Adenine became a bit more calmer as Kasumi spoke so carefully, the words not seeming painful at all, but Adenine slipping behind the Fuhrer's chair, still a bit seen, but not so much anymore. The smile helped too, since she was able to smile back softly, not in a good position but feeling a bit safer now for some reason. Kasumi had to be a really good person to make her feel this way with just a glance and a smile. There were so many papers to be gone through though, and Adenine could imagine the terror that had to be, since she liked doing paperwork sometimes, but the amount Kasumi had would just give her a headache most likely. Moving with the other so she could stay behind her as the other sat down, she watched the door open and a woman walk in, the door closing so promptly she wondered if she should be here. Listening to the words, she was a bit confused on why the woman has said that when the other had seen her, drawing in a silent breath of air as suddenly the woman was someone completely different, the change incredible to behold for a person who avidly studied human alchemy.
The person now, whom she could not tell if it was a girl or a boy, she thinking boy but unsure, just looked annoyed, her aquamarine eyes showing her concern, this person still feeling sick to her. Wincing at the language that was now being spoken, but pondering why the other had addressed Kasumi like that and why she had suddenly become a problem. This was in general confusing, but with Kasumi a few inches away, she was not panicky like she might have been in another situation, watching the other cross his arms and address her again without actually acknowledging her, a bit embarrassed to be her now, her head tilting down, her very pale skin developing the slightest tinge of pink, but there being really only one question she wanted to ask. She turned her attention back to Kasumi, realizing that she must have been carried, and that meant the Fuhrer could change her form, into something animal-like from the sounds of how they were talking about the incident. The idea of the man killing Kasumi though made a shudder rush through Adenine, since that would not be something she would allow.
This was too much information to take on. She was not quite sure what the man was, having a feeling about it from her reading, but not having confirmed it yet, and then now doubting the Fuhrer was human if she could actually transform how she assumed she could. This time she had found trouble and gotten herself into the middle of it and at this point her sister would only be scoffing her and telling her she should have been more careful, but doing the best to help. Ty however was still sleeping on the top of the hat stand, the tawny feathers motionless, the sleek bird's head tucked under its wing and the razor sharp talons dug into the wood. She was shoved up against the wall then as Kasumi pushed the chair back and continued looking for papers, what she assumed the exam could be, quite a bit overwhelmed by all of the implications that had just been given. Now Kasumi started talking again, realizing the other person they had to be talking about was Edward, being spacey sometimes, but she was incredibly intelligent for a person her age, well studied but lacking in common sense.
This entire time Joy had been announcing she did not like the man in the strange clothes by the door, Kasumi's smart remarks nearly amusing, the softest smile creeping onto her fair child's face, not liking the idea of what she was hearing about executing Edward, but the relationship between the man and Kasumi could not be good with such comments, still wondering exactly what she had stumbled into here in the way of plotting, since these things might not be things she should hear. The smile from Kasumi was reassuring once more, more papers being shoved around and ruffled through, much of it human alchemy. It was no great wonder that Kasumi kept people away from her office usually, since most of what was inside the desk in itself could be dangerous, wanted by many, and in general incriminating. Finally mustering up a bit of the courage she held, and the hope she might get so answers, she also hoped the metal was not showing through the torn fabric on her back as she stepped forward, looking to the man with great amounts of curiosity.
She had suspicions from her parent's notes and books what stood before her, but she was unsure. So the strangest question in all of history was probably about to be asked, or at least if put into context it could seem incredibly odd, Adenine taking a few more steps forward softly and looking up to the man, her voice very soft, her light clothes of white moving gently with her, the light gray leather glove that went all the way up to her shoulder nearly out of place with how light colored her skin and hair were, her form showing her inquisitiveness.
"Umm...Sir?...How were you made?"
Accompanied with the words was a little head tilt, trying to verify what she was thinking but having the highest hopes that the other would actually know, for if she could create a human body, she could put her sister into it and everything would be better, for maybe her answer was standing right there, although as she got closer to the man and farther from the Fuhrer her feeling of unease increased for some reason.

