"You idiot!"

"What—who are you calling an idiot!"

"You, dummy! You ruined my date!"

"Hey—! Who the hell even is this?!"

"What? Can't recognize my voice?"

"What?"

"Really?"

Shivani's confused expression was persistent, engraved onto her face as she held her cell phone to the side of her face. Her eyes darted around the room, her brain scattering as it searched for recognition of the voice.

Her furrowed brows softened and arched when she finally distinguished the person on the other line. "Aseal!", she paused for a second. "Wait—how did you get my personal number?", the woman asked, voice screeching.

"Oh please, it was a piece of cake. Damn now I want a piece of cake...", Shivani heard Aseal mutter into the mic. She chewed on her bottom lip, taking the phone away from her face. She clicked the red button, ending the call.

"Anyway, you ruined my—!", the bing of a phone call ending rang in your ear. You arched a brow, "Hello?", your arm was leaned against the wall the phone was connected to.

"Did she hang up on me?! That little fickfehler...", the pay phone in your hand suffered a tight grip at your hands. You huffed, massaging the bridge of your nose with your other hand. You put the phone back onto the wall,

You looked behind you, Alphonse and Carmen were chatting. The dark haired male was patting the woman's back, Carmen seemed to be blabbering about something, most likely the flood at the aquarium.

You sucked in a breath, calming yourself before approaching the two. "So, I'm assuming you guys wanna go home now?", you suggested aloud, crossing your arms over your chest.

Your sister and Alphonse nodded. "But first, let's get some food!", Carmen mentioned food, and you could feel your mouth watering already. "Yeah, for sure!", you smiled, uncrossing your arms and getting closer to Alphonse, hooking both of your arms again. He flinched at the contact, but he remained at your side.

'Just you wait Shivani, you're gonna get what's coming to you for ruining my date...'

"Ah...Master, what happened to your arm?", Myrym questioned, his hand motioning over the platinum blonde's cast. Shivani huffed, walking past him and sitting down at her office desk.

"Some weirdo broke into my house and left a gazillion legos on my stairs.", Myrym was dumbfounded at the information given. "Er...legos?", he repeated. "Yes, fucking, legos.", she gritted her teeth at her own confirmation.

Myrym debating on wether he should say some comforting words or just stay silent. He, cleverly, went with the latter. "I had to go to the hospital, luckily I only sprained my arm, but it hurt like a bitch.", the violet eyed woman complained, huffing and puffing like an entitled child denied chocolate by their mother.

The pink eyed male hummed as he listened to her, rubbing her shoulder as a way to put her at some sort of ease. A knock came at the office's door, bringing Shivani and Myrym's attention to it. "Come in.", the blonde woman said, waving her hand at the tall male to come closer to her.
