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.

[If only that were true.]

Dealing with certain items within the business tends to take up most of the time.

Oh?

Yes. And I assume you have never experienced that.

Sure I have!

So what kept you busy?

Work-related issues.

What kind of work-related issues?

... What work do you do, anyway?

Issues. I do not need to explain them any further.

I run a business. I oversee all that needs to be done for the Xino E. Mao Corporation.

Come ooooonnn....

The Xena Meow huh corporation?

Xino E. Mao. Do you ever listen?

Same difference!

And I listen plenty!

I would say otherwise.

Aww, that's okay, Mr. Xemmast! Everyone makes mistakes.

So what's your corporation all about?

It is simple: we help people, defending the weak, providing protection and escort services whenever it is needed.

How'd you make a business of that? Couldn't people just go to the police?

We have resources the police do not or cannot provide.

...Like what?

We have those who have experience with and know how to handle the Darkness, for one. There is also availability, flexible hours - that sort of deal.

[HM HM]

You have to pay, I guess?

Of course. Unless you were expecting these services for free?

The police does it for free. [Oh look at that, she's baiting you] Plus those superhero guys! ... Or they're supposed to, anyway.

[Oh why, Maya, why.] The threat does not contain itself to one specific area in the city. Even with the forces combined, they cannot be everywhere.

I'm just saying! That's kinda flimsy to build a business off of.....

... Well, maybe with the right advertising...

And what would you suggest?

.... That kind of good information won't come for free, you know. [LOOK AT HER BUSINESS SKILLS]

[Oh goodness. What. What is she doing. Ay.]

Is that so?

[He knows what she's doing. He just. Gives her this wry smirk.]

...I expected as much.
