she makes quick work coming into the office, taking brisk steps towards the desk and only stopping a fair way from it. the albino gives a small smile in response, and maybe it won't be too nerve wracking today.

holding the clipboard in front of her, ruby red eyes gaze down at the contents to read off a few notes. "well.." she starts, gently tapping a nail against the surface "alexander stone has returned to devon, and there's word of him once again trying to overtake in influence" according to what she's seen with numerous news sources. as for something less covered by the media..

"the older sister, daphne stone, has also returned to hoenn as a lawyer. there's also been talk of her considering a position in the council with her brother, but.. i can't confirm it."

FERNANDO SILPH

harsh with words, as always. by this point, she doesn't expect anything else (though a fair fewer insults would always be much appreciated, in her books). thankfully, she was blessed with a wonderful pokerface, that came in the form of a small smile following his words. certainly, he had things to say.

and sometimes talking to him felt like she was standing at death's door.

there was a part of her that wanted to voice her own concern, having kept an eye on the other stone the few times she's gone out to socialize. though for the time being, it most likely wouldn't be of much concern anyways. after all, the biggest thorn to the side was the brother. as for the youngest.. she had no information, and therefore nothing to report on.

... but she still couldn't help but to giggle, the tiniest bit, at the condescending nicknames he gave the sibling duo.

either way, she pulls the pen from the clip on the board to make a note of his words. let glass know about alex, keep an eye on daphne. "noted. lets see, what else is there..?"

she pauses, then gently taps the clipboard again.

"ah, right! i have received some messages last night, regarding the littleroot casualties. the recent volume of the HNN has cast suspicion on you and a young girl. are there.. any plans to take care of that?"

FERNANDO SILPH

he tells her to ignore it, but there's a part of her that's reluctant. mainly because despite his words, she's noticed how they've started to rise in notoriety (whether that was a positive thing or a negative thing? results were yet to be seen).

but she, ultimately, decides to drop it. responding to his question, she shook her head and cast her full attention back on him, rather than her thoughts. "nothing at the moment, no. what do you need me to do?" she asks, pen out in the scenario where she'd need to make a note.

FERNANDO SILPH

she makes haste and picks up the pace, walking ahead of him then patiently awaiting when he walks out of the office. then, into the elevator, she prepares the pen and paper ready for whatever he'd need done. and.. knowing him, she imagines that it'll be quite a bit. not like she could complain about it. not like she'd be given the chance (she knows that if she does, he'd tell her to "get out of my sight", effective immediately, more eloquently).

thank the lord that she was already ready, because he started with no rest in between. concise, while also walking at a brisk pace she was somehow able to keep up with. maybe it was just her adapting to a faster paced life she's gotten herself into, nowadays. what surprised her was the fact that fernando, of all people, was planning to take a vacation. it was something she could ask the details on, later.

everything else regarding the athletic activities went without saying. she diligently jots down the important notes, only using the time of rest in between to properly detail them while she had the chance. "understood. i will contact them as soon as possible." she keeps a hold on her pen, in the event that there was anything else. but, of course, before she forgets -

"will your siblings and relatives be joining you in sinnoh? how long do you intend to stay for?"

FERNANDO SILPH

of course it'll be for his pokemon.

she felt foolish for assuming anything else, and only maintains her small smile while nodding her head. "understood." there's a brief once over the list, that she knows she'll have to get to working on. she knows that fernando himself wouldn't be able to directly work on these-- no. he would be able to. he just didn't have the time to, and would rather not waste his time on it when he could pay someone else.

... speaking of pay, she did want to ask about raising her pay. but whenever the thought crossed her mind, the sight of the ceo himself was enough to vanquish it. partially out of fear, perhaps. ah, it would be nice to have a vacation and go sight seeing the tropics. she could see many things, like.. like a wingull. she's never seen one of those before.

she's gotten everything down, especially some of the more important details. "i'll make sure to free up your schedule and have your vacation arranged as soon as possible." she walks him up to the door and, as a final question, chirps up through the footsteps and people.

"is that all?"

FERNANDO SILPH

she lets out a sigh of relief upon his departure, though it was more quiet if anything. silent on her end, where she was trying to compose herself.

'are you okay?' the woman at the desk asks, picking up the slightest bit of residue tension from the secretary. to which she only smiles and nods her head, apologizing, then heading back up to her office to begin working with what he needed done.
