"Late every time I swear-" was the exact thought of representative Gamen Daran, a hound.

He was trying to be patient while he waited in his office for his usual guest. A few times Gamen would walk to his window watching the distant buildings and office complex entrance for hopes of spotting who was supposed to come. So far it had been an hour past the original time meant for the meeting and he was nowhere to be found.

"Such a waste of time…"

By the time three hours went by Gamen finally got the knock on the door he was waiting for. A brown fox with a blue streak in his fur entered as though he was on time. Gamen waited until the fox sat in the visitor chair in front of his desk before talking.

"I hope you do realize that you've wasted three hours of my time that could've been used to help out on city repairs" he kept it in a sort of formal-sounding tone.

The fox didn't change his mood but rather went a bit happier.

"And I hope you've realized it was intentional for me to be late. I had to make sure you were definitely patient enough to actually hear what I say in every detail," he shifted in his seat to be more comfortable, "are you willing to spend more time for me?"

He didn't catch himself doing so, but Gamen gave a frustrated grunt while he walked straight for his own chair. The fox remained silent for him to acknowledge with speech.

"What is exactly so important to hear? I have limited time, Leno"

Leno sat there for a little bit possibly double-checking his patience. Gamen wanted to ask again what it was but suspected more of his testing so he also remained silent. It was enough to prove he could listen; at least for the fox.

"Are you familiar with the subject of Cerinia, its beliefs, and its people before the incident?"

The only reply was a confused look. How was that important?

"Familiar or not many can know what happened truly that day when we lost that planet" Leno looked at the ground in remembrance.

"What do you say? You're saying that I need to know about something you claim to know about?" Gamen started to be both confused and interested.

Leno nodded back as he prepared to tell his long story. He'd have to hope it wasn't too long or that there wasn't going to be many questions.
