Reaching An Agreement

"Is there any progress with finding any member of my Orphanage?"

Rey shook his head at the question.

To be honest, he hadn't even gotten to that issue yet. The Criminal Underworld was vast, and there were a lot of things to settle first.

If he didn't, things could spiral out of control.

"I figured." She heaved a sigh.

It wasn't one of disappointment or frustration, but more like her reaction anytime she got something off her chest.

"Thanks for all of this, Rey. I appreciate it greatly."

He shrugged, smiling under his mask.

In the past, he only really bothered because it was an imperative given by the System. But, at the moment, his disposition had changed a little.

'I genuinely want to help her.'

"I'll keep searching, don't worry." He gave her an exaggerated thumbs-up, which made her giggle a little more.

He still couldn't believe that the same girl he thought was an emotionless doll could display such emotions.
