IX. [Video]

I'll go along, no such sight to be shown,
But to rejoice in splendor of mine own.

[The feed continues as Xemnas closes the book he has in hand, glancing up at the NV after a moment of pause.]

...There is never a dull moment.

[In the background, across a desk full of paperwork, a cat stalks elegantly until she decides to settle right in the middle of it all. Apparently it doesn't take much to keep her content. For now.]

Perhaps one can even call it 'eventful' - a fitting pace for a city such as Siren's Port. It is typical considering the demographic of the populace. [Of course, he then considers what he has recently heard/seen on the Network.] Then again, I suppose it varies from person to person.

And, like most, I still find myself busy with all that has been happening. And I do not expect anything less.

Uh-huh. Right. That'll be easier said than done.

_{[He actually tries to pay attention to everyone in the Purg. Whoops.]}

Whenever it is most convenient.

Maaaaaaan, now I'm gonna be on edge. You ain't gonna wear a disguise, are you?

I see no point in disguising myself if I am to make an appearance.

[ninthserenade]

I guess you got a point there.

_{[A beat.]}

Y'know, this means I get to call you out and pick a song just for you.

[Here, a brow arches.]

Is that part of the routine?

[ninthserenade]

Nope, not really. Just recognition. 'sides, ah...

_{[He pauses, then leans closer to the NV to whisper.]}

Publicity too, yeah? For the company? I mean, if people start hearin' how outgoing the head honcho is, it'll help spruce up the image a bit!

[Another noticeable pause is given unintentionally. Because what Demyx says is quite brilliant.

Was there a brief change in his expression? Nah. Maybe it's just the lighting.]

Yes. This all sounds...very good.

<sub>[Now that's what he likes to hear.

He doesn't really like busting out the scheming side around the higher ups, but if it helps himself out of a jam? Sure thing.]</sub>]

Wear something casual, okay? Leave the suits 'n ties at home.

[A faint smirk plays upon his features after a few seconds, gold eyes still trained upon the Ninth as this is done.]

...If you so insist, Demyx.

[He possibly can stand to see this side more often.]

_{[Yep. Those eyes still send chills down his spine, but he's doing his best to keep the nervous look pushed down by masking it with a small smirk of his own.]}

See you there, boss.

_{[It's a secret to everyone. Sort of.]}

[Well-kept enough, anyway.

The Superior only nods in return, letting the feed end there between them.]
