"You, as well," Hiro said as Dahlia sauntered back off, as easy as she'd arrived. He remained sitting for a moment, contemplating the new addition to their forces. An interesting cat, that one.

He shook his head. Possibly a little strange, but still interesting. He'd see her around, as she said, and be able to judge if she was of use to the Negaverse. Clearly someone had thought so, to recruit her, so for now Hiro would trust in the judgement of those above him - at least until they made an error in his view. Then it was game on.

"What was I doing?" he asked himself. The surprise visit had shaken his plans right out of his head. "Oh, yes."

And then Hiro was slinking off in a different direction to Dahlia, leaving the corridors of the Negaverse feline-free... for now.
