"How are you feeling, lovely?"
Chilly and Naika were finally allowed to see Kira, almost ten days after the spat he had with the doctor woman. He had to admit to himself that he almost ran to the room where Kira was held, so excited was he to see her again.
He was also agitated. During the time they waited, he had been researching. He looked back into Kira's records, thinking it was the best place to look for clues first. Her records did say that she had a sister in the Org, a sister named Karin, but that was it. He found no other reference to the Karin girl, not even basic statistics, nor did he see a mere picture. The employee's database was a blank with regards to the younger sister. It seemed strange to him that there would be only one reference to someone, though.
Unless, Karin wasn't some simple employee stamping documents in a corner of some obscure office department. The next line of thought disturbed Chilly so much that he pushed it in a corner of his mind, not ready to deal with it yet. Besides, there are more important things to focus on.
Right now, he had to focus on Kira. It was a huge relief to finally see her again, albeit she still looked a bit pale. "I am fine," was Kira's reply, looking at both her Handlers with a small smile. "I've been told I can be released tomorrow," she continued.
"Whew! That's a relief!" Naika said, cupping her chin in her hands and resting her elbows on the bed. She regarded Kira with an arched eyebrow. "You have NO idea how boring the past few days were!" Chilly almost choked in his laughter. He and Naika both decided not to ask about Kira about what happened to her yet. Especially in the medical facility, where definitely there were cameras looking in on them.
Chilly eagerly clapped his hands, making the women's heads turn to him. "I have an idea!" he said, grinning. He started tapping Kira's head and arms as he spoke. "Let's do a makeover on you! Goodness, you have no idea how itchy my hands were to fix your hair! And look at your skin, darling, it's already dry! It won't do at all!"
"IF we're allowed to," Naika said as she rolled her eyes. She personally detested makeovers. "I've heard from the other teams that we've been getting more than their fair share of missions. We'll be given one soon, I'm sure."
"I think I can ask Papa otherwise, even for just a day," Kira said, her eyes contemplative. Chilly wanted to whoop in joy. If she can cajole the Director into allowing them a holiday, no matter how short, he can probably ask get more information from her. He just hoped she won't collapse if he probed her about the strange symbol.
He just allowed himself a muffled squeak and a sudden hug around Kira's shoulders. "That would be wonderful!" he cried, smiling at Kira's surprised blinking. He clapped vigorously once more and raised his arms in delight. His head threw back in exultation.
"I can't wait! A girls' day out!"
Naika dropped her head on Kira's bed and sighed. "Oh boy," she muttered.
