But Sovereign didn’t have much time to linger on that thought as an unfamiliar Gemini Agent emerged with guns drawn. If it hadn’t been for the presence of Cerberus with her, Sovereign may have thought she had been linked to Oros. [h1][/h1] Pulling her arm free from around the shoulder of Noble Spark, she turned her attention towards Mika. A faint glimmer in her golden eyes as she kept her gaze locked on her for a wordless moment. Having heard her question and even the unique way she had pronounced her name. Without a second thought, she marched right over to Mika and leaned her head in close to her, tilting aside as she did so. Golden eyes widened with a fiery intensity behind them. [h1][/h1] [color=fff200]“What did you say just now?.......”[/color] Her voice quiet, her expression and emotions difficult to read with the mask hiding most of her face. An aura of sternness and coldness radiating from her. Letting her words hang in the air with utter silence. [h1][/h1] Her golden eyes lit up with a flicker behind them, breaking the silence with a laugh. [color=fff200]“I knew you would warm up to me eventually, you already came up with a nickname for me, that is a sign of endearment don’cha know Puddy!”[/color] Quickly wrapping her arms around Cerberus and bringing her in for what was likely a very unwilling embrace. [h1][/h1] She didn’t hold it for long, before pulling away with a final pat on each of Mika’s shoulders. Bringing her right hand back to her face, index finger up and resting against her cheek. Eyes shifting up towards the upper right as she pondered what to do. [h1][/h1] [color=fff200]“Ya’know….she never did mention a specific place, though I figure she is already aware of our arrival so that should solve itself, but we need to take care of something far more important first Puddy….I owe you something in return”[/color] Grabbing the hat from atop her head, she spun it around her left index finger. Letting it fly off and land atop Mika’s head. She held up her hands forming a box with her index fingers and thumbs like a picture frame, leaning back as closed her left eye.[color=fff200] “Not bad, not bad….a hat suits you pretty well Puddy, not only that but that hat is a limited edition one, so it does have some value…now before you ask, if you want this fine coat of mine, you are going to have to work way harder”[/color] Placing her hands on her hips as she took a good look around. [h1][/h1] [color=fff200]“Now…as for Oros, you need not worry about her Puddy, I may be greedy, but I do still value things that aren’t just monetary in nature, like your new form of endearment towards me, so you have earned some currency in that department, so I’ll do whatever I can to ensure your safety so that you can return home and sleep away with those little sweet dreams of yours”[/color] Even with most of her face hidden, it was obvious that she had a big ole grin plastered across her face. Even with Oro’s expected arrival, Sovereign didn’t feel any anxiety or stress about the situation. She felt anticipation about what Oros would do next, what she wanted from Mika, what she could potentially give to Sovereign. So many unknown possibilities, so little time.
