Sabe heard Pen's mini-speech to Skotti and Luciano and smiled in approval. Maybe Pen wasn't bad after all.
Sabe got up from the stair steps and headed over the main area of the lobby and sat down near Pen.
"To add what you said...if we're all going to bicker over what was going on previously, we wouldn't be doing anything to help the current problem at hand, would we? We know who or what we're after, why we're after them, but we still haven't quite figured the 'how' and 'when' bits of it."

Luciano kept himself buried in his notebook, he suddenly he remembered he had a deadline due in two weeks. He wasn't too worried about it though, not right now at least. Instead he just kept writing. He sighed and then brushed some of his hair away from his face, he pushed up his glasses while he finished off his second paragraph.

"Ugh," Pen let out as the boss and the capo left. Really they are starting this now?
Pen put her face in her hands and didn't see Sabe until he sat down next to her. She let hands fall onto her lap and gave a sigh before turning to Sabe. She gave a small smile seeing that Sabe was no longer giving her the cold shoulder.
"Your right. We have a target but no way knowing of this Mortimer next move. My guess, taking in the account he was allowing the chance innocents getting shot in board daylight, he might be willing to do anything to get Waffle. I would expect a kidnapping." Pen fell back into the couch. She rubbed her eyes and gave out another sigh.
"Do you have an idea Sabe? Maybe there is more to this than I thought." She looked worried but didn't that affect her state of mind this time. No reason to get sappy now.

Sabe gave Pen's words a thought, then replied.
"Hm. I certainly know that sticking to a single idea will never work out right for problems like these. We ALL need to come up with something and figure how we could apply it and when."
Sabe paused for a moment, then continued.
"Throwing in my two cents, we can't do much if we're loud and boisterous in our conduct. Skotti's television appearance was good enough of an example of what we shouldn't be doing, especially now because we're going against the Gaia Military. They probably have a good number of people who specialize in surveillance."

"Yes, our next moves should be careful and under the radar. Unfortunately our leaders here have a tendency to forget that." Pen's face contorted with thought.
"Which means explosives are out of the question." She wapped Rom in the chest, remembering his early comment. "That will sadden the Blinding," she said with a sigh.

"It would be out of the question anyways. If the Gaian Army was to take anyone hostage, then what? Sure, blowing up a building after saving someone is logical, but there isn't always an opportunity for it. And if anyone quits out on a mission simply because there isn't anything they would enjoy in it, then that would be very.....pathetic."
Sabe glanced off toward the garden, then back to Pen.
Oh, how I wish I had the tactical skill like Waffl- er... - Madam's father had...
He snapped out of his wishful thinking, sighed, and continued on with what he was saying.
"I'm just hoping that them two out in the garden can pull themselves together. Now certainly isn't the time for anyone to be thinking about glory..." he said, his thought trailing off without him.

Luciano was a bit calmer now. He closed his book and then stood up to go walk around a bit. As calm as he was now, he was still a bit angry.
". . .I don't even want to think about it.", he thought as he walked around.

"In the end we always pull through. Deep down everyone here sees the mission first and their own needs second." Pen looked at the entrance to the garden.
"They aren't looking for glory, they are looking out for Waffle." Pen said in a light tone as her smile returned. She looked back over to Sabe who seemed to being going down a familiar road Pen had once traveled on.
"Just like you."

Michelle turned over, expecting to see Luciano sleeping soundly. But to her surprise he was the first one up instead of her. She closed her eyes trying to recall her dream but couldn't. She didn't dwell on it any longer when she got out and stretched walking over to the balcony to get some fresh air.

Luciano walked about a bit more, he looked up a bit at the sun but when he did he saw Michelle up on his balcony. A smile crossed his face and he walked to where he knew she could see him. He waved a little bit at her as he stood in the direct line of sight.

"Well, being sent to another dimension, popping out of an orb, and having everyone staring at you isn't what I call a proper introduction. I don't know them too well." Sabe said with a hint of sheepishness.
The comment about him looking out for Waffle did strike a note though.
"And as for me looking out for Waffle...it's kinda my job to do so and at the same time it isn't." he stated vaguely.
He almost bit his lip for making the minor slip-up of not referring to Waffle as 'Madam' anymore. But then again, he wasn't supposed to really be doing anything unless it was taking orders from whoever he's assigned to. Waffle had been very lenient with it, so to Sabe it was now as if he never was a servant.

Michelle smiled once a cool breeze blew. Resting her arms on the balcony she looked down, her smile brightened when she laid eyes on Luciano looking back up at her, smiling shyly she waved back at him.

Luciano kept his smile, he threw down his notebook and pen, took off his black robe, and then he proceeded to climb up the lattice that was nailed to the side of the building. It was a rather difficult climb, he slipped once in a while, but he managed to finally climb to his balcony. He climbed up and tightly clung to the stone railing. He still had his smile and he said softly, "Hey there, little lady." he said playfully.

She let out a soft laugh, "you know you could have gotten really hurt, is that what you wanted so i can take care of you?" she playfully asked.

Pen smiled and closed her eyes as she laid back. "You have to give us some slack. The last thing we thought was the existence of a different world."
The eye closest to Sabe opened and she added, "Is it really a job to worry? I believe your are more concerned for your friend Waffle, then Madam Waffle."
She closed her eye again and let out a sigh, "I'm sorry if it looks like I'm prying. You don't have to share anything me, just letting you know what I think."
