Just some randomness.

Spoiler:

Aris Faridah binte Abdul Karim's eyes widened in confusion.

There was a bobbing headful of long, luscious silvery white hair approaching, but beyond a black-clad shoulder she could see the half-concealed face of a green-eyed blond.

"Yes, the boss carries his wife everywhere they go. Don't stare, it's rude," her supervisor, Marcela Martinez, suddenly said.

It was too late. The bizarre thing locked onto them and strode over purposefully.

As it approached, Aris finally figured out what she was looking at. The blond was a young male dressed in enough green for a forest, and the silver hair belonged to a woman that was... hanging from his front by her limbs?

"Marcela, how is the progress on Ilos?"

The voice only added to Aris's confusion. It did not sound right, but she could not pin down why.

"There's a problem with Mu-R, Chief. I was going to tell you today. I think I'll need to work with Herakir and the Remivir team to resolve it."

"Please do so." Again with the weird voice. The man rounded on her abruptly, then the woman detached her right arm from its grip on him, turning to face her in a manner that should have had the man wobbling while trying to maintain his balance, and they offered their right hands to her. Aris saw that the woman had vaguely upsetting red eyes set in a face of mature beauty. "You must be... Aris Faridah binte Abdul Karim, our newest member?"

"Uhh..." Aris looked between the two hands, trying to figure out which to take first, before taking the woman's. "Yes, uhh, sir... ma'am?"

"Dr.s Yuuno and Reinforce Scrya at your service, but you may call us Chief if your gender constructs are confused," they said, and it finally clicked for Aris why the voice was so weird. It was not one, it was two in perfect synch, albeit one a Mid-Childan male's and the other a female's tinged with the accent of an archaic Belkan flavour. "We shall see you at 1400 today in our office." They must have seen Aris's body tensing up, for they proceeded to say, "Please do not worry. We always make it a point to speak with all our new hires." They paused before saying, "Also, Marcela, please try not to scare her too badly." The woman cheerily waved goodbye before replacing her right arm around the man and resettling her chin on his shoulder, after which the man walked off.

Aris turned to look at Marcela, bewilderment ever more plain on her face.

"What?"
