Nora sat comfortably in her cozy holding cell, quietly reading a book. The door slid open, and an annoyed ape in a neatly pressed suit stepped inside, carrying a tea tray. She closed her book and looked up.

Mojo: Madam…

Nora: M-Mojo! You look… well-groomed today. How’s the job treating you?

Mojo: Just splendidly.

Mojo grimaced as he set the tray down on the small round table.

Mojo: I, Mojo Jojo, have been... demoted to mere servanthood until further notice…

Nora: Really now? Any .... particular reason?

Mojo shrugged

Mojo: Fat man’s orders. Never bothered explaining why.

Nora: I see…

Nora nodded slowly before taking a sip from her cup, humming in delight.

Nora: Did you make this? It tastes absolutely exquisite.

Mojo: T-Thank you…

Mojo glanced away awkwardly before clearing his throat.

Mojo: Will that be all?

Nora: You’re free to go, dear.

She gave him a small, polite smile. Mojo quickly turned and exited through the metallic pocket doors.

Robotnik: Watch it.

Only to bump into someone waiting outside.

Mojo: S-Sir…

He stiffened immediately.

Robotnik: Ape… taking good care of my guest?

Mojo: O-Of course…

Robotnik stared at him for a long moment before stepping aside.

Robotnik: Leave.

Mojo: Y-Yes sir!....

Robotnik watched him go before his expression shifted into a wide smile as he stepped inside.

Robotnik: Nora! How long has it been since we last spoke?

Nora: Not long enough....

She crossed her arms, her face forming a scowl.

Robotnik: Now what’s with that look? Haven’t I been a gracious host?

Nora: Gracious or not! I don’t take kindly to people who hurt my family.

Robotnik: OH! We’re still on about that?

He rolled his eyes dismissively.

Robotnik: How many times do I have to repeat myself? It was an unfortunate accident. It’s not like I ordered Metallix to shoot the little alien through the chest.

Nora: That “little alien” has a name, you know.

She shot him a sharp glare.

Nora: Y/n.

Robotnik: Right… Y/n. My mistake.

Robotnik moved his gaze away from the huffing woman.

Nora: You should really get that little devil under control. Then again… I wouldn’t expect anything less from you than creating a monster like him

Robotnik: Oh, you’re one to talk.....

Robotnik muttered as he began to pace around the room.

Robotnik: Especially with that erratic robot daughter of yours. I mean honestly who programs a machine with the emotional instability of a teenager? Too much emotional baggage in my opinion.
