It seems like there was another influx of residents. Must be a quota to fill.

...And it's a shame we have the normal chaos to welcome them. Hostages are hardly something to joke about.

Graham. I was called off duty for two days. Explain.

[embracingly]

From what I could tell, you were just given a vacation as a reward, but I can ask Ryuuzaki.

Feeling restless?

[citrinitas_668]

A little... I don't like not knowing what is going on while I'm gone.

[embracingly]

...If it's really bothering you, you can have a shift in my division today. We never seem to be out of work to do.

[citrinitas_668]

I..

Wouldn't that be ignoring orders?

[embracingly]

Do I seem like the type to follow orders? I'd be willing to shoulder whatever punishment this might land us if you are.

[citrinitas_668]

I hope you realize that does not help your journey to become a decent man. Still a duck, but at least a duck I can appreciate.

[embracingly]

Alas, you've seen through my ulterior motive. But debilitating comments aside, I expect good work from you.

[citrinitas_668]

You can have your position back as soon as I'm allowed to go back to mine. Don't be surprised if they want to keep me as your replacement, though.

[embracingly]

My position? I meant a job in Tactical, but... why not. Should be interesting. Don't outshine me too much, Citrine.

[citrinitas_668]

...

I didn't think you would 'fall' for that. You would let me replace you?

[embracingly]

I didn't think you were one to joke. And I can't let you to take over completely, but I'm all for working together until you get your position back. I trust you.

[citrinitas_668]

Boredom can bring out many new facets in people. Trust? I'm flattered. But at the same time, are you sure it's such a good idea to trust so easily? I might just eliminate you to take your position for good.

[embracingly]

If you do a better job than I do, then who knows? Though you bring up a good point. It'd be nice to have someone ready to take over if something ever happened to me.

what she's saying is "gd it don't say something like 'if something happens to me'"

[citrinitas_668]

I'm sure we can all manage without an actual replacement for the few days you would be gone. Remember, death is temporary.

<3 you too, Citrine

[embracingly]

I don't leave loose ends. I'd want someone I can rely on for those three days.
