sun pays little mind to the sparks as the technician gets to work, instead fully engrossed in the story they weave about the most recent drama at the workplace. sure, they had jumped a little as seven bonked his head on the desk they were leaning on, but a little jolt of energy before their babysitting job starts doesn't hurt. if anything, seems it hurt seven more than sun.

" ugh! yeah, that's the guy. the kind of person that just scuh - reams 'peaked in high school.' you have such wonderful sensibilities, seven, makes complete sense he'd give you the creeps! " sun sighs with a flare of their rays, whirring in agitation at hearing the name. then they blink. and they gasp!

" isabelle?! she's another employee, right? are you telling me there was not only romance at the workplace... " they stage whisper, almost scandalized. " ... but an adulterer at the workplace?! "

they let the revelation hang in the air for a second. for dramatic effect, of course.

" tsk, you know what? i hope it was related, and i hope she really got at him. i shouldn't say it, i am not the type to promote violence, but if that was me? if i had a guy called noah who started flirting with other employees? i would have banned him from the daycare of life! for life! there would be a stage accident, and i wouldn't even have to say macbeth to make it happen! "

" though, isabelle's no saint, either. i don't know much about her, so maybe it's mean to speculate... buuuuuut... i mean, reaaaaally, what kind of person willingly gets into a relationship with a guy so obviously like that, you get what i mean? at a workplace, too! a reasonable person knows to keep work life and personal life separate! so, give me your thoughts, seven. do you think it was her thinking she could fix him, or do you think she's just as bad as he is? "

he begins pulling at the messed up wires, light sparks flying, " and, you're my favorite bot! but, don't tell the others, alright? seven doesn't want them to get jealous~ " he says, joking, he puts a finger up to his own lips in a shushing motion as he gives a wink. he then reaches into his tool-kit for a wire cutter, with a quiet snicker. ✉️‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ " but, i guess you're right, sunny! it rests on my shoulders... ahhh, the burden of a hero! " he says, laying the back of his hand on his forehead dramatically, snipping a few wires with the other with ease. ✉️‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ " --don't worry, i really don't mind! i'll get it fixed up, nice and good, just for you! okay? " he gives a bright smile, up at sun for a moment, before finally focusing back on his work, ducking his head, under the desk... that is, until seven sits up suddenly, proceeding to hit his head on the underside of the desk, at the rather juicy gossip he'd been given. ✉️‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎ " no shot--ow--no shot! seriously? " and he laughs, rubbing his head, where he had bumped it, " wait, wait, wait. is it noah? that guy gave me weird vibes from the start! " he gestures, pointing at sun, with his cutters, y'know, for emphasis. ✉️‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ " plus, i heard him and, uh. isabelle, i think? " he rubs his chin, in thought, " they totally got into it, a big fight, in one of the break rooms or something? wonder if it's related... " ✉️‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎
