She'd spent the time since leaving the AMC reading and doing her own sort of research, trying to find someone worth following, investigating, and perhaps eventually taking care of. Aigis knew that it wouldn't be easy to work on these things alone, but felt that she could handle it safer than a human could.

The knock on the door caught her completely off guard. Ichigo would have called to say he was coming by, and she didn't think that anyone else had her address. So when she stood up, she let the fingertips on her right hand pull back, ready to shoot at whoever was on the other side if need be.

"Who is there?"

Kuja could not help the cold, sharp laugh that escaped him just then. So cautious. She would be a fun one to bring into the group.

"I believe we spoke over the phone, Miss Aigis. Or that could have been a mere flight of my imagination. If you are still interested in speaking, I think it would be easier if your door was not between us."

She recognized the voice, but it did nothing to reassure her that this man was no threat. Aigis kept her hand ready as she pulled the door open, blue eyes quickly assessing the odd-looking man on the other side.

"I would prefer it if you didn't speak in circles. Tell me what your offer is so I can have time to consider it." His speech patterns grated on her nerves, made her think of old enemies.

Kuja's mouth stretched into an amused grin as he made to move past her into the apartment beyond the door. A simple test really- he had to see how good Aigis' sense of survival and self protection were, of course. He would naturally still be considered a possible threat, in which case she would react accordingly if she was indeed right for the job.

"Do you not like circles, Miss Aigis? A pity, to hate such an eternity- a loop with no beginning and no end. Though I suppose that is very different from my offer, seeing it is finite in it's own origins and the means it wishes to reach. However, I am disinclined to keep from circles until I see a point in speaking in lines." Oh and such a well crafted speech, now lets just see if she can see the point to it. The point that Kuja was testing her.
