When a certain someone called him young Frankenstein out fo the blue, Fumio let out a long sigh, before he turned towards the owner of the voice, with a completely unamused expression on his face. 

[color=DarkKhaki]"Calling your elders young won't get you any bonus points with me, Mr. Dorvain and neither will do flattery. Still, I'm sure you didn't simply make the detour to the teacher's lounge, to try and get on my good side first thing in the morning, so would you care to join me for a cup of freshly made coffee, while we discuss your problem? Is someone hitting on one of your lovers again perhaps? Or has the local police finally come to the conclusion that you must be a contract killer, with the way you dress and all that? You foreigners should really be more careful..."[/color]

He kicked the chair across from him, so that it slid away from the table and gestured to the Dorvain to take a seat. Two beeps indicated that the coffee was ready too, and Fumio got up and snatched the can before anyone else could take it. Back at the table he filled his cup to the brim, before he sat down again and started to take sips from it, without adding any milk or sugar.

[color=DarkKhaki]"Ahhhh, nothing gets your gears going after a night of hard work like a good cup of black coffee, I tell you. Well, you youngsters only drink those energy drinks anyways, so I guess you wouldn't..."[/color]

Before he could continue with his banter, a beautiful and surprisingly fast blue bird flew through one of the open windows in the room and landed on his shoulder. However, the fact that an animal that most likely wasn't a scavenger dared to come close to him was not nearly as intriguing as the golden cloth package that it had dropped into his lap. That was probably Caster's doing and while he was grateful that his Servant was already sending him gifts, Fumio silently cursed him for bringing him into such a situation. After noisily clearing his throat, he turned to Charles with a wide grin and started to pet the bird while trying to come up with a good explanation.

[color=DarkKhaki]"Ha....haha.....you don't have your own bento bird, now do you Mr. Donavan? My...niece brought him with her while she's staying with me and I must say, it is quite a useful animal. Aaaaaanyway, I have to go and give it some water, so as sad as it may be, you'll have to find someone else to give you good advice. I'll see you later at some point."[/color]

With this flawless excuse in place, Fumio quickly got up and left the room in a hurry, with the bird still glued to his shoulder, playing with his hair in the meantime. He rushed back to his van and jumped inside where he, now safe from prying eyes, opened the golden package. The items it contained were definitely powerful, but while he put the ring on his finger immediately and put the seals in his pockets, he wasn't quite sure what the last one was good for.


[i][color=DarkKhaki]'I got your surprise package Caster. Next time, please refrain from sending stuff directly to my workplace with any kind of familiar. Now, what are those things doing exactly?'[/color][/i]
