The secretary looked only halfway looked up from her desk. [color=fff79a][b]"Did you not read the invitation thoroughly? It said there may be a ten to fifteen minute wait."[/b][/color] This woman didn't look even the slightest bit phased by Sun's status. Perhaps she was programmed to be that way, being an android and all. Sure she could almost pass for human, but a careful eye could catch the subtle differences. 

Suddenly, the door to the office slid open, revealing a young blonde man, sitting behind a desk. The secretary looked up, without emotion, and motioned for Suns to enter. 

As the door shut behind him. The man behind the desk stood up, and cracked a weak but honest smile [b]"I apologize for the seven minute wait my friend."[/b] He walked around the desk, deliberate with his footsteps. [color=fff79a][b]"Thank you for coming. I could use your help."[/b][/color]

[indent] Suns felt his embarrassment grow cold and snarky. He scrunched his face up, a light mirth in his voice as he repeated the question under his breath. Now that he eyed the "woman" closely; he could see the telltale signs of circuitry replacing flesh and blood. It all made sense now; why he always felt detached from the woman. He pondered if Bolis had told him she was metal and code before. 

[color=gold][i]He probably has,[/i][/color] he decided. 

In the midst of his musing, Bolis' door slid open with a near-silent hiss. Suns often considered the dull sound a purposeful function. Just loud enough to be registered. He strode inside with his hands still held behind his back and hearing the hiss of the door close behind him, his small smile widened and his eyes softened. Bolis was perhaps his oldest friend and really the only good thing about being in Leemo City.  

Suns lowered his head to acknowledge his friend's gratitude then grew quiet to acknowledge Bolis' oncoming request. His smile shrunk and an odd impulse seemed to fluctuate between himself and the Crystal. Was it trying to influence him again? 

[color=gold][b]"Exactly whose help do you need, Bolis? Suns' or the Crystal Bearer's?"[/b][/color] he asked. [/indent]
