<\/span><\/p>\n Nico glanced over at Thomas, who was acting like the small chichie plaque was not on his desk.\u00a0 “Are we going to talk about it?<\/span><\/p>\n “No.”\u00a0 Thomas set down the tray, moving the coffee, muffin and mug of blood.<\/span><\/p>\n “Where did it come from?”\u00a0 He couldn’t figure out which family member would not just buy it, but set it up in Nick’s office.<\/span><\/p>\n Thomas sighed. “Sadly, I haven’t figured it out yet.”<\/span><\/p>\n He sat back in his chair studying it for a few moments.\u00a0 “Speed and Tony haven’t been in my office, at least not that I know of.\u00a0 Warrick, well I can see him doing this.\u00a0 Though since John and Harold visit more, I wouldn’t put past either of them.\u00a0 Well Harold would get John to do it for him.”<\/span><\/p>\n “How do you know I didn’t do it.”<\/span><\/p>\n “Did you?”\u00a0 Nico glanced at one of his oldest friends.\u00a0 “Did Arthur put you up to it, this could be revenge for the library cat plaque I sent.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Thomas chuckled.\u00a0 “Speaking of ugly knick knacks, have you annoyed Mr. Benedict lately?”<\/span><\/p>\n “No, but maybe I should.”\u00a0 He crossed his arms staring at the plaque only to snort when one of the Budgie snuck into his office and settled on it.\u00a0 \u00a0He wasn’t surprised when there was two cameras that took a picture.\u00a0 “JARVIS?”<\/span><\/p>\n “Yes sir.”<\/span><\/p>\n “You know exactly who did this, you see everything Thomas doesn’t which isn’t a lot.”\u00a0 Nico took his coffee, and focused back on his computer.\u00a0 The plaque was growing on him, might as well keep it.<\/span><\/p>\n “It was Colonel Sheppard.”<\/span><\/p>\n “My French kid?”\u00a0 Nico smiled, as he grabbed his phone and sent Shep the picture.\u00a0 A few seconds he got a smiling emoji.\u00a0 He took a moment, then sent out a lunch invitation it had been a while since the two had actually sat down and talked.\u00a0 \u00a0He got a thumbs up in reply.<\/span><\/p>\n “So we’re keeping it?”\u00a0 Thomas adjusted the plaque slightly so it would show more to the room.<\/span><\/p>\n “Yes.\u00a0 After all it’s pretty accurate.”<\/span><\/p>\n “Indeed, sir.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With this comes a Sylum Snippet!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[942,975,66],"tags":[825,849],"class_list":["post-20071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-national-day","category-snippets","category-sylum-stories","tag-national-day","tag-sylum-snippets"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2Da1M-5dJ","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":15870,"url":"https:\/\/www.sylumclan.com\/sylumblog\/national-landline-day\/","url_meta":{"origin":20071,"position":0},"title":"National Landline Day","author":"Nicolaus Meridius","date":"March 10, 2020","format":false,"excerpt":"Okay who here still uses a landline?\u00a0 Or remember the days of getting the extra long cord so can talk in your bedroom, and your parents couldn't hear?
