Shona listened to Cyrus's tale. “You can certainly tell you were involved with things at a young age. It surprises me how easy it is to shock the recruiters. Of course things could have changed since we were recruited. Infinity Initiative is no longer a fledgeling organization.” Calvin had an interesting story as well. He ended it by adressing the possibility that the organization had set them up. “Cyrus had some thoughts about that as well. It's certainly not a possibility we should rule out, but I think it's a bit early to draw such a conclusion.” Shortly afterward, Mondatta arrived to tell Shona the news about Davis as well as his idea for an afternoon regroup. “That is good news, and a sound plan as well. I'll accompany you.” Shona stood up and turned towards Calvin. “I would like to speak to you at a later time. If it's not too late, maybe I'll catch you around the ER room before returning here.” Before Shona could follow Cyrus and Mondatta, Mary walked into the break room. “Oh!” Shona looked genuinely surprised. “I'm sorry, if I knew you were going to return I would have waited to drink with you.” The knight gave an apologetic nod. “Let's reschedule for the afternoon. Hopefully more people will be up for drinking then. Alright?” Shona started to walk after the monk and politician.
“Ugh...”
Davis might have been dressed now, but his situation wasn't favorable. Now Shona, the monk, and everyone else Shona talked to would likely be trying to kill him. Well, Shona seemed a little miffed about it, but he was quite sure Mondatta wouldn't do anything to hurt him. So long as he spilled his guts to everyone else that is. Perfection had watched his fair share of martial art movies and knew monks could get violent if you did something bad enough. It really didn't matter though. In telling Mondatta his story, Davis knew it was only a matter of time before that stupid bear told everyone. However, telling everyone at once seemed like a bad idea. He needed to address this the right way.
When Davis opened the door and looked down the hall, he could see Cyrus and Mondatta walking towards the resort wing. He wondered if Cyrus knew already...
“Davis?”
Alarmed, Davis spun around, banging his head on the door frame. “You Cuhhh-couldn’t have have maybe warned me sooner?”
Shona blinked. “We're about six feet apart. This is what most consider a comfortable conversation distance with strangers.”
The conqueror stood up and dusted himself off. “What do you want?”
“I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry I didn't speak with you earlier, but I'm very happy that you're not locking yourself away.”
It was nice to receive praise from the knight for a change. He wasn't entirely sure if she was capable of expressing humility. “Well, you're forgiven.” Davis leaned against the frame of the door and folded his arms. “Did he tell you any of the specifics?”
The knight just shook her head. “I have no idea what you told him, only that Mondatta said you would be coming out soon.” Her eyes locked with the conqueror's “Davis, I'm not sure how responsible you really are for our situation, but Mondatta and Cyrus both felt that a reasonable amount of cooperation will be necessary for everyone's survival. I'm aware your talent makes you distrust others, but cooperation can benefit everyone, especially you.”
Davis gave Shona a sideways glance. “I called the TP girl something bad.”
“Rika? You called her...”
“The C word.”
The knight groaned. “Just do what you can to make sure you don't make any more enemies. I'm sure it's not too late to apologize.”
“Yea, I'm not doing that. She-”
“Honestly Davis, I don't care.”
“Hey! You didn't let me finish!”
“Because I knew it wasn't worth listening to.”
“Come on!” Davis growled. “You know you could have talked to me about the stupid bear's regulations. Why did you go talk to the damn politician?”
Shona sighed. “Because while you were my first choice, he continues to display more humility and a willingness to work with others.”
“...What?”
“I have more pressing matters than your ego Davis. I hope you join everyone for our afternoon get together in the break room.” Shona walked away.
Humility huh? A willingness to work with others? These certainly weren't typically Davis's style, but he could do them. He was infinite conquest after all. If he put his mind to it, Davis could be more humble than the pope. He would show her, he'd show everyone just how much team spirit he really had. Mostly because Davis knew it would be the key to making sure nobody wanted to kill him.
Shona and Mondatta both entered the study at the same time. It was true to its name in that there were a lot of books and a desk to study at. However it was clearly not a private office. One of the desks was tall enough to be used as a counter top, and had a cash register on top of it. This place had never been a study, but was a bookstore themed after a study. Or at least that was the most logical conclusion. There wasn't a lot of signage on the outside of the room, but it was possible that all of that had been taken down.
“Curious...”
Strangest of all was perhaps the large vault that spanned the entire length of the wall. It looked quite durable, and there didn't seem to be any way to open it. A glance at the map showed that there was a room of near equal size on the other side. It seemed pointless to try and open the vault, so Shona moved her attention to looking at the rows and rows of books. The knight would occasionally pull out something that caught her interest. Most of which pertained to her own interests and possibly the interests of others in the group.
Davis had wandered into the break room and puffed out his chest. Oh yes, he was going to make so many friends today! He could just feel it. Everyone ignored him, but not this time. They would have no choice but to succumb to his friendly nature. The woman, and some of the men, would likely be fighting for his attention once he was done. Okay, that was enough pumping up the ol' self-esteem. It was time to rock.
“Hey there handsome.” Davis put his arm around Mason's shoulder. “As the two best looking guys in this room, what say we blow this popcorn stand?” After an uncomfortable amount of time passed, Davis nodded. “No homo.” He added before releasing Mason and approaching Quill. “Well, clearly I've died and gone to heaven.” Davis pulled the prayer beads out of his sleeve. “Because you, are clearly an angel. This bracelet with thoughtful inscriptions is clearly for you. Someone who's beauty can invoke the same level of mental clarity.” He gently curled her fingers over the beads. “Or wear it as a necklace. You look like a smart girl.” Davis turned around to look at Mary. “Well, I just got a lot more interested in videogames. Hold on a sec...” Perfection took a picture of Mary with his E-handbook. “Ah, the resolution still doesn't quite catch the glamor of the real thing... but it's close.” Davis then approached Kara and Aleecia. “My goodness.” He knelt down beside them and placed his hand on their shoulders. “God wouldn't dare curse a graceful creature like you with blindness. Clearly your eyes were overwhelmed by how adorable this little girl is.” He patted Kara on the head. “That, or they simply couldn't take how enchanting your reflection was.” She really was blind. Hmmmm. Davis considered his beauty to be one of his better features, but maybe she would like him moreif she didn't know his exact age. “Oh.” He had just noticed Calvin. “You're not too bad either, hammer boy. No homo of course.” Davis cracked his knuckles and started to walk towards the door. “So yea, I'm surrounded by a lot of attractive faces. I plan on checking out the Hospital. Specifically the neurology room.” He scratched the back of his head. “I don't suppose anyone wants to accompany me on my little adventure, do they?” Perfection used his thumb to pop out a button on his shirt, further revealing the extent of his untamed chest hair. Davis's grin was so broad, he had to close his eyes.
