Tap.
Tap tap tap.
Tap tap. Tap tap tap. Taptap. Ta-ta-ta-tap ta-tap.

This is the sound of Cade's quill nib against the parchment he's trying to write on, or was trying, before he forgot what he was going to say and started doing this instead. Both his knees are bouncing and he looks like he's about to erupt out of his chair, but is forcing himself to miserably sit there and stare at his work because he knows that's what he should be doing.
He can't help the noise. But it sure is there.

Reaper tries to stop bounce his leg, causing only a momentary pause after which it starts back up again.

"It might be?" Reaper frowns slightly in thought, tapping his quill on the paper. "I thought I may have finally acclimatized to winter here."

"...I..." Cade stammers again, and, going to the window, presses his hands on the sill. He holds himself still there for a moment, then straightens again, pushing his hair out of his face in a motion that nearly becomes compulsive as he does it several times more.
"I need... I should.... I need to go outside." He's aware that he's being rude, but the desire to leave has become so overwhelming that he's not sure how much longer he can fight it.

Myr's enough experience with Cade by now to recognize what passes as "rude" with the former templar. Given his own time in the office is often spotty and interrupted by spontaneous naps, it's hardly something he can criticize. "Go ahead." The words are gentle enough. "Take the time you need--serah Reyes and I can finish up here."

It occurs to him to wonder, though, if that's...actually the case, and he's quick to add, "Unless you're coming down with cabin fever as well, serah Reyes. In which case we might as well make it a field trip." Wherein no work whatsoever will get done but at least he can keep a lack-of-an-eye on the pair of them if it goes from fidgeting to anything stranger.
