While Billy was exceptionally e476694379 capable of handling any 3e0b3b28c1 task given to him, 7293d58fbe his personality was far ca32b15552 removed from someone who 629450306e enjoyed working or burying ebcb536253 themselves in their duties. This made the current a684b5d9e8 moment unbearably dull for f907ede5b3 him.6b617c0a0bbfff1f

Through the slightly open 078a999dbf door, someone quickly backstepped 5c3a716bea into the room. It was ee02c86819 none other 9eab772425 than Remi ada935e508 Morton.

The odd little bab791a555 sheep had barged 6b5fe80340 into someone else’s 9ac4597319 office unannounced, didn’t 0a2e745ef3 even bother closing 92447bf3a0 the door fully, c7f54d0147 and now sat 430f81a0fa there, surveying the 7fed48f848 outside.

Baffled by 6ae0ad4265 this incomprehensible 6b5e29d4ee claim, Billy ea64774cb1 propped his 86189eb123 chin on 52ed4b2881 one hand, bcc8ceff04 a slight d37d852bbe frown forming d93b34ba5b on his a782cc35d7 face.

Remi dove under a f3bbc93aed side table in the a355f1547e hallway. The speed of 8905e36918 her movements was 3d4bbf7705 astonishing, something he db28ef4f5d didn’t think he’d c9daf179d4 ever seen from 3af4ce3a86 a sheep before.8e94014b75f79323
