I Need Her Alive

Irene sits on the couch of their team room, "Room BC - F". Dalie came in from a different room that seems to be her office.

Dalie: "Alright listen Irene Vale-- where's Evelyn?"

Evelyn: "I'm right here"

Evelyn just got out of the bathroom.

Dalie: "Ah there you are. Anyway, I just needed to inform you two about tomorrow's "test""

Irene: "Am I gonna have to fight someone?... Or something?"

Dalie: "Oh you knew already? Alright I guess I won't have to go through the trouble of explaining it to you. Honestly I don't know what or who you'll be fighting but I'm guessing it's a monster of a higher dangerous level than usual. Since we're going to find out what that Vale Blood did to you and your abilities, it's only equivalent subject to test it out would be a very highly dangerous monster"

Evelyn: "Like the Humanoid ones?"

Dalie: "Eh? How did you know?"

Evelyn: "I just so happened to eavesdrop on you talking to the Higher-ups. I heard they're expecting some really eye catching results. And that you'd be paying half of the expenses to cover the amount of resources that took to run that experiment on Miss Vale. Only if the results doesn't meet their expectations that is"

Dalie: "Well aren't you nosy. You know saying that infornt of Irene here would only put more pressure on her right? Don't worry miss Vale, even if I happen to have to pay for half of that project, rest assured that I'd be able to pay it with no problem what so ever. Not! at! all!"

Irene: "O-okay... (I feel like she's trying to tell me something else here... )"

Dalie: "This way Miss Vale. Our driver is waiting"

Irene: "Right"

As they walk in the hallway, Evelyn gets closer to whisper something to Dalie.

Evelyn: "You know that if it turns out that the blood barely did any changes to her ability, you'd be sending her to a suicide mission, right?"

Dalie: "I think you're suggesting that we should use a weaker monster first aren't you?"

Evelyn: "Yes"

Dalie: "Sorry, I also suggested that to the Higher-ups but they did not back down on their word"

Evelyn: "What?"

Dalie: "I think they're desperate to have another ace card in the back of their hands. Vartia has been suspiciously active as of late after all"

Evelyn: "..."

Dalie: "Hmm... I tell you what, I'll give you the permission to interfere with the test if things ever go south. How's that sound?"

Evelyn: "Deal!"

Dalie: "Alright!... Say, why are you so concerned for that woman all of the sudden?... Gasp! Don't tell me... my little Evie is finally getting the butterflies in her stomach?"

Dalie teases her quite childishly.

Evelyn: "What the hell are you talking about? I just need her alive for something I need to look into"

Dalie: "Whatever you say then~"
