"We'll go and report to the boss, you'll be delivering the equipment?" Fidi sounded normal when he asked it, a rare occurrence and his eyes were unusually clear of any teasing.
"Please. I don't want to see him if possible" if the other two thought anything of his words they did not show it openly. They just waved at him and then went their separate ways.
Once they were out of his vision, Mark made his way deeper inside the base and back to the workshop. Kuro made sure her presence was not felt through the somewhat crowded corridor they were passing through.
Despite a small number of available people in this base, somehow it always felt crowded.