Edward frowned, watching the girl slip by. Something was amiss about that woman. He had never seen her before. He tilted his head from above in his perch nestled flush under the roofing of the headquarters. She walked and held her posture more like a man. He had already gotten over the shock of knowing that Kasumi was a homunculus. He had sensed something amiss with her before, but never got the chance to research it.
There were seven sins. If he was right, two had just been walking around Central. He needed to contact a higher official. One that would hopefully believe him. As much as he was pained to say, whatever the two sins were planning couldn't be good for his immediate welfare. Therefore he had to seek help.
Where in the hell was Al anyways? It had been a while since Ed had seen his brother.
Shaking the thought out of his head he constructed a plan. A simple plan. His commanding officer would believe him...maybe. Hopefully. Ed grimaced, it would prove to be very frustrating, but then again he was right about the last Fuhrer being a homunculus, that had to add a point to his favor.
Now. He would contact Mustang and then search for his brother, the whole time remaining discreet so as to not attract the homunculi's attention towards his activities.
The sad thing was 'discreet' wasn't exactly in Edward's vocabulary.
Frowning again he watched Unknown-Homunculus-Number-One disappear down the street. There were seven sins. Like he said before; Greed, Sloth, Lust, Gluttony, Envy, Vanity, and Wrath. Wrath was to young, though he could pretend to be a girl with his hair. Lust was as girly as you could get, he didn't know of a Pride or Vanity so 'it' was ruled out. Gluttony was to stupid and fat to act like that, besides; he would be eating all the people in his way by now, not just walking away calmly. Greed was a guy, period. That left Envy and Sloth.
Ed cringed. It wasn't Sloth. Sloth was instantly ruled out, so Envy must be this mysterious man-woman. He certainly had the looks, but it seemed he had transformed. Duh.
All speculation of course. He would leave out this detail when he spoke to Roy, didn't want to overdo himself, besides that could just be a cross dresser that might be the Fuhrer's long lost neighbor.
Yes. He would wait before saying about Envy. But the Fuhrer was a more important matter.
Besides. Even metioning something so horrid about the Fuhrer could result in some heavy punishment, but Ed knew Mustang would either laugh him off thinking him insane, or actually believe him. He wouldn't turn him in, after all, he was right once.
Ed waited until 'Envy' had stalked completely away before jumping lightly down from the rafters and ran inside, sidestepping the different lieutenants that were currently snapping to attention as he walked in. He ignored the greetings and went straight for the phone booth.
Hopefully that b*****d of a colonel was working for once.
Frowning Edward typed in the phone number, glancing over his shoulder to make sure no one was eavesdropping.
---
The girl watched quietly as Envy stalking past, watching her. She repressed the need to glare back at his insistent staring, but he left soon enough. Honestly, what was so weird about a girl wandering around a military HQ?
Snorting to herself she pulled back some of her hair behind her ears and continued forward, walking down the passageways. She paused, something sticking out. Something drew her down this hallway. Something good, something sweet, something gentle and caring.
She paused glancing over at a short figure that was currently cursing profanity at a phone and shaking as if he wanted nothing more than to punch it.
This boy was her angel.
Smiling a ghost of a smile at finding her angel she quickly trotted over and stood behind the boy, watching the way his ponytail swung back and forth, releasing energy. She studied the pattern on his blood red attire and saw the brilliant white gloves that he had pulled over his hands.
He was in to much of a frenzy to notice her, but that was alright. She could wait. After all, one doesn't meet their angel everyday.
--
"Damn phone ate my quarter.." Ed muttered to himself, before taking three shaky breathes to calm himself and pushing another quarter in. As soon as he did his old one popped out of the bottom and the phone ate his new one. Edward bit his lip to keep from screaming out in annoyance.
"Normally I don't believe in God, but someone up there is seriously trying to stop me from contacting Mustang.. Alright. You want to be that way?" He asked furiously, not quite realizing he was having a heated argument with a pay-phone. With a enraged glance at the machine he popped in the quarter it had spit out. Low and behold, third times a charm.
Smirking to himself he dialed the phone again, not noticing the little girl that was patiently waiting and admiring his backside.
The phone rang for quite awhile. Ed's patience was near an end by the time Roy answered the phone.
