"Boss," Blanc spoke up all of a sudden, as they left the lab some time later, "Do you have any other appointments scheduled for today?"
'Appointments scheduled.' That sounded so… professional. As if Lane were some kind of CEO, rather than a boss of a secret, illegal organization. And a very chaotic, borderline careless boss at that.
But that was Blanc, after all. He came from a corporate environment, and probably still saw himself as some sort of manager or something. Well, if that made him feel fulfilled, then whatever.
As for Lane's 'appointments'… Did another bloody date night with monsters count? Probably not! Not that Lane was going to skip on that - he dragged himself all the way to Forbidden Zone No. 74, so he might as well have some fun while here! - but it could afford to wait a bit.
"I have some time now," he said. "Why?"
"In that case, would it be alright if we returned to the office together? There's something I would like to discuss with you in private."
