Stella has just left the office when she spotted Ursula stepping out of a car.

Yorick's assistant, Orion, was at the ready, holding the door open for her as she handed him a few shopping bags.-

Orion, ever respectful, took the bags, "Thank you, Ms. Larkin."

Ursula offered a soft nod in acknowledgment and turned, her gaze meeting Stella's across the distance.
