Similarities (Kassandra & Marcus)
Finally getting away from her team, Kassandra places her laptop down at her desk in her room, plugs her mouse in and moves the pointer to a shortcut on her desktop. She double clicks the icon, which looks like a blueprint and has the name of Application Data but as a few dots appear on her screen, a login screen opens up and soon she's entering her user name and password to her favorite massive multiplayer online game she's played for such a long time.
World of Dragons. The giant MMORPG she has played for many years and still the game she would log on five nights a week for at least four hours a night to raid with her guild. Unfortunately for her, since taking this job with her brother she has had to tell her teammates that she wouldn't have the time for raid with them but that didn't stop her from still logging in to do her daily quests, throw more stuff on the auction house and say hello to her online friends.
Just as she's placing her fourth stack of health potions on the auction house to fetch even more gold, a soft knocking which she doesn't hear followed by foot steps behind her back catches her off guard, "Hey Kass?" a masculine voice asks out.
With her heart jumping out of her chest and her right hand flying to behind the screen of her laptop, she immediately forces it down, shutting the laptop completely before her head snaps around wide eyed and looks at her leader of the team, "H-Hi Marc!' she shoots out in a panic, "W-What's up? C-Can I help you with something?" she belts out question after question.
Dragging his toe across the ground, "I came to make sure you're doing alright. I mean, Samuel can be forward and kind of a dick at times and I want to make sure all is well with you..." he starts his sentence and he generally does look concerned, "The conversation seemed to upset you slightly as I saw your face go flush so I figured I'd come over and make sure all is well..."
"W-We- Uhh..." the red head stutters before regaining her focus, "N-Nah, I'm fine." she half grins, "I know Sam can be a dick at times but I shrug it off, it is what it is." she lifts her shoulders up, telling the older man that it's all good.
Staring at her for a few moments, Marcus analyzes the situation, watching her stiff body expressions, her void-like gaze and the look of shock in her eyes, "If you say so..." he folds his arms across his chest, "Although if you ever need to talk about anything, I'm always available, I hope you know that?"
"Of course!" the words escape her mouth almost immediately.
"Anyway..." he drones that word on, "I suppose I'll leave you be then." he slowly turns his body around and begins to make his way back to the door to leave the twins room.
Kassandra can't help but watch him like a hawk as he takes step after step out of the room, she doesn't know why she's so on edge because everybody has their hobbies and games they like to play but for some reason, her boss catching her playing a MMORPG when she said she was going to work on an assignment was getting the best of her.
Reaching for the doorknob, Marcus grips it but doesn't turn it at all, he hesitates for a brief moment before turning his head around across his shoulder, "Curious..." he starts as his brown eyes connect with the still aware blue ones of Kassandra, "Was that World of Dragons I saw you playing?"
Does Kassandra lie or tell Marcus the truth?