"Hello? Colonel Mustang here."
"Hey taisa. This is Edward." Ed stated softly into the phone, hunching over so no one else could see him. There was a pause.
"What is it, Fullmetal?" Roy replied soundly from the other end of the reciever.
"I need to tell you something, and I can't say it very much or else I'll probably get locked up." Ed stated, smirking as he clearly tried to make Roy annoyed.
"Yes. What is it?" Came a disgruntled reply.
"Listen, because I'm only saying this once and you can believe me or not. I think the fuhrer is a homunculus." Ed stated in a rush. There was a dramatic pause on the other end and Edward tensed, ready for laughter or a sharp command.
"Can you prove it?"
"Um. I saw her change into a chimera and back again.." Ed stated slowly, "Plus I have reason to believe she is contacting others like herself."
"Well.." Roy stated, clearly thinking hard on the other end of the reciever, "Hang low and observe everything, I'll look into it."
The line went dead before Ed could reply with a 'Yessir.'
Sighing with relief Edward clicked the phone back onto the pedistal and tried to get his money back, but to no avail. He turned around sharply and nearly trampled a young girl.
She glanced up at him with creepy eyes and he glared down at her as she smiled a vacant smile.
"Hello mister. You are my angel."
Ed nearly fell over. Supressing a urge to kick the girl across the hallway he trembled for a second before peering down at her.
"Do you have any idea who you are talking to?" He asked crossly.
"Nope." She replied happily, and then attached herself to Ed's leg.
Grumbling Ed returned to the Fuhrer's office way, a footstep then a scrap was the pattern of his walking as Mara had attached herself like a tumor to his boot.
At least she wasn't heavy.
Kicking the door open with one foot he dragged the girl into the office and blew back a strand of hair from his face. His ponytail in dissaray.
"Who the hell is this?" He asked snappishly, gesturing to the perisite that had become one with his human foot.
Mara just smiled cheekily up at the Fuhrer.
"Ed my angel."

She winced once more as the man called Kasumi Vanity and saying he would destroy her friend, usually timid, but if these were the creations in her parents books, then she had hope to make a new body for her sister and fix the mess that had happened because of her foolishness. They would not believe Edward either, but she was definitely not going to give them away, not ever, since it looked like the trouble she had fallen right into was in fact a blessing from the winds in disguise, finding what she had needed to find, the very proof that success was possible, which that was something not in her parents' journals. While she should be afraid with the realization she was in the room with living, breathing, deadly legends, once more her nearly non-existent common sense factor was getting in her way, hence why she had come so close to something that could do so much harm, her not even knowing the danger she put herself in at times. But she did wonder what the preparation stage was, and what it had to do with now, and how the future would work out, still keeping a perfect hope that things could work out.
Not stepping back but looking rather amazed as the man turned back into the woman that had escorted here earlier, getting a look that confused her because it was of confusion, realizing she had just said something silly and now looked genuinely sorry. Staring on with those aquamarine eyes she had that could nearly be jewels, somehow completely overpowered by the creature before her, not sure what to call the Sir or Miss, she shook her head softly at the born part. Her parents notes clearly outlined how to make a human, the materials required only partially mentioned, but the requirement of power massive. But how was she like Edward, for from what she had seen, they were very different people, were they not? How was he involved in all of this? She had too many questions and if she could ask them all at once she would. Freezing up as the person she decided was a man leaned down to her, looking rather passive but unable to move, she had what she had figured out confirmed, believing what she was told to the fullest extent, not the part about that all she needed to know however.
Once more at the mention the other might come back, her ever soaring hope rose higher, sure that these people would be the way to help her sister, if she could just find out how they had been supposedly born. It made absolutely no sense to her though, since many of her parents' notes had said they could successfully make a human being, just no mind, but a perfect body. She had his sister's mind and spirit, so all she had to do was recreate the rest. The preparations were not really her concern however, having a specific task she wanted to fulfill, not wanting to be so much in the way. As the other left she turned back to Vanity, or Kasumi, or the Fuhrer, so many other names to call her by. She was confused, but there was really nothing she could say, except one thing. The person most of her questions had been for were the man, but Kasumi might know as well, coming back to the side of the desk, her motions careful so she did not disturb a single paper, she looked still very passive, the lack of emotion unusual for her, but the question more incredible then her last one.
