Garrot leans back a bit, bending his arms to hold the back of his head with his hands. See? He's relaxed, he's fine! He wouldn't be relaxing if he wasn't fine, right?

"The point of hooky's to take a break, you can't worry about work. Just delegate to someone!" Sometimes when Garrot goes on vacation, he breaks his phone, buys a new one, and changes the number. His colleagues know to contact his oldest daughter if something goes really wrong. "Hell, maybe once you're world-famous you can bring your people with you and have a huge workplace snowball fight." He starts grinning, eager to bend the rules when possible. "It's like teambuilding or something."

If Zea hasn't gone that far north, she probably hasn't had a snowball fight. Another thing on the list...
