Hojo made a strange sound as he pondered, blearily, whether it would be worth it to actually get up or not. Fixing up Cloud had taken more time than he'd originally assumed and by the time he'd actually gotten to sleep the sky was grey with dawn, though there were no windows in the lab so he didn't know the exact time. What it amounted to was him waking up more exhausted than he'd been the 'night' before.

Deciding after a few seconds that it would probably be a better idea to comply, Hojo felt around on the floor for his glasses, which he'd dropped there without paying much attention. He located them after another couple seconds of fumbling and stood, wavering a little bit as his blood adjusted to his new center of gravity and made colored spots dance in his vision. Once he could see again he walked over to the door and answered it as he pushed his glasses on. He'd only bothered removing his shoes and shirt before sleeping anyway, so he was decent and there was no need to bother finding anything else. He wasn't even sure if he was awake enough to get dressed properly.

At the sight of his assistant, Ansem had to resist the urge to merely walk away shaking his head.

Saying he looked like Death warmed over would have been a kindness.

What had the man been doing all night?
...
On second thought, he thought not knowing was preferable.

Ansem despised that he had been reduced to this: two servants only, and one of them practically useless.

Because he had no choice, he simply gave the orders as if Mr. Hojo looked perfectly capable of performing them.

"There is a mercenary in the city who I wish to hire. He will be arriving at the city gates some time this morning."

Ansem cast a disapproving look at the scientist's rumpled state. "I suggest you dress so that you will be ready to escort him here."
