William was in one of the S.S.Association's buildings. He needs to be there at least once a week and he usually brings his children, but because it was 10pm he decided to let them sleep. His new manager was a lizard man slightly shorter than him.
- Mister Leech! It's so good to see you again! -
- You told me there was an emergency, sir. -
- Not exactly an emergency. Can you… Where is that girl? -
An oddly familiar woman gets out of the bathroom, she had pale smooth skin, pointy ears, bloody red curly short hair, violet eyes and fangs. She was wearing a black shirt dress with ¾ sleeves and dark brown pantyhose with black t-strap shoes.
- Hi, I'm Amaya Waedlyd. It's nice to meet you. -
The woman offers a handshake speaking in sedento with a friendly smile. William is in shock and considerably afraid, but accepts the handshake to not raise suspicions.
- So, mister Leech, a friend of my boss asked to give a job for Miss Waedlyd here, but she only speaks sedento, so can you be her translator for a short period of time? -
- … Yes… -
- So can you give her a tour of the facility? -
- Sorry, but what is she going to do? -
- She's going to be a mission analyzer like you. -
"As if it couldn't be any worse." William thinks.
- Alright, let's go? -
William asks Amaya in sedento and they get out of the room. The tour is as uncomfortable as it could be for him, even though she's completely clueless of that. He is very afraid of the possibility of her recognizing him, despite the fact he's with a face mask, bangs covering his scar and the fact that he got considerably different since the last time he saw her 5 years ago. Amaya however seems to just be excited about her new job and the fact that she met another vampire.
- Why did you decide to live here? -
Amaya says out of nowhere while they were walking in the hallways. William is low key apavorated with the question. Luckily, she was in a angle that was impossible to see his terrified face while the rest of his body was walking normally. Vampires are a recluse people due to the vanlevenian values and culture of "not pollute yourself", so even if Rhyolite is a superpower nation, Rhyolite is too diverse for vampire immigrants. So finding a vampire, especially a born one with sedento as their first language is indeed extremely difficult.
- Miss Waedlyd, our relationship is exclusively professional. As your senior, I don't believe it's necessary to give you any information about my personal life. -
William says in a very professional way, despite being panicking inside. Amaya is upset.
The next day, William needs to go to work to teach Amaya how to do her job. He brought a huge cardboard box and put it in front of his desk, put some toys, boardgames and the kids bag and helped them to get inside.
- I need you two to not make much noise. If you need to get out and go to the toilet, you should warn me. Got it? -
- Why are we in a box? -
Blair questions.
- Because it's safer! -
- But we have never been in a box! -
- Yeah! I'm not a stray cat! -
- Let's play like this: if you can stay inside the box for all day long, we're going to have dinner in a restaurant, ok? -
William convinced Blair and Caleb to be inside the box. That kind of behavior is unusual even for William, but he always brings his kids and they are usually very quiet so nobody really cared.
- What is that? -
Amaya came and asked, pointing at the box while the kids were playing a boardgame inside the tent they made with part of William's desk, the bag and a blanket.
- That's a th… -
Blair tries to answer, but is interrupted by Caleb.
- You not have password! You not play! -
Caleb says in a very poor sedento and tries to "close" the tent.
- Waedlyd, you're late. -
William says without looking at her.
- Why did you bring that to work? -
- I don't have anywhere else to let them. -
William stands up and guides Amaya to her desk, teaching her how to do her job. After their shift ended, William and his kids undo the tent and the box and put everything on the bag to go to the restaurant. Amaya however waits for everybody to get out of the office and calls someone.
- Hi, sweetie! How was your day? -
- Just go straight to the point! -
- I actually met a vampire here, but I don't think it's him. Also, you didn't ans… -
The man on the other side ends the call and takes a deep breath, right after mumble that Amaya is stupid.
