention span during class was abysmal and he spent a good deal of time standing in the corner of his classes for nodding off. It wasn't that he was stupid though, it was actually the opposite. he'd been much too smart for his age and so his lessons while learned were boring for him. As he grew older he found himself cut off from his male peers. His sharp tongue landed him in numerous fights none of which he ever stood a chance of wining. And so he'd found solace in his female friends and they soon found that not only was he charming company he was a great study buddy so long as they filled out his class work.
Fast forward to present day and not much has changed. He had paper work to fill out from a reap. He hated it but it had to be done and so he had fallen on his usual method. Bumming his help from some ladies. And as of yet he'd only been forced to fill out a few forms. Fair damsels were always happy to lend him a hand. And so now he was idling about the records room, pretending to be working but really just waiting on a female to walk in and save him from this monotony.

The one thing Andy hated the most about being sent out on Reap Orders was definitely all the paper work she had to fill when she was done. One of the reasons why she became a bodyguard instead of a full-time reaper actually. Too much paperwork was involved with devoting that much time to reaping. As time goes on though, the process became more monotonous so she didn't really mind as much as she did when she first started. Hell, she could barely read when she first started. All she could read back then were star charts and various maps but even then, that was a stretch. She had someone else to do it for her and she had more important things she had to worry about as Captain so why bother with fussing over some words printed on paper? Still, at least filling paperwork after reap orders had taught her how to read and write better than she was able to back in the day. Which was pretty much non-existent at the time.
Strolling into the records room with a small flask in hand, she might as well get this work over with. She really didn't want to face the wrath of not getting her paperwork done on time. Again. Taking a seat in one of the open seats, Andy plops herself down onto it and gets settled, taking a swig from her flask before getting to work. Alcohol was always good with helping her get through this monotonous task.

Sen was fast losing hope he was going to be saved from his own personal hell. He'd been in here for nearly an hour and the old librarian lady had been giving him the stink eye since he'dset foot in here. The old dragon. He had attempted to butter her up some upon arriving and she had shut him down so hardhe had to make sure his person was still intact.
Sighing again he looked he'd way and smiled charmingly but he got the usual acidic glare before she returned to her work. The work of her Lord and Master SATAN he presumed. And then the sound of boots clicking on the floor drew his attention to one of the entrances. His blue which assessed the arrival. A maiden. Well a very unfeminine one but a babe was a babe. He was even more intrigued when she pulled out a flask and downed a gulp. Nice, well she was playing the roll of pirate pretty well and helut on his friendliest grin as he waved her over.

Andy was looking over the sheets that she had to fill out so she didn't really notice Sen waving to her at first, most of her attention trying going to mentally filling in all the blanks first. As she went to take another swig from her flask, she finally noticed him waving in her direction. She wasn't really sure that he meant her, this kind of thing doesn't happen as often as it used to, especially with her choice in clothing. Taking a quick glance at her surroundings, she notes that there wasn't anyone else standing nearby. she lets out a sigh, so he actually was waving the pirate over.
Weighing her options down in her head, she saw that she had three. Ignore him and try and do some work, though, he might go to her if she didn't go to him. Leave, and not get the paperwork done on time. Or indulge him and actually see what he wants. Unfortunately option number three won it out in the end, at least she might still be able to get work done if she scared him off or something. Standing from her seat as she tucks the flask away in her jacket, she strides over to Sen and leans onto desktop next to him.
"Ye know, people usually don' wave me over unless they want somethin'" At least, that's how it's been in her own experience. But then again, her experience involved naughty things back when she frequented Tortuga.

It took a moment but Sen finally caught her eye. Wonderful. She seemed to weigh her options before finally giving in and joined him. He smiled kindly and clicked his gaze to her flask. "Oh you know. Paper work has to be some place in the 7 circles of hell. Further proof that this place might very well be a horrible delusion brought on by a pain so intense my mind fabricated this exestensial paradise." He then laughed and shook his head. "What I mean is how about sharing that booze. Doing this crap sober has to some kind of illegal crime." He then smiled charmingly and batted his eyes teasingly. Just judging from now she was dressed he knew he had to change up his approach. Who knew, she might actually be kind of fun. Most women were in general but that witch behind the desk wasan exception.
Gesturing to the old bat he grinned. You know how long that stale piece of bread has been molding around here?"

Wow, there was a lot of big words in there. Being called slow was normal for Andy though, especially when it came to larger words and such since she never really got any form of education. Still, she managed to get the gist of what he was trying to say about his existential crisis, living for an extra 300 years had helped with that. "Pretty sure that goes for everyone else here, lad. Can' say I haven' thought of that idea either." She takes a moment to decide whether or not she should actually let him have a drink, giving a small, hopefully unnoticeable, wince when he starts batting his eyes and smiling at her. It's not like she thought it was weird, it's more so that she knows what's going on here. Afterall, she's done it herself multiple times. Still, she takes the flask back out and sets it on the table. It's not like she didn't have the means to buy more liquor later anyways.
After setting the flask down on the table, she looks over at the person in question. "Aye, I think she was around when I first started this gig. Hard to tell though, don' really pay much mind to her. Too busy tryin' to finish work and get the hell out of here."

Sen laughed and swiped the flask and took a swig. And then proceeded to gag. "Sweet sunshine what is this mess, bottled stomach acid!" He comically wiped at his tongue. "Should've known better than to drive k something a pirate brought in." He laughed and shoved the bottle back. "I will take mental suffering over having the lining of my esophagus melted. Not surprised though. I was a real light weight when I was alive. Just smelling that back then would've sent me to the floor."
Sighing he leaned back in his chair doing that fun juvenile trick of balancing himself on the back two legs. "Hm well usually I just convince some cute mousy girl to do my paper work for me. Works like a charm usually."

Andy laughed when Sen ended up gagging on the alcohol in her flask. Sure, it was strong alcohol, it was most likely Gin or Rum or Vodka, she couldn't really remember anymore, but it was rare that she got to see a reaction like this when it came to the alcohol that she stores in her flask. Taking the flask back up, Andy took a quick swig before she tucked it back into her jacket pocket, the burn of the alcohol not even fazing her. "That's usually the first reaction everyone has when they try this shit. I don't even remember what I put in here, all I know is that it's pretty damn strong, lad."
Maybe three hundred years ago, Andy would have said she does the same thing that Sen does when it comes to doing paperwork. After all, when you're a pirate at the hardest era of their lives, you have to be manipulative or be manipulated. At least, that's how Andy was back then. "Probably would've done that meself back in the day but now," Andy shrugged. "I've had me fill of makin' people do what I want. Bein' Cap'n for five years makes ye weary of sittin' around and makin' other people do shit for ye."
