"Yeah. Pretty sure I can find my way to the kitchen, meeting room, and my room, at least."
"Good. Probably the three most important rooms to you right now anyway. " I study the new guy. He seems all right, and trustworthy. God knows someone in this organization should be. I suppose I'll test his theoretical trustworthiness.
"Hey, when you meet the other members later during the meeting, could you try and get to know IV, Braxyd? We used to be good friends, we did start this organization, but I'm not so sure what he's up to these days. And he's been very temperamental."
"So you want me to spy on him and figure out what he's up to then report back to you?"
"Not exactly. I only need to know if he's up to anything fishy, not every single thing he does every single day. It'll take some time to get his trust though. Like I said, very temperamental lately." IX seems to absorb this, then he stands.
"I'll get back to my room, then. Anything else you want me to know?"
"Not that I can think of. Thanks, see you later. If you run into anyone on your way back to your room, ignore them." He nods and departs. I sigh, shuffle some papers around my desk, then get up and head to the kitchen. I really need a good cup or four of chai before I head into the meeting room. I hope that the meeting goes smoothly later on. If Brax acts up like he did when Lexamich first arrived, we're all gonna be screwed. Braxyd mostly.
I start to fill up the tea pot, and before it's half full of water, Xassha walks into the kitchen.
"II, want some tea?"
"Oh, God, yes. How's the newbie?"
"Good. He's light, you know." I finish filling the pot and set it onto the already heated stove. I grab two coffee mugs and set them on the counter, then go to sit with II at the bar.
"Light? Hope Max doesn't freak when she finds out we have a member that controls light." Xassha give a faintly bemused laugh. "Could you imagine it? She'd kill him."
"Yeah, that's why we don't tell her until she's stable. Don't want anyone hurt..." Just then, the tea kettle started whistling its high pitched song. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....... I jump up and pour fresh, boiling water into the mugs I had set out and drop a tea bag in each. I pick the mugs up with oven mitts and bring them to the table.
"I hope you like chai. I really wanted some and didn't even think to ask you what you wanted. Sorry."
"Chai's fine. Anyways, have you seen the garden lately? Seycax has made it stop looking like garbage."
"Yeah, saw that. She's like Marluxia and Zexion's lovechild or something." Xassha and I look at each other and just burst out laughing at the ridiculous thought of Zexion and Marluxia's child.
"Oh my hahaha God. Hahahaha! What color hair do you suppose their kid would have? Purple?"
"Hahaha! Probably. My face hurts now. Hahaha.. My sides too." I love these moments, when I can just let my guard down and laugh, a true laugh. I only wish these moments were more often in the life of a Nobody.
