Even the idea of Amber having headaches made Ras unhappy but he accepted it with a nod. "Thank you, Inaara. As long as this works I'll be very thankful and will consider you to be a friend of my family." He smiled at Amber and kissed her forehead softly. "I know places where flowers always bloom so matter what season it is. Just tell me your favorite kind and we can get some for you."<br/><br/>Animus folded her arms as she listened to Vincent and nodded<span style="color: #b30000">. "So you want to be a researcher for me? I can tell you aren't very familiar with me. But I accept your offer. I exist to help those around me but I have difficulty communicating that and getting my technology to be taken in by mortals has been difficult." </span>She nodded again.<span style="color: #b30000">"Alright. Your research will be fully funded and we will start you out at... thirty-seven percent, with your cut increasing as your contributions increase. I have little need of money so think of that extra sixty-three percent as a possible bonus."</span>She extended a hand and nodded to him.<br/><br/>Ras blinked in surprise when she kissed his cheek and watched her rant in utter confusion but sat down to watch her.<span style="color: #006666">"Animus wants you to sleep with me? I mean, yeah, I can believe it. She has a very skewed way of thinking about some things so that makes a lot of sense."</span>He frowned a little but nodded.<span style="color: #006666"> "Well that's good, but I can and have sterilized myself. It's the general populace she needs to get to use them."</span>His frown deepened and shook his head.<span style="color: #006666">"I can't condone you going and retaliating against her for what she did. As... much as it upsets me. If you want to do that I will gladly watch though, it might make me feel better."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
