[ And Ivan doesn't want to be a table any longer than he has to. However, he listens carefully to Castillo's words. She really is being nit picky about the details of the NDA. He wishes he could signal to Pao-Lin that something doesn't seem right. As the shapeshifter and resident spy, Ivan has learned a thing or two about not being too obvious when trying to do something. What's her game?
Lane drums his fingers over the top of the table. "If you would like to think more on the matter, you may do so outside my office. I do not want to have Mr. Mills and Miss Roth change any other plans they might have had today because our meeting went long."
Ivan can't see from his angle, but the tension in the air makes him think Mills and Roth are shooting cold looks in Castillo's way. Castillo shuffles her feet and quickly scrawls a signature onto the paper. "I'm so sorry. How inconsiderate of me. I need to remember that not everything needs to be analyzed like a school report." Her nervous laughs fill the rest of the silence.
"Now that we have that matter settled..." Lane is eager to continue and regain control of the meeting. "Ms. Summers, please bring out the that lovely portfolio of Stern Bild natural habitats. We're thinking about doing a new project to protect these areas. One in particular."
Pages are flipped, and it's Summers' voice that speaks next. "There is a school with an invasive bird species that the government is wasting precious resources on. We're thinking of lending a hand with destroying the pests."
The table lurches and elicits a few gasps and questions about earthquakes from the others in the office. Based on the words they said earlier, there is only one place their next target could be.
