<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

She's going to do it anyway once she figures it out.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

If she does. I still “pay”, but the money is moved to another account to appear like it is for the bill.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The drone scours the halls for additional entrances and rooms, and also scans the bookshelves*

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Isn't that just, you know, lying?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Well, yeah. But the money saved isn’t just for me. Its a emergency fund.

<Snipped quote by System>

*The hall meets a dead end without any noticeable doors, and the bookshelves contain text equally as indecipherable as that on the walls*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Hm.
*Retrieves a book and returns it to myself*

<Snipped quote by System>

*The girl squats down in the distance, to trace text along the wall closer to the ground*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*When the drone brings the book back to me, I open it up and look for any identifying features*

<Snipped quote by System>

*The text inside the book is illegible, but some pages do contain detail diagrams of poses and stances, as it were a combat manual of some sort*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Places a drone on the book and starts analyzing the language, while I watch the woman in the distance*

<Snipped quote by System>

*The text almost seems to scramble itself, manipulated into being indecipherable. She stands up and takes a step back from the wall, lookiing over it from a more broad angle*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Withdraws the beam into a small orb that rests on my palm, and I hand the drone the book to return it to its proper place, while still observing the woman's movements*

<Snipped quote by System>

*Both myself and the woman casually turn our gaze to the door, as if looking was spurned by conversation, and after our gaze passes over you, it immediately snaps back to your position, and I disappear, almost as if retracting into her person*

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

For what?

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Stares back without yet approaching*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Just in case something happens.

<Snipped quote by System>

*Phase-steps in your direction, fluidly shifting in space from where I was to a few feet in front of you, and I cock an eyebrow and stare incredulously*
What are YOU doing here?

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

I ought to ask you the same question.

<Snipped quote by System>

I had no idea you were involved with these people.
*Narrows my eyes*
Are you who they sent to hunt me down?
