These Shadows Hyperactive...

“That would be incredibly rude of me, so I won’t. A movie sounds nice right about now, though… what was it you were humming? I’m sure we could watch something pertaining to that.”

“…The ceiling got cleaned up eventually. Anyway, what are you up to? Anything interesting~?”

“With much complaining from Gordon. I think he’s over it… maybe,” Zamir said teasingly. “As for me… no, not really. I just got off work and was going to lie down, but since you’re here, is there something you wanted to do?”

“I’m still stumped as to how you always manage to bypass security even though I know you’re there.”

Guntram assumed it was due to Shadow’s ability to quite literally hide in the shadows, but even then, he would have thought their military security would have upgraded to the point they could detect it. He supposed alien technology was still out of their reach.

“I’m a little busy with inventory at the moment. Did you need something, Shadow?” he asked, knowing he was behaving far too professionally when addressing his brother. He supposed it was because of his being on duty, and it was a little hard to let go of.

“Some things are better off unknown,” Shadow said, staying in his perch and watching his brother curiously. “Besides, I couldn’t bother you if you figured it out. I’ve no intention of disturbing anything, and you need the company, so we’re better off leaving it be.”

He shrugged, then leaned back - no sense in making a nuisance of himself if Guntram really was busy. “Am I in your way? I can move elsewhere if you need, but... no, I was just in the area and thought I would say hello.” That wasn’t... entirely the truth, but it sounded far better than ‘I came all the way from home just to say hi’, which was the actual truth.

“That’s too easy, though! Also a little boring.”

“Still, it would be easier. And make you less likely to startle someone. You remember what happened the first time, don’t you?”

He’s just hanging around. On top of a shelf. Watching the world from the shadows.

… And maybe humming anime theme songs to himself.

“… you can knock, you know. I’ll let you in.”

What were the snacks? An assortment of Japanese treats Shadow regularly picks up from Japan itself.
