Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kian took a deep breath and let it out slowly. It was technically too early to get another cup of tea but he apparently needed one. His boss had warned him that his newest assistant's handwriging was bad but he'd still expected some for of legibility.

The writing on the paper in front of him wasn't handwriting. He wasn't even sure it was chicken scratch.

Rubbing the bridge of his nose he leaned back in his chair while trying to figure out if he should text the young man to come translate or if he should just call dealing with that report a lost cause until the following day. Technically he had a week before they were do to his superiors so there was time for the notes to be redone and he could focus on something else. There were two of his own reports that needed polishing, the lab results from the students latest experiments needed to be compiled and sent to both the head of the university's biomedical division and the lead scientist at Chiron, and he definitely needed another cup of tea.

But

How did he even make it through school with writing like that?

Kian looked up when he heard his assistants voice, both glad and annoyed to see him. "You could have at least brought tea, coffee ... something." Taking a breath he snagged the paperwork off his desk before holding it out to the younger man.

"I need you to tell me what any of this says." He had no idea how Zachary made it through the school system with handwriting this bad. "I am aware that I am a bit rusty on my shorthand but this is an entirely different level of incomprehensible."

Kian dropped the paper stack on the other side of his desk closer to Zachary before leaning back in his chair with a raised brow. Either the younger man was going to have to dictate it out while he rewrote the report or he was going to have to type everything up so he, and their superiors, could read it.