"Um...Kasumi?...How were you born?"

Kasumis ighed a bit annoyed by Envy, though glad he had left. She set her papers aside. She rose up standing up straight giving a glare at Adenine, personaly she didn't know how to answer the question. It began to bother her, she knew through alchemy, and that was it. Nothing about how alchemy gave her this body, or anything like that. She softly sighed and shook her head.
Kasumi turned her head to Edward and looked at the girl clinging to his leg. She raised her right eyebrow a little bit then pointed her right index finger at the girl attached to his leg.
"Fullmetal why did you bring her here? Why didn't you leave her at the door?

Adenine as she received the glare simply collapsed to the floor, sitting now, her back against the wall, tears welling in her eyes. What had she done wrong? She had not meant to hurt the Fuhrer, who looked very insulted, she had not meant to do anything wrong and she was sorry, more sorry then usual. It had been a stressful day and by all accounts she still had a fever, a hacking cough, and was sick to the point she had fainted earlier that day, and the readjustments on her wings had not been done yet. Therefore Adenine was not going to be in her good state much longer, but so much had happened so quickly, and she was so close to having the answers she needed. Looking back up to Kasumi, tears streaming down her face, built up emotions tearing themselves down, she supposed the look meant the woman she followed, the homunculus that she would gladly call friend and place her hope for the future in, did not know. That also meant by Adenine's thinking she would need to find the man again, the one that changed shape, and give him her questions, hoping for answers, since no written material seemed to have the answers she needed.
The door opened then, her aquamarine eyes coming up from the floor, her arms around her knees, curled up there, looking like a pile of white silk. From her snow white hair and paper pale skin, the white light materials she wore, and the lightest gray falconry glove and simple sandals, she could look dead, besides the glittering tears and the torn dress shreds. It could look like she had been beat up, thrown around, and so many conclusions could come from this. If things were not happening so quickly, she would have smiled to see Edward again, since he had been so nice to her earlier, so helpful, the girl though, that was probably younger then her, but older looking by comparison was nearly directly across from her, Kasumi stepping in front of her so she was behind a woman whose pose indicated she was annoyed, angry, or not wanting to be talked to, someone who wore power like a cloak. She was recovering from her little outburst, having the mind of a child, and probably because of her power and at the same time handicap on her back, she would stay that way.

Mara looked confused and Edward snorted slightly. He wasn't in the mood. Grumbling slightly he backed up a bit until he was half in the doorway and half inside her office, Mara on the outside of the doorframe.
"There, happy?" He asked exasperated, before letting his gold eyes linger down to the girl with the white hair. She looked pretty upset, the Fuhrer looked even more upset. What happened.
"Um.. could you help me or something?" He asked weakly as Mara nustled into his leg, wrapping her arms and legs around him.
"My angel, my angel Ed." She sang softly , rocking her head back in forth to rub up Ed's leg making him go ridged with shock. Who the hell was this girl?
"Angel. Were are your wings?" Mara asked softly, pausing her rubbing to glance up, her hair tossed around her chibi face. Ed nearly melted.
"Um. I left them at home."
"Oh. What color are they?" She asked softly, not seeing the other two in the office.
"Erm.." Edward stated, shifting uncomfortably and shooting Kasumi a glance that stated 'please-help-me-I'm-going-to-die'.
"They are metal, huh?" Mara stated, before Edward got out a reply, she nodded as if to secure that fact before rambling on again, closing her obsidian eyes gently as she invisioned her angel with metallic wings.
"They would be light, so you could fly. But magical. They would be strong, and you could stop the shadows from coming. Then you could maybe come and play with the other angels.. but your hair is the wrong color. It needs to be black. Your hair is long. That is good. Let's go home so I can see your metal wings. Metal Angel."
And so Edward was dubbed. He cursed under his breathe. He had a weak spot for tiny children that clung to his pant leg and rubbed their face in his leather.

