Snippet #2707123

After fleeing Alexia’s table in fear for his life, he sat at a table far away but close enough he could over hear their conversation. Though there really wasn’t much to overhear. Mostly that Sam used a spell to calm him down and she wanted him to find out more about her destination. The rest of the night passed without any trouble. He managed to eat a pizza and down about two pitchers of soda before heading back to his room.

The dragon still wasn’t happy about having to share a room with Red. He didn’t trust him and he had a dislike of his taste in magic. So, he activated his armor, modified so it would be dull and not damage anything and went to sleep.

The sound of the phone woke him up earlier than he would like. His armor dissolved away as he reached to answer the phone. “Hmm, hello?”

“Hello, this is your wake up call requested by your employer. They ask that you meet them in breakfast lounge 4 in 15 minutes.”

“Oh, thank you. Good bye.” He heard a click on the other end then hung up the phone.

“Wake up Red. Time to have some breakfast and chat with out boss.” Without waiting for a reply, he used the bathroom then headed for breakfast lounge 4.

He met Red on the way to the lounge and spotted Holo and Sam approaching. The smell coming from the lounge made his mouth water a little. As they went inside, he expected to see their feline employer but instead was a male human.

As he got some food, the unknown human spoke. "Alexia sends her regards. She will occupied for a while and not with us. In her place, I am Valen. All that you need to be aware of right now is that my word is the same as her word." He explained, clearly far more observant then Alexia, looking over each them heavily, looking for details. "You are free to ask questions, but remember. If myself or Alexia say that a subject is off-limits, then the question will be dropped." Valen stated. "I've attempted to make a fair deal of breakfast and snack items please enjoy."

Holo spoke first. Asking if there will be one more for the trip than expected. He did find it odd that he and Alexia wouldn’t both be present but maybe they were just business allies and not friends otherwise.

Once Holo and Valen finished their conversation, “First, thank you for the food. And second, where is the scary cat lady? I wanted to apologize for last night. She was scarily pissed.”
