releasing his albeit flimsy hold on her, he leans back in his chair lifting his cup of coffee that had been steaming at his left.
❝ though while i have you here, i suppose you can inform me some on your little news internship. how is that playin' out for you, hm? ❞
a modicum of surprise flashes over his eyes at her sudden rejection. had a bit of his disappointment over its contents shined through?
was that a frown on her face or is that just how she looked normally... he could never necessarily discern.
Tango looked over at her haul. She eyed over her left hand, front to back, like there was something on it. If anything was there, it was sure to be invisible.
She watched Corvus look over the book, and soaked in every little expression and movement of his. […]
while not necessarily knowing her wants for it particularly, arkha understood better than most the desires to want to know more about their world. truly.
her knowing the true intent of this organization gave her intents firmly in that camp, for whatever reason that might be.
he slides it back over to tango, eyes closed thin and smile unwavering on his features.
❝ you certainly can keep it for yourself, i see no issue with giving my permission. just make sure to check it over with semiu so that she can make a copy of what's in it. ❞
he had only looked up from his paperwork for a moment at who came into his office unannounced.
when it was his expected arrival, eyes wandered back down to checking off and signing the current document he was working on before sliding it aside and the unfinished into a drawer.
a gloved hand slides over to the book and carefully picks it up. with an expert patience, arkha skims through the well-eroded pages, eyes gleaming over any still capable of being read over.
only a few minutes pass before a hum of undiscerned emotion, before he closes the book.

𝟜. his private quarters within the cleaners has a book shelf similar to his office/study, wherein he keeps his much more personal and high importance texts. semiu keeps telling him to quit taking stuff from the cleaner's archives. he doesn't listen.

𝟛. can not stand the taste of anything carbonated. ironically this works out in his favor 'cause he is incredibly gassy. think about arkha corvus burping or farting for two seonds. done? horrifying, wasn't it?