"I feel sorry for you Fullmetal, and he's no angel that's for sure. Trust me kid, he gets into a lot of trouble. As for wings, I don't think they have any his size."
Kasumi snickered, Ed an angel. With a small yawn Kasumi streched her arms up in the air arching her back some as she yawned, then lowerd her arms and stood up straight again looking at Ed, still a little annoyed by his actions. Appearntly neith of them seemed to get the message.
"Anywho can we hurry this up if possible. I'd like to go home and rest for once. Also I meant at the front door. "
Kasumi softly sighed, she could use some rest or just some time to relax, either would work. Just as long as she wasn't stuck in this place for much longer, day in and day out stuck in this office was starting to bother her. Mostly because she ahd just had to talk with Envy. God how she hated him.

Edward visably flinched at the 'size' part and snarled slightly, but restrained himself from launching over and attacking the Fuhrer. Or rather, Mara's attachment to his leg prevented any quick sudden movements.
Mara glanced up, her eyes clouding with anger.
"No. Ed's my angel. You shut up." She stated with venom, "You evil.. evil.. thing.. you aren't even human you-"
Ed reached down and clamped his hand over Mara's mouth, only withdrawing when the girl tried to bite it.
"Heh, heh.." Edward stated with fake happiness, "Isn't she cute.. well.. I guess I'll get out of your hair. Adenine, you look horrible, come with me and I'll see if I can help you." He stated, growing softer at the end.

Adenine was half watching the problem with Edward and the younger girl, her delicate hand slipping up to hook fabric over her metal wings and make sure her waves of hair fell over it until she could get a good look at the alchemic circles that covered the metal and glass to see what her sister had changed. Edward was a kind person, for earlier when he had been with the officers he had been a rather violent person, but now he was not taking his annoyance out on a little girl, a hopeful sight, then again, many things were filled with hope. She herself was recovering from her outburst, a little bit dizzy and she still had a splitting headache, but suddenly the world was seeming better again, her dreams and thoughts never weighed down by the world for long. It was uncomfortable for her with everyone talking about metal wings, Kasumi knowing, but it might be best if no one else found out, since one person was one too many. The Fuhrer was annoyed again however, making motions to get everyone out of her office, guessing it was too late to take the exam, the papers apparently missing.
Her brightest bluish-green eyes looked up again at the sharp words she heard, once more confused because the girl could not possibly know that Kasumi was not what she looked to be, confused on how anyone could say words with such hate and strength, still in general confused, but happy and yet sad that Edward put his hand over the girl's mouth, since no one should be obstructed from expressing themselves, but she had been saying such horrid things. The world was a little off balance at the moment, but she snapped back to the world as Edward addressed her, smiling very softly and wiping what remained of the salt water on her face. Padding softly across the room, her right shoulder visible through the ripped fabric, she came over to the hat stand. The tawny falcon who was very hard to miss, the feathers moving softly as she breathed, very dangerous looking talons rooted in the wood, she softly poked her sister with her left hand, the next reaction instantaneous. Ty snapped right around and dug her sharp beak into the thick leather falconry glove that Adenine wore for good reasons on her left hand.
Ty seemed to glare at Adenine sleepily, but the scaled feet of the large bird stepped up onto the glove, moving up with crisscrossing steps to the middle of Adenine's arm, right above the elbow. It was obvious why she wore the big, yet tight fitting soft leather glove now, the light gray leather protecting her fragile skin from her sister's unintentional wrath. Walking softly back to Edward so not to further disturb her sister, who looked rather annoyed in her bird way, golden eyes looking over everything with nearly an unconcern, Adenine bowed softly to Edward in thanks, her sister's tawny feathers in extreme contrast with her own white and gray. Also bowing to Kasumi, she spoke softly, her voice still shaky, but she was already feeling better.
"Thank you ma'mm...May I come in the morning to take the exam? I am very sorry for the trouble I caused, and if there is anyway I can make it up to everyone, please let me know"
Stepping behind Edward so she could follow him, giving him one of her soft smiles that seemed to light up the world around her, rarely leaving her, her composure was back and they could leave to wherever, just as long as she could get a chance to repair herself.

