[Why is Auron being sent again? The hell he's going to interrupt Rikku at work. He's done it before--for better and much more valid reasons, like fiend attacks--and still found reason to regret it.

So instead he's going to be an awkward derp and stand around watching her. And try to figure out what volatile substance she's gotten her hands on this time.]

[mercurycrest]

[It's Dark Matter! C:]

Forty-four... Forty-five...

[armor_break]

[Nearly, nearly, has a heart attack. What is Rikku planning to do with all that?? His mind jumps to Dark Matter's explosive nature and tries to imagine what forty-five vials of it would do to a person. Or a fiend. But then he sees the sword at her feet, puts two and two together and sighs with relief. Probably louder than he should have, honestly, considering the fact that he's like. right next to her and she somehow hasn't noticed.]

[mercurycrest]

Forty-six... Forty-seven...

[Rikku writes the number (in Al Bhed) in the dirt and grins up at Auron.]

I heard that, you know.

[arsanimus]

[Don't mind him, silently rolling up behind her in his desk chair with his arms resting on the back. Those vials and the soul in front of him have him interested, but he won't say anything just yet. Instead, just study...]

[mercurycrest]

[Rikku notices him, but she doesn't react lest she lose her count.]

Twenty... Twenty-one...

[arsanimus]

[He's keeping count as well, don't worry.] What is that substance in the containers?

[mercurycrest]

Twenty-two... twenty-three... [Rikku quickly writes the last number (in Al Bhed) in the dirt.] It's called Dark Matter.
