There was a long moment of silence before there was a muffled, “Evher.” Another pause and a much more clear, “Enter,” sounded, Calloway’s voice sounding intently focused.

She had popped the cap back in her mouth as she continued to work with the optical cable. Tool in hand, she gave him a quick wave and went back to finishing the capping of the fibre, her focus rather intent. Faye had put away anything classified already before she started this work, so all he’d see is the cables and a stack of computer chips on one of the tables.

Hammor looked around and whistled softly. “You sure know how to make yourself at home, don’t ya?” he said with a chuckle. He walked over to where she sat on the floor and eyed the connection she was making and then looked away and at the table. Without a word or an inquiry, he simply picked up the crimping tool she would need as soon as she got the cap in place and held it out to her.

Faye set her splicer down and worked the cap on, taking the crimping tool from him with a smile. “No one ever complained about me being lazy. Besides, I have to do all this tedious work before I can get to the fun stuff, so might as well just jump in.”

“So…” he said looking at nothing and trying to appear as if he wasn’t at all curious about what was going on, “… you gonna have time for a quick tour and a bite? Or should I reschedule my multitude of social engagements and try and kidnap you some other time?” He wasn’t quite sure why, but the thought of her saying no actually made him a bit disappointed.

Her stormy grey-green eyes glittered with amusement as she began gently coiling the length of cable to be stored properly. “Threats of kidnapping and the prospect of ruining your social life… I don’t know, sounds like it might be on the dangerous side for both of us if you spend any more time with me than necessary. Then again, I doubt either of us have ever really played it safe in our lives, so why start now?”
