"This is boring." huffed Zeek as he stared at the monitor in front of him. Why did he volunteer in a surveillance night job in the first place? Boredom? He didn't remember. Of course, Ishiro thought it was a great idea when Zeek tried to backtrack, the traitor. He continued to stare at the monitor, shifting in his seat before something was suddenly thrust into his line of sight, making him blink.

He noted that it was a water bottle with the MONARCH logo on the wrapper. He took the offered drink, glancing and saw that it was Vivienne.

"Why are you still awake?" Zeek asked as he unscrew the cap and took a sip of the water.

"Last minute work. How's everything here?"

Zeek just grumbled for a moment. "I will get Ishiro back for this, the traitor."

"And how will you do that?"

"Easy, he's not allowed to read any of my theories for a week."

Vivienne snorted at that. "Yes, I'm sure that will teach him."

"Of course, he likes my theories too much." Zeek joked. The other rolled her eyes at him, shaking her head.

"So full of yourself."

"That's blasphemy, Vivienne!"

"I'm sure it is." She deadpanned. "Have fun with the rest of your shift."

"You're just gonna be leaving me to my lonesome?"

"Yes."

"So cruel. At this rate, you'll never find yourself a boyfriend!"

"Good."

"...Oh wait, I forgot. There's Ishiro-" Zeek felt Vivienne lightly tapped him on the top of the head, making him snicker. "Night."

"Good night." And Vivienne had walked off, leaving Zeek by himself. With a sigh, Zeek took another sip of his water and settled in his chair for the rest of his shift.
