Seeds of concern

[Hidamari]

Having finished a large amount of paper work, Kiriko sat in her office, it was very strange to have such a room to herself dedicated to only work, she had sparingly few personal touches yet due to her relatively new installment into the position of Head of Border World Exports' Exploration & Security division.

Cly was on the desk, having been connected to the Kings Cross neural net it gave her great freedom to explore all the hidden points of the station that were located in subnet domain space. Kiriko was looking over the reports from the several managers under her position, each one containing information from roster casualties and recruitment strategy, to funding and ship deployment tactics. After having finished the general recruitment lists from all the major sectors in Bretonian space, Kiriko sat in the chair, which was much bigger than she really needed it to be but hadnt gotten round to asking for a smaller one.

She span round slowly with her legs crossed. "Cly?" Kiriko asked quietly, watching the room spin, her friend lit up on the desk, the Holoscreen of the computer becoming her interface. ::yes Kiriko?:: Cly said quietly, the voice seemed to come from the room itself, and not from the desk. "Is it home time now? I'm a little tired" Kiriko said with a quiet yawn, closing her eyes and feeling the room turning. ::Not yet, we have only a little longer:: Cly said in a general encouraging statement. Kiriko felt a little bit down, it had been a long day today and she felt particularly tired, still she nodded and smiled a little rubbing the plate on her arm slowly. "Do we still have work to do then?"Kiriko asked calmly, soothing her arm slowly. *A sad face appeared on Cly's screen on the desk followed by a raining cloud for a few moments*, ::We do, I am taking care of most of the menial tasks so we can focus on the big ones together::. Kiriko smiled ambiently, still spinning but very slowly now. "Aww, Cly arigato ne?.. " she said blushing lightly and feeling a tingle run across her cheeks, a love heart appeared on the Holoscreen for a moment in response.

Still sitting cross legged on the bit chair, Kiriko pulled herself into the desk the next time it swiveled into view, "Okay! Cly lets get lots of work done this evening too!" Kiriko said getting herself pumped up for another bout of paperwork, *a sun with shining rays was showed on the monitor for a moment*, ::We have the funding requests from the Cambridge system to look over, Ive highlighted the parts that require special attention:: ...

The pair of them continued to work on the daily tasks assigned to Kiriko in her new role, as she was determined to work harder than everyone to make sure she was not going to let anyone down. an egg timer appeared on Clys screen followed by her voice as Elfie placed her hand on the scanner, her data being added to Cly's memory. ::Miss Elfie Cullen is at the door::, Kiriko blinked a little, "Cullen-san is? is everything ok?" Kiriko said a to cly, though not really expecting Cly to know the answer. ::shall we let her in?:: Cly asked promptly, Kiriko nodded and sat up the chair.

The door slid open, and Elfie stood waiting before walking into the room, still feeling a little small on the chair Kiriko knelt up on it and smiled when Elfie walked in, wondering what the clothes she had on were for, and the towel, having never been to a gym herself. Smiling and getting down from the chair and walking quickly to the door to greet Elfie, Kiriko remembered her Bretonian manners and did a small curtsy, her skirt flowing a little, then with a smile she looked up to Elfie "Konbanwa! Cullen-san, is there something the matter ?"
