Moving in
Eggman walked away without another glance at her, something that both disappointed and relived Isara, and most of the others ignored her as well. Opting instead to sort what was left of the 'Work camp' into something useful…though the platypus was side-eyeing her.
Not knowing what to do Isara just…sat there, as everyone moved around her. She was sort of safe now? These people definitely weren't with the Empire, and she so wished to examine 'Metal' and the other machines, but they didn't really seem like good people either.
…But they did get her out of
that place.
She hoped the others were alright. Welkin, Alicia, Largo, Rosie…she wanted to see them again, but that wasn't going to happen if she just kept sitting here!
…
What should she do though?
"Ms. Gunther?" Isara started before turning to a tan man with a smooth smile. He extended a hand to help her up. "I'm Agent Stone, I'll get you situatied."
Lacking anything else to do she took his hand and followed him.
–
"This is where we all eat, although that's informal more than anything. It's more like a gathering place."
Stone was a pleasant man, right to the point and patient with her questions, but there was something…different about him.
"This is hanger there isn't much in here at the moment but the Doctor is working to fix that."
Like right there, when he talked about Doctor Eggman. It was barely different at all but there was a hint of…frevor.
"This is the meeting room, when the Doctor has something for us to do he'll call us here."
It almost reminded her of General Damon for all the man's many faults there was always this light in the man's eyes when he spoke of Gallia.
"This is the Doctor's workshop. Make sure to knock, and don't intrude if you can help it."
That same light was in Stone's eyes, though minus the arrogance and hopefully the foolishness.
"And this is your room. That concludes the tour did you have any questions?"
…That kind of loyalty is almost unheard of. If anyone would know what Mr. Eggman is like it'd be him.
"Yes actually." Stone raised a polite eyebrow, as she figeted. "What is Dr. Eggman like?" Even if the man isn't good, that doesn't mean he's bad either. She needs to know either way.
Agent Stone rubbed his chin with a hum. "The Doctor is…a Great man. He has a vision that encompasses the entire world even if not everyone sees it. He may be difficult to deal with but his pride is rightfully warranted."
He waved a hand to encompass everything. "He ruled a good part of this land before everything happened, and even after losing almost everything he's already moving to take it all back."
The Doctor is a dangerous man then, he almost sounds like… She put a smile on her face and tilted her head as she folded her hands. "He like sounds a genius."
"He is."
"...How does he treat people?" She's almost afraid of the answer but she needs to know.
Stone hesitated. "I…don't know the Doctor as well as I'd like, but he doesn't seem to think much of humanity." He looked at a Burrowbot as it rolled by. "His closest companions are all machines. They do their jobs as well as he made them and never blames them if they fail. He is much harsher on the living."
"...He sounds like a sad man."
Stone shook his head. "The Doctor is stronger than that…but I'm not sure you are wrong either." He winked at her. "Just don't say that in front of him, he does have an image to uphold."
Isara giggled, though her smile fell as Stone left her.
Eggman…she isn't sure what to make of him, but at the very least she owes him, and the Empire is their shared enemy. He doesn't seem to care about her heritage either. So there's something at least.
Hopefully they'll be able to work together all right.
