[@vietmyke] & [@Theyra][hr][/center][color=9f9f9f][quote]Jin wasn't being subtle and Vyska was quick to notice. However, the look in her eyes wasn't one of judgment or ridicule. She well was aware it was impossible to know what people in positions of power wanted. On top of it, to find yourself suddenly surrounded by not one but two of these individuals had to be setting off some kind of alarm. Vyska had lived with similar scrutiny all her life, and not just from those in the Lower Ring. Those in the Upper Ring often approached her in much the same way, they were just better equipped to express it. They were also usually wrong about her.

Jin was not completely off.

As Reman approached the group, Vyska peeled her eyes away from the Pipe Runner and turned to give the newest face a nod. [color=white]"Right on time."[/color] She said, flashing him a smile just as a lighter finally found the end of the cigarette in her mouth. She leaned forward a bit and helped coax the flame onto the end. Once it was lit, she took a drag and then pulled it from her mouth between two fingers before gesturing with it at Jin. [color=white]"Mr. Xuoshi. This is Jin Wei. We will be riding with him today."[/color] She then motioned toward the girl between them, smoke now billowing from her mouth. [color=white]"The energetic one is Sumire."[/color]

[color=white]"Hello!"[/color] There was another salute.

[color=white]"And you've met Jack."[/color] She finished, pointing at the man standing next to her who was replacing the lighter in the folds of his jacket.

[color=white]"Mr. Xuoshi."[/color] Jack stated, simply. He reached for a handshake as Vyska took another pull on her cigarette. [color=white]"It's nice to see you again.[/color]

[color=white]"I do believe that is everyone."[/color] At this point, Jack was handing her the jacket she was to wear, as she was already beginning to remove her cloak. [color=white]"So... I know the visit is sudden and some of you may be wondering why we're here. I want to take this moment right now to assure you that no one is in trouble."[/color] A folded cloak was deposited into one of the larger pockets of the jacket. Surprisingly, the fabric, although appearing to be rather thick, folded well and didn't take up too much space. [color=white]"A large part of my taking over the company from my father is getting a feel for every aspect of the job and seeing where things can be improved. This includes Pipe Running."[/color] In a quick, fluid motion, the jacket was opened and pulled over one arm and then the other. It sat comfortably around her and looked plenty adequate to weather the harsher environment beyond the walls. [color=white]"Just like every part of SynEn, you do important work. Work that could cripple the company if done improperly or not at all. For that reason, I'm grateful. For what you do and again for taking the time, even if it wasn't your decision."[/color] She took another drag from the cigarette. [color=white]"Mr. Xuoshi is here to discuss the possibility of expanding their operation. More than just security or a tool that is easily lost. We know there are often gaps in the coverage of the pipe and when spread too thin, many of you are left to defend your stretch of the pipe by yourself. We're hoping to change that and seeing what you do in person, experiencing it first hand, will give us a better idea of how to do it. Even more so if our guide is the 'most senior' and 'safest' of the Pipe Runners working for me."[/color] She smiled again at Jin. [color=white]"We'll be in your hands."[/color]

[color=white]"Did you have any questions for me before we head out?"[/color][/quote][/color][/cell][/row][/table][/sub][/color][sup][sup][sup][sup][sup][sup][sup][sup][sup][sup][img]https://i.imgur.com/rgopK5m.png[/img][/sup][/sup][/sup][/sup][/sup][/sup][/sup][/sup][/sup][/sup]
