Tends to a minor issue?

Detectives often rely on context and wordplay to crack a good mystery, and the crossword clue ‘Tends to a minor issue?‘ had plenty to work with. At first, I considered minor issues that one might tend to, such as a scrape or a headache. But the question mark at the end of the clue hinted at a double meaning. ‘SITS‘ immediately sprang to mind – it fits the definition of tending to something minor, but also sounds like ‘seats‘, which can refer to minor issues such as a loose screw or an uneven table leg. My suspicions were confirmed when I considered the common phrase ‘take a seat‘, often used to tell someone to settle down or relax. ‘Tends to a minor issue?‘ could be read as ‘takes care of a minor issue‘, but also as ‘takes a seat‘, leading me to the solution: SITS. Another case solved!
