He had come prepared with contracts a plenty. Confirming some of suspicions she had held, while opening the door to a new opportunity. An opportunity that was hard to refuse considering her current circumstance. Letting his words linger in the air for a considerable amount of time, only the hum from the ventilation made any noise.. Her expression remained neutral, and she hadn’t uprighted herself or moved from her position upon the bed. [h1][/h1] [color=fff200]“Oh, I’m sure they have….” [/color] [h1][/h1] Lifting her legs up as she rolled over her head and off the bed onto her feet, her long reddish hair trailing down with her back towards Bookman. She started to stretch and loosen up her stiff joints from her long period of rest, twisting and stretching out her arms and back. Feeling satisfied with her stretches she turned her head, peering over her shoulder and down at the table full of contracts. Her yellow golden eyes lingered upon them for a time before her gaze shifted towards Bookman himself, seeing him rightside up for the first time. With that she let herself fall back onto the table as she took a seat on its edge, crossing her arms and propping her right leg over her left knee, flicking her long red hair out of the way as she angled herself to get a better view of not only the contracts but Bookman as well. [h1][/h1] [color=fff200]“I wouldn’t fret about how serious I take this, I want to destroy them, cut the head off the snake, Dr. Moller in particular… I wonder how much they truly know about me”[/color] Having a few questions and clarifications of her own that she wished to make. [h1][/h1] [color=fff200]“Outside of my assistant who does technical work I have no other connections that will get in my way of harming them, I want to make this clear, the facade that was the freelancer Sovereign is dead, Gemini had its chance to either save her or kill her and they chose to do neither, I have grown bored of those games, it is time to take a more direct approach”[/color] shifting her legs as she used her right knee to prop up her left leg as she took a brief pause. [h1][/h1] [color=fff200]“I presume those ample resources you spoke of go beyond simple supplies and include other espers, I’m capable of a lot of things, but challenging Gemini and Maverick alone is something that not many can hope to accomplish, especially if you are dragging Oros into the mix, not that I’m up for the challenge…but your promise of information has me intrigued”[/color] Shifting her attention to Bookmans outstretched hand, her expression and tone having remained just as emotionless as when he had arrived. [h1][/h1] Without a word, she rose up from the table and slowly turned to extend her own hand, taking hold of Bookmans without hesitation in a firm and solid grip. Staring him in the eyes as a flicker went through her own. [color=fff200]“I find them acceptable, but I wonder... is a deal between two devil’s still a deal with the devil…”[/color]
