"Strictly for use here," Violet repeated Ellington's comment, nodding.
Violet had not yet left the room when Anik made his comment about 'inspiration', but she left the room quickly after, blushing slightly. Didn't seem like they had any more questions.

The shadow of embarrassment to loom over him had graced Ellington with a bout of clumsiness. He had scribbled the remainder of information he knew he could fill out, only pausing from time to time before he had again dropped the pen. "G-g-good to know." He had spoken within a quick stammer, nodding his head toward Violet. "Can't tell you the messes I've seen from extended use of things like this." A breath had been inhaled, the hand fiddling with the cup holding the thing up to his face before he gave a grimace. When he had again looked, the woman had vanished - leaving the office its own barren little territory, housing nothing more than the two of them.
Ellington had coughed loudly as he reshuffled the papers, setting them neatly down on the desk. His face had turned a horrible red as he stood, meticulously placing the chair back where it had been; then he had given Anik a sheepish look. There was no arguement - Anik had bested him there, and it looked as if he may have left the poor nurse bashful considering she had left. Never mind the thought, Ellington had only seemed to laugh before covering his eyes, the cup still tangled in his fingers. "Of course I know where babies come from and how they're made - I have three younger siblings, and I could tell you at least one horror story I'd rather never explore again." He had seemed to smile, the laughter simmering down to a faint, stiffled snort. Slowly he had removed his hand from his eyes before giving the motion of 'cheers' as if to signify he had surrendered. Anik had cornered him. With a shake of his head, he had found himself leaning. In a light voice, he had whispered to Anik's ear: "I expect dinner and a movie afterward considering it hasn't come before." The laughter had again started as he strode towards the door; his fingers had carefully taken out the knot of his tie before setting the thing into his suit's pocket.
"The paperwork is finished - Do you want to look it over real quick, or shall we go?" Ellington had peeked outside the door, turning his head in both directions before finding the restroom. Right across the hall. Just as Violet had said.
