Long before the new personages made their appearance in the lush of Sylvania Dome, when Robert and Susan just finished discussing and digesting their little and harmless plot, Robert glared at Susan as she left towards the labs, contriving the bamboozle in detail as well as the possible outcomes.
He didn't say anything to her, not even a salute. He was somehow worried. The idea of her departure didn't appeal to him at all and this is something to be expected. The Commonwealth possesses a remarkable unity. When one of its members leaves, or dies, the sorrow exceeds over gargantuan proportions.
But he didn't allow any such thoughts to express on his face and bestow a moment of subjective weakness.
" Tres bien " he thought as his attention turned towards his leopard, once Susan left.
The leopard also glared at him insistently, as if it knew what to expect. Robert then approached it and unleashed the beautiful creature, only to witness the docile and exotic feline disappearing in the confines of trees and bushes at an alarming excitement. Robert didn't want to take his furry companion to the laboratory for some reason yet unknown
" But what if people will get startled at this sight? Well... That is why we have Sean to worry about for " He thought, ruminating any possible and inconvenient outcome where his Leopard would stumble through the various drinks at the bar.
A small, elusive smile erected on his lips, as if the scenario appealed to him, drifting him away from the murderous thought of one's departure, tormenting him intensively.
Forward he went towards the exit as his shoes drenched themselves into the soft ground, covering the distance. He had to complete this intrigue. It is a well obvious fact that this wouldn't be the first of trickeries he attempts to play at Achille's address. No, such performances were a regular display.
Well beyond the unity and the strong bond they had, sustained by their commitment for the common cause: Prosperity of the Commonwealth. They exhibited a mutual desire to unleash a set of trickeries to one another. A performance equivalent to a lion guarding its meal zealously while being constantly and relentlessly nagged and annoyed by a hyena so that it would give in its meal away. The only difference here was that these roles were interchangeable between the two characters: Robert and Achille, while the meal, or the prize, was their own pride and sense of egocentrism, easily spurred.
Still, in a matter of seconds, Robert himself staged his disappearance from the dome, only to allow the events in here flow without him
