...except it's not so normal now, is it?
With the overall plan out, Nagesh is certainly much less tense than he was during it, not that he was too tight-strung during it, either. With Time and Chronos together, he's presumably been dismissed to...well, do other productive things, presumably, not to vacation.
He's mostly strolling around, really, as if taking a tour of the Clocktower for the first time, but that's obviously false to anyone who knows him. He's been around a lot of times. Besides, the time he takes at every room is incredibly short. Instead, it seems he's just taking the time to check in with each mage, chat with them a bit, and maybe ease their nerves.

Yvonne had left the library a while ago, but she hadn't gone to her room to rest. Huh.
So, Nagesh can find her standing straight and immobile in the corner of a hall in one of the upper floors. She's just there with her back to the direction from which he's coming. She also doesn't seem to hear him approach.
Offline
Nagesh, who perceives Yvonne to be in some sort of daze or just some sort of strange self-enforced time-out, stops a good distance away from his comrade while approaching.
Offline
She's half-asleep while standing up or something, judging by the way her stance tips to the side slightly...
Offline
Well, at that, Nagesh makes sure to approach quicker. "Yvonne?" he questions with a sense of urgency.
Offline
"oh huh?" Yvonne righted herself almost immediately and turned to look at Nagesh, her usual half-tired look on her face. She smiled.
Offline
Nagesh seems relieved he doesn't need to rush over and try to stop her from falling. "You can rest easy for now," he says. "It's probably for the better, in fact, for both you and all of us."
Offline
"oh, I'm not sure resting is the best thing I could do now," she said, immediately thinking of her sleeping habits. Wonder if Nagesh is already used to seeing her half-tired face.
Offline
"Why not?" he asks, trying not to sound pressuring or demanding or anything like that.
Offline
She waved her hand around. "I always rest,,,"
Offline
"That's what I heard," Nagesh says with a chuckle. Awfully nonchalant he is right now. "Sleep is beneficial for you. It's good to..." he pauses to recall the saying, "...recharge your batteries."
Offline
"ah, trust me, my 'batteries' are completely overcharged," Yvonne half-joked.
((Here she is trying to stay awake but interpreting Nagesh's words as that he wants her to sleep XD))
Offline
"Well, I daresay it didn't look too much like it, but I digress," Nagesh says with a small smile.
Offline
"honestly, you're the only person who has approved of my sleeping so much. and I mean like, not that you didn't mind, but..." she wasved a hand around, trying to say something she wasn't sure of how to word. "you know."

"Ah, yes, the others do really make up a the-early-bird-gets-the-worm sort of vibe," Nagesh evaluates jokingly. "Well, I see you get your work done, and every person has different sleep needs, so who am I to judge?"
Offline
"sometimes I do a little extra if I don't fall asleep at the job," she remarked with a wink of her glittering eye.

"Ah, that's good. More productivity. See? It's not really a problem from what I can tell, then," Nagesh says, waving his hand to the side and back minusculely. "I suppose just to make sure you make up for what you miss out on when you fall asleep," he adds with a glitter in his eyes.
Offline
She shrugged. "yeah, the usual tip, but sometimes I skip on certain events,,, like that rivalry thing between jenny and lianhuan. dunno how it even began."
Offline
"Well, since you're not the human relations manager...or just the relations manager in general, I suppose...I think you're fine leaving that alone," Nagesh says, his eyes still twinkling.
Offline
"yeah, that's fine by me," said she, lifting up her hands slightly. "I just think it's curious."
Offline
"I have to agree," he replies. "Say, when did it start?"
Offline
Another shrug. "can't remember."
Offline
Nagesh chuckles. "It's been a long time, huh."
Offline
"it really has, and yet I see nothing wrong with ice cream,"
Offline
"I heard its taste is nice at least," he offers.
Wonder how ballistic Lianhuan would go if he knew Nagesh has never eaten ice cream before.
In fact, the younger magic user has probably asked before. Wonder how Nagesh evaded answering.
Offline
((Nagesh has The Skillz))
"it's a pretty good treat," Yvonne agreed.
Offline
"I look forward to when one of you treats me to it, then," Nagesh jokes.
Offline
"ask lianhuan; it's nearly all he talks about,"
Offline
(Lianhuan begs to differ)
"I'll do that around his bedtime, if I'm still on a shift then," Nagesh says thoughtfully.
Offline
((Not like Yvonne's awake to hear him talk much anyways xD))
"you've probably talked to him already, so you must know he's pretty nice. always cheerful."
