Athan froze, eyes wide as he gingerly patted Kova on the back in an effort to reciprocate the rather endearing hug. Even so, it caught him a bit off guard, and being the loner that he had become (and perhaps just working with Reyna much too often), he was rather unaccustomed to the close contact. This lent for a rather sweet, yet awkward moment.
He cleared his throat and took a step away from Kova. "Well," he murmured as he moved to take a seat in Reyna's chair behind the desk, "It's nothing short of the truth."

"I still wanna say thanks, though." Kova giggled, lifting her hands to push back tumbled bits of leaf-green hair. "It's nice when people say it. Oh! I have to finish the coffee." Shooting another brilliant smile his way, she again disappeared into the back room. Coffee wasn't technically in her job description but, just as cookies appeared along with her at regular frequencies, she had adopted it as her right.

Athan simply smiled and went back to sorting through the different packages he had laid out. One in particular stood out from all the rest as it was contained within a velvety pouch. He reached out and touched the surface of the bag, seemingly tracing the features of the stone before opening the pouch and withdrawing the prize within.
"And I wonder," he muttered quietly under his breath as he quietly admired the carved surface of the amazingly large opal in his hand.
