Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Monday

That had been yet another reasonably uneventful weekend. Cable had taken up counting them, just in case there was some kind of a pattern to the disturbances.

Right now, though, he had no concern for disturbances. He had a baby on one arm, and a piece of machinery in the other, attached to his metal arm by wire. The desk was covered in equal parts plush animals and electronics, and really, as far as working days went, this really could be worse.

He's here, he's busy, but he's available.

Mod your meditation, or ask Cable for help.

Accessible only with Cable's permission.

*flops* Around after a wee nap.

Worf nodded to Cable in greeting as he entered the store.

"Good day," he said. "I assume that the meditation room is available as always."

After chatting with Cable, Worf began his usual routine.

Cable looked up from his little project, offering Worf the customer service smile. "It is," he said, easily, "Good morning, Worf."

Lana showed up, as promised, to apologize to cable.

He'd been tackling something with a screwdriver and an intent expression-- upon Lana's entrance, Cable offered a, "Can I help you?" and a look, lowering the tool incrementally.

Worf struggled for a moment as he realized that there was probably a need for some idle chat.

"How is your offspring this morning?" he asked after an awkward pause or two.

Idle chat. Just what Cable was good at. "She's eating and breathing," he provided, anyway, because, okay, the baby he could talk about. "Her coordination seems to be getting a lot better. We're good."

He supposed it was probably not a good idea to start talking about the new mobile he'd-- yeah. "She almost held a spoon this morning." A very small one, but still.

Worf just kind of stood there trying to hold back a pained expression.

"That is... good. Good progress for someone so young," he said briskly yet still awkwardly. "I hope tomorrow she fully grasps the utensil."

"Thank you," he said, leaning back a little. "You were teaching some of the locals in my store last week."

"Students," Worf said with a nod and a tilt of his head. "Is that a problem? They both expressed interest. If you'd prefer I go elsewhere I can find another suitable environment."

"I was wondering more if you'd like to make it a regular thing," Cable replied, ignoring any questions. "It might be educational."

Worf pondered on that for a second and nodded. "I would be honored to do so."

Good. He returned Worf's nod. "How are your Mondays, Worf?"

"My Mondays are completely free other than my usual daily training sessions," Worf replied. "Do you wish me to teach several sessions?"

"I'm offering you a job," he said, simply. "Mondays. Opening the store, monitoring customers, and teaching sessions to whoever shows interest."

Worf nodded. "That would be acceptable. When should I begin?"

"Come in for training next week," Cable replied. "You start in two."

"Thank you sir," Worf replied. "I will do my best to serve you honorably."

"I'm counting on it," Cable said, vaguely, and offered Worf a nod of dismissal.

Worf nodded and entered the meditation room to start and complete his routine.

"Hi, Mr, um... Cable," Lana said a bit nervously. It occured to her now that she should have asked Ino what exactly she was supposed to call him. "I wanted to apologize for taking Ino away from her work on Wednesday. I just thought maybe she could use a little time... away. From everything. But I probably shouldn't have encouraged her to leave work early. I'm very sorry."

He regarded her steadily throughout her speech, filing away the information about Ino's state of mind in case he'd need it. "Apology accepted," Cable said, finally, considered it for another moment-- "Although I can't fault your intentions, I'd appreciate it if it doesn't happen again." He didn't make it sound like an option.

"No, Sir," Lana said promptly. "We'll be sure to wait till she's done with work next time. And thank you."

He frowned at her for a moment, but said nothing to explain it. Instead, Cable continued, "She and I will talk about this." and left it at that.

She nodded again and made her exit as quickly as she could.
