@lethalhacks asked: is that blood? | the umbrella academy pilot script starters [ accepting ]
Discomforting realization stiffens her narrow shoulders, leaning her back in her oversized office chair, and so sounds the leather stretching. Crystal blue eyes scan side to side before falling to the stains dotting the sides of her black dress. It takes a keen eye to spot blood on black fabric, and while her skin was washed clean of the red and her blazer discarded, the time to change into a whole new outfit was lost before work hustled her away.
❛ It’s… it’s not mine. ❜ The director’s usually confident voice falls away in a sigh coinciding with the rigidity lost in her typically pin straight posture. The hands clasped and resting on the table’s top unhinge, and fingers of one rise to press against her forehead. ❛ It’s one of my guard’s. It happened on our way to the Waterfront early this morning. ❜ Arrival at the port to meet the lead shipping coordinator for an inspection was interrupted before reaching the wall which reinforces Arasaka’s property. ❛ Our convoy was caught in the crossfire of some gang disruption, ❜ head shakes, eyes close with another sigh.
Her guard was hit when returning fire from the back window. Nothing like applying pressure to an open wound bright and early in the morning to set your day. ❛ Luckily, he will survive. ❜ Thank goodness, as it always causes her quite a fright to lose one of her own. Expectations after are to act as if it’s all in a day’s work, to carry on as is ( with blood on her dress ). Though, that’s never quite the case. ❛ But Night City’s charm continues to wane thin. ❜ Not that she found it existent to begin with.
