X slips in through the front door, laptop in hand. After a brief stop at Bar to check for messages and to place an order for dinner, she settles down at a corner table.

After eating, she cracks open the laptop and gets to work.

Blueprints are not confusing, except when they contain multiple contradictions within one document.

Hmm.

Comments

"Hello," said Rem from the rafter above the table.

[cutting_edgex23]

X looks up, flicking her laptop closed as she does so.

"Hello."

Beat.

"You have been okay?"

[shinigami_rem]

"Yes, and you?" asked Rem. There was something about this girl that was soothing to the death god. Maybe it was the fact that she didn't expect her to talk.

[cutting_edgex23]

"Yes," X says.

Carefully.

"I have not been busy."

Comparatively, at least.

[shinigami_rem]

"I am glad," said Rem swinging down from the rafter like a huge boney brachiator.

[cutting_edgex23]

"It is not always bad when things are quiet," X agrees.

"You have not left?"

[shinigami_rem]

"No," she said.

[cutting_edgex23]

"Oh," X says.

"Okay."

[shinigami_rem]

"I see you have work."

Smile.

"I hope it suits you."

[cutting_edgex23]

"Mission planning," X offers.

"I am good at it."

Better at the execution part, but. Well.

That is probably not a surprise.

[shinigami_rem]

She's a Shinigami, not much surprises her anymore.

"Mmm," was the apoving response.