Walking for about 30 minutes Envy/Eliza looked over her shoulder to see if there was anyone in the area. Seeing that there wasn't, envy cut across into the allyways. He continued walking, Meanwhile thinking to himself."Hope this plan doesn't go haywire.there's going to be hell to pay if anyone screws this up...". Cutting across the alleyways Envy finally arrives at his destination, an abandoned Building that seemed to be in the outskirts of the city. Also noticing that the area was locked up tight, Envy leaps into the air and Lands on the other side. He continued walking and Feeling the wall. Finding the secret compartment Activated a secret door into the establishment. Going down the hall He walked passed two doors and Entered the one labeled,{Do not enter: authorized personnel only}Upon Entering He was Greeted By a warm comforting sight of Gluttony all bloody and Lust with her arms crossed Looking towards Him."So Lust, Looks like Gluttony got his hands on Yet another Human..heh heh heh...We had a little bit of a problem in Headquarters, Vanity and Edward had a Little bout and Vanity Idiotically Changed into a chimera not only In front of the brat, but this other girl I was forced to... escort". Turning His head towards Lust, Knowing how eager she was to find out what was going on In Headquarters.
Lust uncrossed her arms, Uneasy about what Envy had just told her. Sighing She replied. "If The Elric Boy Gets wise about Vanity Being a Homonculi, this could put our plan in Jeopardy... And what exactly started this?" "Well they were fighting over that Girl that I was escorting.. Don't know why,she was a frail little Human. Pathetic really, And when I finally spoke to Vanity the Girl was still there. She asked me How I was Made. That little Brat..." "She said what?!"Lust was shocked how Care freely Envy just said that without even caring for the fact that she Knew what he was."We'll have to Keep a close watch on the Girl as well as The Elric Boy" "But vanities already..." "Vanity's not trustworthy Enough, She maybe Playing as Fuhrer, but acting like she has been lately Gives me Doubts about How Worthy she really is...Envy...I want you to Keep a Close watch on all three of them. "Yeah....Sure..." As Envy then Pouted out the door Heading towards the Main control room."I dont think even Envy can Be trusted...It must Kill him not being able to Kill Edward.....But we need him for our plan...If we Are to Become human...We need the Philosophers Stone. And In order to make the Stone,we need the Boy to Be our little Puppet... but I wonder...... what Importance does that Girl have With Vanity...Envy Said that Edward and Vanity Fought over her....She may not be so Pathetic after all...just need to know what Vanity knows about her.."A small smile came across her Face, Looking towards Something." But We have almost everything in place Gluttony.After that, Phase two can Begin..."She stated while Gluttony with an empty expression on his face, Crackled an evil Smile of his own.Then they Both headed Out of the Building.

Edward glanced back at her with concern, looking her over quickly and analyzing ways that he could help before nodding once and starting off out the door. The girl still clung, but she watched Ade with a new intrest each time Ed left his leg behind before dragging it forward again.
"You have a metal wings." She stated softly, her eyes wide as she clung onto Edward's leg like a second foot. "You are an angel. Who's angel are you?"
She then smiled like a racoon finding a mouse and waited until Ed left his leg behind to take a step with the other before speaking again.
"You are Ed's angel." She stated, and that was the end of the conversation. "Edangel."
Edward rolled his eyes before kicking another door open, the door to his dorm.
"Alright." He stated turning to glare at the little girl, "Time to get off me."
Mara just nodded and plopped off, sitting on the floor happily.
"Why didn't I think of that before.." Ed mumbled to himself, letting Ade come in before shutting the door behind. "Who is the bird?" He asked as he went into the bathroom to grab some towels and water, clicking a button that heated tea at the same time.
He was quite gifted with multi-tasking.
Mara was proud.
He would be a good angel.

Kasumi sighed softly, getting slowly more annoyed with the young girl that had been clinging to Ed. Her right foot tappered on the floor as she crossed her arms. With a soft sigh she turned to Adenine and her sister, though she still found it hard to believe. Maybe it was some weird joke or something.
