“Understood.”
The small arachnid was under his palm in one second and brushed off into the small bin next to him in the next before he was once again standing next to his charge. Surprisingly, he didn't actually kill the thing, but it was rather small and quickly scurried away as his charge began to settle so he was sure no one bothered to notice. The new arrival gave him a look but as she congratulated him later before leaving he was sure he was in the clear for the time being.
He had been performing these small acts of rebellion ever since he had let the rebel girl escape again. No matter, there was no harm, and his actions only served to better the situation of the empire as a whole. Spiders killed other insects which meant letting one live would result in the benefit of his superior's later work ethic. Really though, he may have just been slowly coming around to a certain someone's view point after a rather hard shock to his system of beliefs.
He quickly returned to standing next to his charge with hands behind his back and cold eyes scanning the area, the professional, silent stance of a sentry constantly alert to potential dangers. One of which seemed to be a stirring in his employer's nerves, killing spiders seemed to be his main task, something he noticed with each time she screamed for assistance.
The current “bug elimination” had been the third time such an act was required by him, apparently there was more life in this hole-in-the-ground than the faces of the workers would have you believe. He was fine with it though, while skittish and afraid of everything around her, his newest charge kept him on his toes. But, as most of his time here had been opening doors and playing exterminator, guarding the Accounting Director was a simple mission, and he supposed that it meant the higher ups were trusting him more if he was being put in charge of the security concerning someone so entwined in their financial system. Yes, things were definitely going well for him. He could only hope that it stayed that way.
“Was there anything else you needed mam?” He inquired coolly, piercing blue eyes never leaving their post of looking straight forward. It was strange how quiet the day had been, yes he was content with the situation but that didn't stop him from being naturally suspicious as hell about said easiness.
He had a natural unease about his presence there. Yes, his work was easy but that seemed to be what was unsettling him the most. Perhaps it was him over thinking the situation but he was sure that, as his background included some combat experience, that his being requested specifically meant he was going to be putting down something or someone on a slightly larger scale than the average “creepy crawly”. The small office, the lack of anything out of the ordinary, the fact that he was called away after stopping an attack on a Galatec employee, shouldn't they have placed him in the city? Or was it because of his accomplishments that his current boss requested him, was he here just for her peace of mind, she seemed quite skittish so that wasn't an impossibility.
Still, he couldn't shake the feeling, he never trusted when things were going right.
