[ Akobi glares, but the fight has gone out of him. He knows when he's beaten, and when his world views are considered in the minority. ]

Maybe I will. [ The printer spits out its last page. ] There's your report.

[ And there's the door. ]

[h2no]

[he takes it, mightyena getting up and trotting back to archie's legs as he turns to leave.

wordlessly.

right.

just leave. leave the room. without doing anything stupid.]

What's your problem with me?

[nope, that's-- nope. archie even knows the answer to that, he thinks! damn it.]

[ralltiir]

[ Akobi sighs. So much for getting out of this interaction cleanly. ]

I think I've made my thoughts on the subject perfectly clear. You're sloppy and reckless, and incapable of taking anything seriously. You set a bad example for the public to follow. You've been given power and influence, and yet you squander it on-- on tiny plastic ducks!

[ The ducks may have been rubber. Akobi doesn't care. It's the thought that counts. ]

[h2no]

I thought I made it clear those were given to me by someone else. I did what I could with them.

[he makes a mental note to leave akobi the same gift in his export will.]

Listen, I'll take reckless and not taking anything seriously, [he says, taking a few steps towards akobi.] but if you call me sloppy again--!

[ralltiir]

[ As Archie steps forward, Akobi stands from his desk, chin leveled, back straight, standing at his full six foot two height. ]

Is that a threat, agent?

[h2no]

[he clicks his tongue irritably. he has to look up at akobi like this, but it doesn't bother him.]

Nah. Not even an opening strike either.

[ralltiir]

[ Silence. Staring. Disdain. ]

...Get out of my office.

[h2no]

[the expression that crosses archie's face-- a smirk that comes from knowing he's touched a nerve doesn't leave as he waves a hand, sauntering out. mightyena shakes himself off before following archie out.]

Your printer's still on. Try not to commit any war crimes when you go to turn it off!

[ralltiir]

[ Akobi just yanks the printer's power cord out of the wall. It makes a sad blaring beep before dying. ]
