Seeds of concern

[unlucky]

Lost in her thoughts she did not pay attention to the two for a brief period of time. Elfie knew she had to figure out something which could help reversing the situation or at least bringing it back to a minimally positive level. As she recalled the previous events and time, the only solution which was clear enough is to approach the "secretary", whom is practically with the Boss all the time. She went silent ever since the whole thing started and probably wouldn't have been a bad idea to check her out, maybe asking her for an opinion and of course giving it back to Hidamari. She looked up only to notice the man walking in the room, in his hands the PDA via which the assistant always kept contact with everybody. That was bad, too late for Elfie to be useful in the matter, but at least it seemingly helped them a bit

Trying to gather her thoughts she had to come to the conclusion that there wasn't another way to be useful right now, and then the voice of the man woke her up. Was she allright? The things were improving for sure and the only downside was that she had no part in the whole improvement, she wasn't of help at all, and she didn't need any help perhaps either. After all requiring help for being helpful sounded like a paradox. To help. Did anyone ever needed her help to begin with? The Boss didn't want of her help, and likely did not even need help at all, it was merely Elfie's miscalculation. Then after the breakdown, even if she had left when it happened, this person would have arrived anyway and given the help Hidamari needed, which he did this way too anyway. Now the case of Miss Secretary, Elfie could have helped but the man was faster, and because he was her friend and knew faster whom she needed. The Boss had all the help she always needed, in her immediate environment and thus in her friends. Neither she or her assistant needed Elfie's help, this was clear as a synthetic glass. When her brother not long ago went to disappear in Omega 5 - at least if the mysterious Ex-Reaper turned Reaver was right - then he did not ask Elfie to go with him, because he did not need her help. Even her mischievous mother, she dragged everyone along with her to help with her desires to be rich, even though being aware of Elfie's talents regarding among things such as computers, she clearly never seemed to want her help. Most likely never needed it

Elfie looked up at the ceiling then at the man, still waiting for her reaction, which finally came. Her face turned into a wide grin and she stood up like she had just been mildly electrocuted
- Nah, I don't need help - she said in perfectly faked happyness, then winked - Actually, nobody needs my help here anyway, as they all got it already. The Boss gonna be allright, you did an awesome job in correcting my failure - she turned the thumb on her right hand upward, then adjusted her sunglasses, grinning again - you are awesome, she got the best friends to make things right. Even if she didn't care much about people, you guys would make her change in no time, maybe you did once I dunno. You're fine without me here, you all were fine right from the beginning, correct? - she crossed her arms and turned her grin into a looong smile - You totally got all you need, the Boss and I totally know you too. I better go now, coming shift and such I think, so if you guys still want to call someone or something like that, let me know and I gonna send them down here
She adjusted her sunglasses one more time, then walked toward the open door, raising her arm to send a waving for them. Though they most likely didn't need that either
