Kitty strolls past her secretary's desk as she heads into her office. "Trae, get ahold of Kuori and have her come to my office here when she gets a chance" I have something important I want to discuss with her."
Traeline gives her aunt an incredulous stare, sighs, and then digs out a phone to call the warehouses. "Yeah Bert' When you see Kuori, send her to the House. What do you mean who' Kuori! The giant chick with the boobs who will brain you with a mace. ....No. Kitty doesn't use a mace. Just send her, alright?" Then she promptly slaps the phone on the desk. "Idiots..."
Scratching her head, Kuori didn't know what to expect when Kitty called her to the office. Certainly a place she hadn't been more than a handful of times. Moving towards the building, she paused near a polished window and smoothed her work clothes into something a bit presentable. Large hands smooth down her leggings, altered to be loose around the thighs before tightening up around her knees where they are tucked into sturdy leather boots. Instead of her normal bustier, she wears a sturdy woolen tunic that remains a size too small for her build. "Have to do" she murmurs in her deep voice before moving into the offices, stopping at Traeline's desk. "I am desired?"
Traeline looked up at the giantess, then waves her on. "Yeah, she's expecting you. Just go in. Oh wait." She pulls a tennis ball from her desk drawer and bounces it off the door, then counts to ten on her fingers. Then she grins at Kuori. "Ok, *now* go in. Sometimes I hear weird noises in there and it's best to give her warning first." The teen blithely informed her as she resumed filing her nails.
Knotting her brow together at the odd statement the goliathess makes her way past the desk and into Kitty's office. Her eyes pan around the room uncertainly before falling upon the woman who had been nice enough to hire her more than a year ago. "You wanted me?" once more her voice booms even in a soft tone.
Kitty sat at her desk, booted feet propped up on a corner of the desk while she tapped at a datapad device with a stylus. She looked up at the sound of Kuori's voice and grins before pointing at a very large and extra sturdy chair. "Have a seat. Don't worry about the chair. I had it built specifically to withstand the likes of you and Horam." She does a couple more taps on the datapad and sets it aside, dropping her feet to the ground so she can lean forward over the desk slightly. "I have some very good news for you."
Before taking a seat, she lifts on her pant legs like some men do as her long legs slowly cross one over the other at the ankles. A few more adjustments to her garments are made before looking at Kitty curiously with an arched brow. "What news you have for Kuori?"
Kitty lifted the stylus to her chin, tapping it a couple times. "Well, I've been impressed with your work this past year. The warehouses seem to have fewer problems when you're on duty. I've caught other guys sleeping or drinking on the job. Things come up stolen. However, on your shift, after a few would-be thieves got themselves brained, it seems they prefer to avoid you. I like this. This is good for business. So, I think you're due for a promotion."
"Pro-motion?" The goliathess doesn't quite comprehend her meaning just yet as she sits up a little higher in the chair to lean forward towards Kitty.
Her tail flipped idly as Kitty contemplated the best way to explain. She tugs out a piece of paper and starts to draw stick figures. Each stick figure had a name of one of Kuori's coworkers from the warehouse. Above that line of stick figures, she drew a stick figure and wrote the name of the guy who had been Kitty's Head of Security for the warehouses. Bert. She hated that man. Not just because of his name. He was lazy and stupid. She then crossed out Bert's name with a single line and wrote Kuori's name instead next to it. She then offered the paper over to see if that would help the goliathess understand the meaning.
"New job?" It was the best she could do given the circumstances. Her mastery of common had grown in the time she worked for Kitty, but comprehension remained an issue that only improved with each day. Eyes look over the piece of paper in her hands then up at Kitty.
"Better job." Kitty clarified with a smile. "More money and you give orders, not take orders from Bert."
Slowly tilts her head to the side at that. "Bert avoid me..." after she had brained him for an unwanted advance but that was beside the point. "Kuori no know how give orders..." Her breathing slowly increases as though having a fit of anxiety. If she doenst calm down there will be a casualty, probably her tunic as her chest swells and subsides like a rising tide.
Kitty shook her head and put out a hand with fingers splayed. "Calm down. I will teach you. I will teach you how to be better than Bert. Ok?"
Her powerful hands gripped the arms of the chair tight enough she thought she heard cracking before Kitty said she would teach her. Closing her eyes, Kuori tries to calm her breaths and puts her head back against the top of the chair doing a slow count backwards from one hundred. "Okay...Kuori do that."
When the arms of the chairs did that faint cracking noise, Kitty glanced to them. Metal. The next chair would have to be a metal frame....a really thick titanium. Right. Then her eyes lifted back to Kuori's face. "Just think of it as teaching those idiots how you do such a good job. Okay?" Nodding carefully she opens her eyes to look at Kitty. "Okay" Another soft breath before she composes herself, then perhaps the expected questions. "What Kuori need do?"
"Today, you do your job as you have always done it." She leans back in her chair. "Tomorrow I will meet you at the warehouses and show you what you'll be doing." She still had to fire Bert. She was really going to enjoy that.
Another nod, Kuori remained in her seat waiting to be dismissed. "Want anything while Kuori here?" SHe really was bad at these things and she only saw Kitty at work, or on random trips to the Inn. Certainly, she knew how strong her boss was, but right now, her brain was still reeling from the news.
She gave her a soft chuckle and shook her head at the large woman's eagerness to please. "No, you can go back to work. Or would you prefer to take the day off so you can prepare yourself for tomorrow?"
"No. Me work. Keep me out of trouble." Nodding again, she pushes to her feet trying not to feel like the world suddenly was a daze. "Thank you." Really, it was the only thing she could bring herself to say in that moment while she left the office not noticing the slight tear down the back of her tunic.
She glanced up and cleared her throat. "You may want to change clothes before you get to work. You have a rip in the back of that one." Then she poked at her datapad to harass Trae in the front. "Traeline, could you call Bert and tell him to come to my office later this evening? I have some....bad news for him."
Blinking she looked to Kitty then tried to twist around and look at the tear before throwing her hands up in exasperation, hitting the ceiling. "Fourth this week! Ugh.Never any in my size." With a sigh, she makes her exit.
