*sharpening her scalpel* No good dull...

~~future!Au~~

...

[Working hard as usual, I see.]

*inspects the blade* [Of course, sir. Why wouldn't I be?]

*mildly* [No particular reason, Honey bee. Merely wondering.

Your last report was a few minutes late. Having trouble, were you?]

[A bit. Had a runner and a dull blade. Took care of it as fast as I could though.]

[Hmm.] *holds out hand* [Let me see that blade. You need to take better care of your belongings. Do you understand me?]

*hands it to him* [Yes, sir. I guess it slipped my mind this time. It won't happen again.]

*examines the scalpel before tossing it aside* [See that you take more care with it next time, Honeybee. Or you may find yourself in rotation sans it. I hope I make the matter perfectly clear?]

*stands, not making a move for the scalpel* [Like crystal, sir.]

[Excellent.] *nods head at scalpel* [Retrieve that. I have one more case for you.]

*bends down and swipes it off the ground* [What kind of case, sir?]

*smiles beneath his helm* [The tricky kind. Evans, Patrick. He evaded Siren two days ago. Heart, eyes, and tendons. Your assignment is to locate him and retrieve GeneCo's property.]

[Good hunting, Honey.]

*nods* [It will be taken care of, sir.] *picks up her bag and turns to leave*

*looks up* [Anyone there?]

...It's me. I'm sorry. Make like I'm not here. Just... shadowing.

[It's fine, Bug. No harm done.] *brushes off her scalpel*

Thank you, ma'am. I won't be a bother - only taking notes.

*puts the scalpel back in her bag* [How much longer do you think you will be shadowing?]

I keep messing up in training, so - so I don't even know.

*sighs as she picks up her bag* [In time, dear. It's not something that can be done overnight.]

I understand that, ma'am. Just wish Hellhound did.

*shakes her head* [Hellhound is just a bastard to begin with.]

[It depends how long you want to draw it out] *laughs from his spot nearby*

*rolls her eyes from under her mask* [You know that's not my style, Jackal. I want it to be as quick and clean as possible.]

[Well if you ever need a change, Honey.]

[We can't all be jackels.]

[No we can't, but it's so much fucking fun!] *laughs*
