You give Tamako a big hug and just enjoy the comfort and warmth of her and the bed. You have to extract yourself pretty quickly, best not to get too relaxed. No way you want to go back to sleep at this point. You pat Tamako on the head, and remind yourself to make some time for her later to just relax and get to know how she's feeling. You wonder what day it is, hopefully the weekend? Would you even get one? Is there a Fairy Department of Labor?
You give a brief glance at the shower before deciding you want some coffee first. Before you leave to check if the Commissary is open you check your messages.
===
-Emogen has sent you a recipe for a 'Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte', which you recognize as its' other name, Black Forest Cake. She comments that she got confused at first and was looking up a 'German Chocolate Cake', which to her surprise is not even German.
-Zul sends you the precise time for the curse breaking session, which you make sure to remember. It's still not for a few hours yet though. "After they pass out jobs you can get the ring off. There should be enough time before going on today's assignment." Zul comments.
-Seshat says that you should have the Archive clearance by later today, and also includes a few links to the digital archive which contain the rulesets on 'Cubicles and Coworkers'.
-There is also a message from someone named Swebe that reads, "Could you come by the Workshop later today? I have some questions, and I just want to make sure Hilde isn't telling tall tales."

Coffee first, then answering messages.
Luckily the eatery is open, and even better, the drip coffee is free. As you fill a coffee mug you notice one of the few other patrons. Zul is sat at a table, which is covered in documents and a few coffee cups. She's dispensed with her business suit and is now wearing a lab coat.
As your approach and greet her, you can see heavy, dark green bags under her eyes.
"Good evening." She says, swaying slightly. "I mean, Good morning."
You mention what time it is, and ask if she stayed up all night.
"The spider bot autopsy has been quite enlightening." She says in a tired excitement. "Technically, I was sent up to get some rest."
And yet, she is here.
"Yes, yes... I'll go to bed soon." She says, taking another sip of coffee and checking the time. "You are up a bit early, aren't you?"
