Wren watched Novak leave. It wasnt like her trying to stop him would have done anything. He was so confusing to her. Why did he reassure her before he left? He didnt have to do that. He could have just left. It didnt make any sense to her at all. She carefully moved over to Doctor Gear then, fully expectant to see what Novak was doing. But it didnt work out that way. She knew there was way more to this then she knew. But it couldnt be helped. And now even doctor gear was accomodating her. He was saying things like 'we' and including her. None of it made sense to her. "So. What now?" She couldnt help but ask.


Vinyl shook her head and waited for him to leave the room before getting up. She kept the cigarette in her teeth and went into her closet. Scoffing to herself, she pulled on BenDaws button down shirt, only buttoning one button between her breasts. She emerged from the closet then and went straight for the sushi. "Are you not eating BenDaw?" She asked as she started pulling food out of the bag.

Gear sighed. "Well I guess he's going quiet so he should be fine. But he still could've let us see what's going on." He said frowning. He didn't understand why Novak was so adamant about doing the job. "Anyway. I'd like to see if there's any way I can actually help you."  He thought for a moment. "How long have you been a mask?" It seemed like a basic enough question that wouldn't cause problems.


"Oh um. I was just gonna get your laundry in the washer. I need to know where the flowers are going and what name the hospital has T-man under." Ben said with a furrowed brow. He was trying like hell to focus on work not the fact that she had her naked torso in his shirt. Or how revealing and sexy she made it look. "I already had breakfast this morning."

Wren moved about the kitchen calmly cleaning things up. "For almost six years now." She answered easily. She didnt mind answering any of his questions. She knew people had to be curious about Masks. Especially since so little was actually known about them.


Vinyl rolled her bright eyes as she sat down. "How can you turn down sushi?" She reasoned with mild disbelief. She unpackaged the chopsticks and held them together in her hand before stabbing a piece of sushi. He seemed to be really struggling with this job. If she had to guess he wouldnt last long. This was the easy stuff. How could he handle the hard stuff when he was already having a hard time? It wasnt going to go well. She stuffed the sushi in her mouth hungrily before digging through the bag for sauce packets. He had gotten some of every kind. Smart kid. She bit thr metal packet open with her teeth and snuffed her cigarette from her hand before dumping soy sauce over everything.

Gear frowned. "May I ask how old you are?" He said looking at her. He wanted to know why she became a mask to begin with. (What events in her life led her to this point?) He wondered.


Ben chuckled at how Vinyl was eating the sushi. "Do you want me to teach you how to use those?" He asked grinning as he collected the last of her clothes

Wren smiled easily at him. "Twenty five. Or so im told." She answered easily. She was amused he thought he was going to offend her. She couldnt think of anything he could ask to offend her.


Vinyl cocked an eyebrow at him. "People only use chopsticks properly in public to impress people." She reasoned as she stabbed another piece and put it in her mouth. "You know out of all of my assistants i have to say you smile the most while touching my dirty panties."
