Fen took the Rubik's cube without a second thought, but had absolutely no experience with such a thing. She'd tried to solve one before, in the past, but her patience had given out before she'd finished one side and she'd ended up rearranging the stickers so all the colors matched instead. So she toggled the cube a few times before returning them to the position they had been when Cyz had handed it to her, and paid attention to the exchange instead.

"No problem," Zanipher had said smoothly, although she did raise one eyebrow at the perceived rudeness.

After hearing the soldier's explanation, Zanipher accepted the signed form and shook hands firmly with Cyzarine.

"I appreciate your cooperation, Miss Bluthardt," came the standard reply. "I hope you have a nice rest of your day."

Zanipher folded the paper and slid it back into her suit before turning to Fen.

"So, are you ready to get going? I bet your parents are eager to hear from you."

"Sure!" Fen handed the puzzle back to Cyzarine. Since no deadly threat had cropped up during the meeting, Fen was now eager to really meet this enigmatic Ms. Hei'An, who had a direct relationship with her parents. At last her questions would receive complete answers, and she would soon find out how crucial her existence would be to the continued success of a thriving business network. For now though, she stood up to follow Zan out of the room.

The two females exited the ballroom with the two bodyguards following closely behind. they had brought nothing of significance into the room with them other than what was already on their persons, so they were able to disembark quite smoothly. As they walked, Zan noticed two young women standing near the top of the stairs, both poised and bearing an unusually serious expression.

"Excuse us," Zan merely said as she went past them.
