[Frowns as he hears the giggle. Now that isn't- Huh. You don't say.]
Where is Vincent?
[First words from his mouth, and they are delivered bluntly. Yet he is thinking as he speaks and checks himself, voice softening but still cooled until he can be sure]
Or don't worry, he's right here next to me. Yes, this is who you think it is.
[Despite the coolness in his voice, she still sounds just as chipper as she did when he picked up the phone. You can almost hear that she's still smiling.]
[A pause. He had not meant to be so obvious. His voice warms a little further]
Pardon my rudeness, I just wasn't expecting such.
[As he listens to her light breezy tones Reeve is struck at the difference between her and... well, Shalua specifically. And thinking of Shalua leads him momentarily to think of Kira and... dammit Reeve, focus.]
...What can I do for you?
[He of course has an idea but best to remain polite and open in the words used.]
No, it's quite all right. I figured it would be easier to call you from Vincent's phone seeing as he was just talking to me. He mentioned that you were asking if I would be interested in working for the WRO.
Oh is that so? [chuckles lightly] Well, at least his cell is getting some use. And you can pass that message on, if you wish... just remember to use your best chiding voice if you do.
[chuckle slowly fades out into a nod at the other end of the line] Yes, that is correct. Sci-Div has a number of small teams, but there are... certain gaps that have arisen where an experienced scientist such as yourself would prove very beneficial. Is this something you would be interested in?
[And that's just what she does. She can be heard away from the phone telling Vincent, in her best scolding voice, the following: "At least your cell is getting some use now with me using it, Vincent Valentine!" before she returns to speak to Reeve.] I hope that was adequate!
Mm, it is. I was excited when Vincent mentioned it to me! I would very much like that!
[Brings his free hand to his lips in order to stifle his response (however mild he made it) from being heard. By Odin, what he wouldn't give to see Vincent's non?-reaction to that. Such a pity he didn't sequester Cait Sith with the gunman.] ...Quite. [His voice is amused before a small cough to clear his throat is heard]
Excellent. There are a few things to discuss, but if you would like to come to HQ and then we can run through the finer details your appointment. When you are ready, of course.
[She laughs a little, before turning back to being the professional she probably should be.] All right. I'm ready at any time, really. I'll have Vincent bring me there soon.
Well, well Leviathan must have blessed me. How are you, Vincent?

Nope! Sorry, this isn't Vincent!
