Syrus had entered the room and caught glimpses of a camera network that was very sophisticated. Images and screens everywhere. Syrus only could guess what was in the filing cabinets. Corvo had directed him to sit down and he did. Syrus wasn't sure what this was going to be about but he was a little shaken at how perfect this seemed to have been setup. Before Syrus had a chance to open his mouth Corvo started in on him. As soon as he had mentioned his "gift" the blood in Syrus' face drained out of it. His face was now as white as a sheet of paper freshly printed from the mill. Syrus had also dropped his jaw slightly and wanted to say something but sounds weren't something he could make right now. Then he reached the part of mentioning SeeD and how he expected to see a return on his investments. Was Corvo trying to be caring in some strange way or was he seriously blackmailing him into staying and fighting for Balamb Garden? Also on a more serious thought was he just accepted into SeeD? Corvo had then told him to leave and send in the new girl. Syrus stood robotic in nature and walked out similarly. "I umm well he is ready for you Mei." He managed to get out as he walked to the elevator and leaned against the wall.
