*sighs*
Look, I'm sorry. You are the one who is really fueling the edginess that I am feeling right now because you don't seem to trust me.
*flips the eggs*
I am an assassin, the location of this is not only inconspicuous by looks but I do have measures to hide my presence from a variety of possible angry people.

@Spiritblitz

What exactly are you hoping I trust you to do?

*though gritted teeth*
Can I not be relaxed in my own home?

@Spiritblitz

Considering a short comment was enough to ruin breakfast...

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Just because we are hiding out in my home doesn't mean you can walk into rooms un announced all the time. I believe we've discussed this multiple times, Time Line.
*Cracks the eggs in the pan that had bacon in it*
And "keeping me alert" is not an excuse.

@Spiritblitz

You're either too relaxed or too on-edge. You need to find some kind of harmony.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

That was the plan before you barged in here.

@Spiritblitz

Perfect. Then all is according to plan.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

I could have gotten you while the eggs were in your eyes. That is called distraction.

@Spiritblitz

A better opponent wouldn't have been struck to begin with.
*Kneels down to pick up the pan and wipes off the floor with the towel*
Throw in a few for me as well. We'll need the energy.

*takes a stance, pan in hand ready, then I sigh putting it back on the stove*
Time Line, How many times have I told you?
*my eyebrow twitches in annoyance when I turn around and grab more eggs*

@Spiritblitz

*Grabs a towel from your cabinet and wipes down my hair and face*
I was going to scold you for not being alert. But now I'm disappointed that you'd waste so much food.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*screams, throwing the pan of eggs at you then the spoon shortly after*

@Spiritblitz

*Stares, deadpan and clearly unimpressed as yolk runs down my face*
...

Myriad Reality

*hums and nods my head side to side with the tune as I am cooking eggs, the sound of sizzling bacon fills the air along with the smell*

@Spiritblitz

*From an adjacent room, without knocking or entering appropriately*
You seem relaxed.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Okay, finishing up the paperwork and you should see some visitors soon.
*finishes writing then folds it with one hand*
See you later, Time Line.

Have a good one... SideSlash.
*Closes the connection*

@Techspert

One problem down. Now to—
*My hand hovers over the remnants of the wound that snakes through my chest, back, and waist, before drifting toward the fresh cascade of sand, only to swiftly recoil as if scorched by an open flame*
Even you... how many more will they claim before this ends?
*Brushes away the now-damp sand from my shirt and retreats into the vast expanse of the desert*