"Okay, where will you be at? Since I most likely have a few extra copies of the exam at my estate. So I can bring it to you when you are ready then. "
Kasumi stopped tapping her foot on the ground and went behind her desk, grabbing her purse from under the desk and few files that she needed to take home anyways. She went up to Adenine and placed her right hand on Adenine's left shoulder.
"Will that work with you?"
Kasumi decided for now to ignore Ed and...the annoying girl who had been clinging to him. Seeing as how she was a bad mood, and they didn't make it better. Though she had learned to hide things about her, so hiding her bad mood wasn't hard at all. Her purse strap held in her left hand as well as the few files, which where rather smalll files.

Looking back to Kasumi, still seeing the other was annoyed enough to snap, she stayed fairly silent, now a bit off to the side of Edward, since it was obvious the Fuhrer had something else to say, Ty clinging to the leather that cover Adenine's entire arm, even part of her shoulder, looking a little odd, but at the same time it was hard to imagine her without the light gray leather on her arm, it giving her a nearly cuter look with the different proportions. Glancing to Edward at the question Kasumi posed and getting a nod of approval, since nearly anyone could greatly influence her decisions, quickly giving Kasumi her answer.
"I will be staying with my friend Edward for a little while ma'mm. I don't want to bother you, but first thing in the morning I can come to you and see about the exam. If I hurry tomorrow I am sure I can make the second exam normally..."
She watched Kasumi ruffle a few more papers around and taking a bag that could nearly double as a briefcase, and then nearly backed up as a hand was placed on her left shoulder, the shoulder where the glove was, the warm hand resting on the soft white cotton between her pale skin and the leather of the glove.
She breathed for a moment, her senses tingling with how she had felt around the man that shape-shifted, finding a common trait between the woman who towered over her and the rather intimidating man. They both felt sick, not like they were bad, but as if they suffered some kind of illness and needed help. Did all of their kind feel like that? But, she nodded again, a very soft, polite motion that indicated respect.
"Yes ma'mm, whatever would work for you best..."
Bowing again softly, since she really did have great respect for the woman if what she had pieced together of the chain of events was correct. Kasumi was in a bad mood and it looked like she deserved a long rest, so with that both she and Edward, along with the girl whom she did not even know whom was, moved down the hallway, Adenine following along almost at his side but a little behind him, looking rather concerned about the girl and Ed both, and a hand having slipped up to her right shoulder to make sure no metal was showing, thinking she had the cloth of the torn dress pinned up enough so certain objects could not be seen.
Still slowly moving down the hall, their progress impeded by the other girl, she found the girl gazing at her, her own aquamarine eyes that could be jewels staring back now with curiosity and worry, not quite sure what was wrong until the dreaded words were spoken. Why did the other have to say that? Maybe Edward would not notice, maybe he would think it to be nothing, maybe she would not get discovered for being odd. And Adenine knew she had been cornered, like a little snow rabbit by a ravenous wolf as the little girl spoke up again, both still watching each other and Edward looking annoyed. Even then, a stranger thing happened as she was given a title of "Edangel", her cheeks turned slightly pink, since that was not a proper thing to say unless Edward said it, and it confused her like nothing else. Walking slowly behind Edward into a room that she guessed was his in headquarters, it being neat since she supposed there was housekeeping services, she partially closed the door softly behind them with indecision, making sure not to move her left arm too much or her sister would undoubtedly bite her.
The glare was sharp, her breath nearly freezing in her lungs, but the little girl barely seemed to notice, Adenine being reminded of how she was before the accident, actually remembering such a time when life had been a perfect dream. Edward walked around a bit after depositing the girl and then fully closed the door, Adenine now having her back to a wall just so no glints of metal gave her away. At the question, since she really did have a perfect trust for her friends, and Edward was a friend, she let Ty down on a bar that might have been for coats, talons clicking on metal as Ty adjusted herself and then fell silent, nearly asleep instantly. Padding across the floor softly, her light colored gray leather sandals by the door; she followed Edward since he had left the door open, and her fair child's face showing how sorry she was for causing trouble. Ed was a good person, so maybe she could tell him, and that would help her to feel better and not so bottled up. Her back may no longer be against a wall, but perhaps he would not notice.
"Can you keep a secret Edward?"
