had been busy prepping for the war front. As council duties called, she'd left the department in his care, and HBIC in 's. But there's still a matter he's been meaning to push: PROJECT SAPPHIRE. His councilwoman is not immune to the efforts he's been pushing, reaching out to others to help assist, pooling resources to make an attempt to support their citizens, and most importantly, a mass diversion of man power into studying the intricacies of their avatars. They needed as much data as possible if they were to protect their avatars, as well as keep their strategic edge against Rocket.

' words ring in his ears. He'd agreed ( sort of ) to be better. He hoped he was. He hoped he followed Dahlia's instruction to the letter, and stopped letting his dick dictate his actions. Hopefully the monitoring with SAPPHIRE would help negate Groudon's influence, especially with Matias' new found will power. But they could never be too careful.

And moreover...he had been the one to bring Penelope by name. Not his first time. He didn't particular understand their combined grudge. Penny wouldn't discuss it, and Matias was finnicky in what he said and when he said it. The man only spoke when the mood struck him , and Paxton wasn't always lucky to catch him in it.

He'd made a point to bring up Penny as well as and , other avatars in their ranks. Penny what him worried the most. It felt like even before the council began to cloister itself away, she'd been distant with him. Not purposefully, not that he thought it was. Busy. She was entrusting him with more and more work, her scheduling relegated to their secretary as Paxton tried to keep up with dozens of stacks of reports with her notes, her instruction. He spoke for her, moved in her interest, and walled away those that might pull her away from more important matter.

But even so, their communications had trickled to a slowing stop. He'd receive a couple of emails form her with a list of tasks, meetings, and arbitrations on his questions but never quite catch her in her office. It made him worried for the state of the region.

On his way to visit the scientist's he catches sight of burning red hair, and a stiff, confident posture. "Councilwoman !" he greeted, though it's more of a blurted out yell. He immediately changed course, shoving papers under his arm and pulling out a notebook. "It's rare to see you these days. Have you read over my analysis. I rewrote it tailored to your previous notes, but haven't received it and unfortunately, they're pushing for COB today." he said as he easily fell in step with her. He doesn't miss a beat, knowing his time is most likely limited. She's walking fast, heels clacking like thunder in the empty hallway.

"PROJECT SAPPHIRE- have you met with Dr. Morales and Proff. Reyes yet?" he added.

For most people, time was an extension of interest. Schedules can be rearranged, meetings canceled - as long as there is a living, thriving will to do so, there is little reason why someone couldn't make time for another. Penelope was another subject of that study. Work, in many cases, was just another excuse readied for wielding, definite through the veil of importance her role regaled.
[break][break]

Paxton was an exception to this rule, however.
[break][break]

It wasn't lack of interest that burdened their relationship. She would choose him over a sea of people, preference exemplified in their unique relationship alone. But FEAR became a wedge. A solid cut of metal to slice between their time. Paxton not only heralded the confrontation of her actions, but the realization of their implication; of the slow approaching ridge that'll soon split between them.
[break][break]

"Concordas," her tight smile hardly encouraged conversation. It was the same she would have given to any surprise that annoyed her. "Received and read. should already be at your office with my approval. Thank you for getting that done."
[break][break]

What a headache that was to get done. The more she asked of her Secretary and , the more apparent things became to those around her.
[break][break]

Her heels clacked around the corner, pressing past a row of offices.

"I haven't. Probably won't be able to until after Sootopolis."

He nodded as he kept in step with the woman. As she briskly moved to her next appointment, Paxton easily took minutes off his free time between his own meetings to trail after her. Not an uncommon sight in HQ, however. How many times had they moved through the halls of the League Head Quarters together, revising and speaking in hurried, hushed tones until their next meetings. Collaborating and reviewing with each other. Paxton, more often than not, enacting Penelope's will where the good councilwoman could not appear.

That hyper efficiency had bloomed over wit the tasks to his plate ever increasing. But he held fast, ready to perform for his councilwoman. Her answer isn't favorable. In fact, his eyebrows come together with slight concern. "Ma'am, I believe it's better if you go before Sootopolis. The stresses of that conflict may worsen anything there is to worsen. If anything at all." But better safe than sorry right?

She had made it a point to ensure that he could. From eight to beyond five, the calendar was infilitrated by a deluge of wide blue blocks denoting her status of "busy". All courtesy of @daphnne, and her ability to fit even the most trivial meetings possible. As per instruction.

"I have, and I've seen plenty of meetings I could stand in for you as your deputy." He'd done it before no less. That's what he wazs there for after all, to shoulder the weight of everything she couldn't carry by herself. While helped her shoulder other pains, Paxton's effect is more literal, practical. He carves out space for her, allows her to breath, ligthens the load that came with being a Councilwoman in war time. She'd asked for him perosnally years ago, he knew she valued his work, beleived in it.

It's with this relationship and rapport, the familiarity of a person who gets the job done for their superior when needed, that he stresses the point once again. Least he went to personally and reorganized the schedule himself.

"The possibility of a legendary's volatility is calculated based on the initial analysis of the patron." he stated. Nothing was certain for SAPPHIRE. But certain patrons were far more unwilling to work with them than others. Gods, am i right? "It's a combination of things and we only have to go by." he said. He can't be exact. He can't promise it's true. But it's enough to be a cause for concern.And isn't Matias' PAST meltdown enough of a reason to be wary? 

"Matias is recovering well, and is under watch more often than most due to the PRIMEVAL incident." PRIMEVAL had been the final push for PROJECT SAPPHIRE in the eyes of the higher League echelons. He just wished its creator would give it time of day.

"And what of ? ? If Matias is our only sample, aren't there others SAPPHIRE can reach to first?"
[break][break]

The game of evasion was thinning with every corrador they crossed and corner they turned. Logic defined every word Paxton spoke, but she'd be damned to acknowledge it as such.
[break][break]

Why? It was hard to say. Back when she first caught onto the Chi-yu's Jade Beads, she hadn't been against conducting her own search into the gem. And yet, even at the mention of analysis, Penelope's body shuddered.
[break][break]

It was as though her entirety stood in resistance of the idea.
[break][break]

"Again, I'm not against the procedure. I just don't have the time to schedule that level of analysis, much less when there's a high possibility the outcome will be unconducive due to lack of other sampling."

" is one of the heads of the avatar studies, of course she's done it." Paxton reminded his councilwoman tersely. The professor had been pushing for more information on avatars even before her own ascension.

" has also scheduled his own studies amidst his busy amnesty schedule. cut him a break so we could conduct it." he added, going off the cuff as he tried to pressure the woman. It felt like she was speeding up. Like they were gaining speed towards a sudden end.

"I didn't say you were." he said as he kept pace. "I'm simply pointing out I can cover an hour of meetings for you to do your appointment." he said. "The risk of another PRIMEVAL is that dangerous that even if sampling leads to little results, it is still vital to our science department's research." He didn't understand the fear over a blood sample and a psych eval. It only made him believe they needed it more the more they resisted.
