The owl took the paper and brought it up closer to inspect the numbers more carefully as he listened to what Anoushka was saying. What did look unusual? He took his time and looked over every spot that had something written or filled in until he spotted what was the only thing out of the ordinary.
"The rank is stated as a foot soldier, but the pay is listed as near to a ranking member." He stated carefully, after he decided it was the only thing that could be wrong with it. A mistake or something more, perhaps? It was, quite literally, a problem of a decimal point--someone could have put it in the wrong place, or someone could be trying to cheat the Court out of some money for a friend.
Pascha returned the paper to the King, then waited to see if he'd answered correctly.

Anoushka refrained from sighing impatiently as he looked over the paper. He was doing what he asked her to and being thorough. Either that or he had no idea what he was doing and was wasting her time. In that case, she would just carry him out by his scruff in her mouth if she had to.
But no, that was the correct answer. She nodded her head and took the paper back, eyes immediately finding the line in question. She'd been considering it for quite a few minutes in conjunction with past records. "Correct. This has apparently been going on for von and a half years, vhich annoys me to no end. I'm just glad the voman bothered to look at it more closely this time and bring it to my attention." This was a matter that would take quite a bit of time and concentration and digging, especially considering the nature of the parties involved.
In the meantime, though...
"Congratulations, bird. You have proven yourself capable of performing simple papervork duties. Prepare to be an office slave for several hours." And she would do it to him every single time he came to her bored. He wanted something to do? Fine. She could bog him down with paperwork. Then she wouldn't have to suffer alone. Misery loves company, except that she didn't, because he was a nosy avian.
((...one more from you and I honestly think this one's done. XD))

Pascha was pleased that he managed to give her the right answer. Who knew what would have happened if he hadn't? Sometimes he wondered if Anoushka kept toothpicks in her desk, for all the people she disliked and ate for a snack..
The owl almost replied with a bright, 'Thank you!' but remembered who he was with and restrained himself to a simple nod. No need to get overexcited, now, since all it meant was he was doing paperwork for the next several hours.. or in her words, an office slave.
Joy of all joys. At least he had something to do while Aderlass was gone, though Anoushka was hardly good company. She wasn't likely to talk to him unless he was doing something annoying and she was going to gripe at him, and he was hardly inclined to try to start a conversation--he liked his feathers were they were, 'kthanks.
So he sat down and began rifling through the giant stack of paperwork she plopped on his lap.
[[Done!]]
