Gunslinger –Change the Logic of Time—
Once in his home, where it should be quiet he hears more yelling, shouting, the sounds of objects breaking. Inside he feels horrible but walks through the house and out the front door and gets the mail, none of it's important. Like always. Back in his house the enveloped messages are tossed onto the table, a few credit card offers here, a postcard announcing his next doctor's appointment and a blank envelope. However he doesn't look at any of them, none of it matters any ways. With a heavy sigh he sits down on the couch and picks up a book, the title wasn't important, where he was in the book was though.
By now the shouting and screaming had moved outside, sounds of someone being hit are heard and he carefully closes the book, looking out the window even though he would be unable to see what was going on. Placing the book back on the couch he jumps when a loud outcry is heard, the sound of someone who's been completely betrayed. From next door the yelling fades away and their argument moves indoors.
"Sir?" she asks.
Looking over at the black haired girl he smiles, "Did I forget something?"
She shakes her head slightly and a disapproving sound is heard from one of the other men in the room, "Kino, is there a reason you can't pay attention?" The man in charge of the agency asks this leaning forward on the table and resting his chin on folded hands.
All eyes in the room are focused on the tall dark haired man, awaiting his response. Smiling cheerfully he replies, "Sorry sir."
They're at a briefing, normally only the handlers would be here, the cyborgs left to wander to compound and keep themselves busy but like always. Florianna had wanted to come. As his boss talks more and more Kino finds himself once again paying little to no attention however out of the corner of his eye he can see her eyes looking strait at the man and he can tell she's absorbing every detail.
"So I'd like the Kino-Florianna fratello to retrieve this man from London so maybe we can get some information from him," pausing the man takes this opportunity to slide a folder in Kino's direction after a pause he slides a similar folder over to the blonde man, Jean, "And I'd like the Jean-Rico team to accompany them."
Both Kino and Jean nod, Florianna pulls the folder over to her and looks through. When he looks over to her she looks up again, an obvious question on her mind. Smiling he folds his arms over his chest.
"You leave tomorrow," the man adds.
And then they're dismissed.
When they're argument moves indoors he puts his shoes on in a rush and runs outside. The sound of someone's cries is softly in the background. Running to the small stone wall he looks over into his neighbor's yard. With his tall height it's not hard and when he looks over the wall and sees his neighbor's daughter laying abandoned on the ground he's shocked.
"Let's visit Hermes!" he exclaims suddenly and rather loudly to the girl his eating lunch with.
Instead of looking at him like he's crazy like the rest of the lunch room is doing the girl places her fork on the tray and her eyes light up in an obvious sign of excitement and she replies in the same cheerful tone as Kino had just used; "Really? We haven't gotten to spend much time with him lately!"
Both now are happy and excited, and he replies, "Sure, why not?" he asks.
Instead of exclaiming something with an inflection of hyperactivity she speaks calmly and in a serious tone, "Shouldn't we prepare for the mission?"
Finishing his milk in one gulp he smiles, "Nah, we trained this morning."
She gives him a small nod she eats a bit more of her lunch. Instead of continuing the discussion he eats the rest of his lunch in a mad rush. Once he's done he meets the surprised brown eyes of Florianna and starts to laugh.
"What's funny?" she asks.
Between his laughs he manages his answers, "I don't know."
