Snippet #1365751

Tenalia picked her way through the relatively empty streets of Cosmopolitan city rather quickly. She was more running then picking though, Tenalia knew the city like the back of her hand, every side street and alleyway was a potential shortcut that could be exploited. It was a side effect of calling these streets home, as dangerous as they were. Tenalia had been sitting in a small coffee shop checking her email on her labtop for the first time in days. It was a task that had completely slipped her mind but she almost had a heart attack at the sight of the only email in her box. The mail was a simple response from the SKEA Center, she was enthralled that they had accepted her but was shocked to learn that the meetings were today and they were starting in 5 minutes.

Those 5 minutes were long overdue Tenalia thought bitterly as her white hair streamed past her. She had picked up a lot of speed and was probably pushing the envelope on energy use but she had to be at SKEA, she could not have her interview taken away from her. As Tenalia rounded another corner she could begin to make out the SKEA Center some three blocks away and couldn't help but be filled with a sort of wild anticipation at what SKEA had done for her. It wasn't long before she found herself panting for breath in the main lobby of SKEA. "I'm sorry I'm late Maim" she said in between breaths.

The receptionist did nothing but smile and reassure Tenalia that she had not missed the interview, though she did slip in a comment about other plans.
"Hello sir, thank you for coming" Tenalia heard the receptionist say shortly after she had sat down in one of the chairs. "This is the sidekick we have arranged for your first interview"

Tenalia looked up to see a taller man with mid length black hair, glasses and an tan coat. She wasn't sure what to make of him and it was impossible to read his eyes. However, she was glad, he didn't seem like a villain, maybe he was a hero. Regardless the man towered over her but, so did everyone, it was nothing new. Tenalia stuck her hand out to the man. "Hello, I'm Tenalia Ceolmen. I look forward to our interview."
