Anouk shook, his hand visibly shaking where they rested upon his office desk. Today was the day he met his new editor as his old one had only just retired. It was a spur of the moment meeting set up by his publisher upon receiving Anouk’s email of a completed book. Oh, how he wished he would have sent it on Monday like a normal person. Now he was going to meet someone in his house, alone.
His mama and daddy had both gone off to a rock festival this weekend on Zerca where his daddy would be performing live for his home planet. He had been invited, of course, but the thought of all those people had him turning white. So he had been left alone under the assumption that no one would be around to bother him.
Stars, he wished daddy was here now.

Hirsch headed to the Arson house, knocking on the large door. His previous boss had told him that the boy was a bit skittish, so he'd have to be careful about what he said and did around him.

The butler opened the door and showed him in.
Anouk actually jumped a bit when the door to his office was knocked upon before being opened, the butler announcing the gentlemen before leaving them alone.
Standing up clumsily, he attempted a greeting even as he flushed red. "Meet to nice you.... um... hi?"

Hirsch smiled at the man. "Hello, I'm Hirsch Craven, I believe that I'm going to be your new editor." he smiled at the gorgeous man. Damn...those Arsons knew how to make a beautiful kid. But Hirsch would keep things professional.

"Uh huh," he mumbles, awkwardly sitting in his chair and ducking his head. "Um... My...St-st..." he gulped and took a deep breath like his daddy always told him to do. "Here's my book," he said finally, slding him the AI chip and quickly snatching his hand back.

Hirsch looked at the boy curiously. "Are you okay?" he asked, cocking his head.

"Mmmhmmm," he said, face white. He really had a problem with people. Anxiety always hounded him.

"Alright, well, just let me load this onto my AI unit and I will hand you your chip right back. When I'm done looking over it, I'll come back and we can go over printing and cover designs you have in mind, alright?" Hirsch said with a smile at the man.

Anouk nodded like a bobble head. He knew he probably looked like a dork but he'd come to terms with his very odd self.

"Okay...so I'll see you in about a week, and we'll meet for lunch. Is that alright?" Hirsch asked.

Anouk nodded again, relieved that the man was leaving so soon. He knew he should ask him questions and make notes on what he would not accept any alterations to but he'd have to do it by email else he make an even bigger ponce of him face.

"Do you have any questions or suggestions for me before I go?" he asked.

"I'm..I'll... Email you?" he asked, clearing his throat as he shifted in his chair.

Hirsch blinked. "Oh, well...alright." he said with a small smile, "Just make sure it's as soon as possible."

He nodded quickly and waved.
