Valo's looking through files on some of the old Paradigm agents his parents told him about. Currently, he is going through the C's, skimming through files on Jimothy Clavish and Aaliyah Cross.

He'll hear a rustling at the door. If he looks up, he'll see a girl open the door and look over at him, suddenly surprised.

"Oh, uh, sorry. I can go..."

She points with her free hand to a nondescript area outside, and starts moving in that direction.

"Oh. Uh. No need," Valo says quickly, shutting the file on Clavish and standing to his feet. "Plenty of room in here for more than just me, yeah?"

He smiles, then motions to the cabinets in the room. Valo won't chase her out, but he figures he might as well make the offer.

If it looks like the girl won't leave, Valo offers her a spot near his own.

"Y-yeah, sure," she says, pausing a moment but decided to step through anyway.

"I was just reading about the, uh, the robots. What are you here for?"

She takes the proffered spot next to him and peeks over!

"Oh,the robots? Scary stuff. I'm just looking over people my parents mentioned working alongside, trying to get a feel for what agents are usually like and what they go through."

She'll see the closed Clavish file and one on her mother that's open.

"Some of these things are... Insane."

She spies the file, tries (and fails) to stifle a grin.

"Oh yeah? What are you learning in that one?" she offers, inquisitively.

"Not a lot I didn't hear about when Dad got to talking about the place," Valo shrugs, staring at it.

"I hear she was a hardass though. At least she stuck to her guns."

She chuckles. "Oh yeah. She calls it like she sees it and there ain't a thing you can do to get around that."

She smiles warmly. "Couldn't ask for a better mom."

She reaches over him and starts leafing through the dossiers herself. "So which one of these is your pops?"

Valo chuckles, scratching the back of his head. At least he didn't say anything too embarrassing.

"Ki Joon. You'd find him under Kim."

He just goes back to memorizing Clavish's file as she looks, but the grin is pasted onto his face.

"Way I hear it, your mother didn't like my father."

She snags the files and looks through it, trying to put a face to the name.

"Oh yeahhhhh, he was one of those goof-offs she used to go on about. Punk-ass teens who thought being a superpowered soldier was just some kind of game."

She glances back at the boy with a wry grin. "So'd the apple fall far from the tree, or...?"

"Sounds like Dad," he laughs.

"Me? I'm not a soldier. Not by any means. All I'm here for is to learn how to control my power, and that's it. What about yourself? Hardass? Something involving glass? Anything like that?"

"Well," she looks around her shoulder at her butt at the comment and grins.

"I'm... well. Not a soldier in name only, really." She shrugs sheepishly. "But if you're talking powers, I'm more, like, proto-glass."

She shakes an arm over him, and he'll feel a light dusting of sand sprinkle out onto his page.

"By the way, I don't feel like we've properly introduced ourselves yet. Zora Cross," she'll say, extending that arm for a handshake.

Valo glances too, but only because she does. He actually looks slightly embarrassed that he followed her gaze, and he shakes his head.

"Fancy," he catches a bit of the sand. "Manipulation, or are you straight-up made of the stuff? Either way I could probably turn you to glass full-on, but... it'd be hard on the both of us."

He grins, taking her hand and shaking it firmly. His grip is warm, but that's the only hint she'd get as to his power so far.

"Valo Davies. So far, seems like it's a pleasure."

She reacts a little oddly to his initial comments. "Turn me to glass? Sounds kinda painful," she grimaces as she returns the firm handshake. "I'm not exactly made of it, but I can turn into it and manipulate myself, at least."

She shrugs, leaning back a bit and looking back over at him.

"Valo, huh? That's a cool name."

"Can you feel pain in your sand form? That'd be a downer. I can't like, morph your form, I'd just heat you up and science handles the rest."

He closes the last file and puts the two back where he found them, figuring he got enough info for the moment. He'd need to go through F later, but that can wait.

"Yeah I'm named after one of my dad's bros, or something. What about Zora? Legend of Zelda or what?"

She tilts her head and smiles, having not made that connection before. "I never thought about that!"

She shakes her head. "But no, it's short for Zoharin. And a little easier to say," she notes, her grin slowly fading.

"And, uh, I don't really know, about the pain thing, I mean. Never had much of a reason to so far."

"... We can't be friends if you've never made that reference." He's not serious. Maybe. "Yeah, let's stick to Zora."

As for the pain part, Valo shrugs.

"I mean, we can test it if you want, in a very light manner. Not actually hurting you or anything, I'm not that batshit crazy. Just like a temperature test, if that makes sense?"

She regards his offer for a moment, concern flashing across her features.

"No, I mean, I hear you, but I'll pass. I don't really... feel like doing the dust thing, right now."

She lowers her head a little.

"So dude," she says after a slight pause, lifting her head back and looking over at him. "What do you do to keep from getting crazy bored around here?"

"Ah, for sure. Totally cool."

Slightly awkward. Valo looks away for a moment and scratches his head again until she speaks up.

"Depends. I'm not really the super party guy or anything, usually I just sit around and build things all day. Though, I don't figure that's something you'd be super into."

"You build things?" It seems to catch her interest, at least. She leans forward a bit.

"Like, sculptures?" She tilts her palms up slightly, offering a guess.

"Nah, like tech. Used to be just computers but now I do little bombs, and guns, and stuff."

Sounds like a huge jump, but Valo just nods like it's not a big change.

"I mean, if you're interested I can show you some stuff. But I recently had someone tell me I'm too much of a tight-ass and need to get out more, so you can take any of my suggestions with a grain of salt. Or, maybe the whole shaker."

"Bombs and guns? Now we're talking," she laughs.

"Know what? Yeah dude, I'm down. Do you keep them in your secret tech lair somewhere in the basement?" She waggles her fingers at him, laughing.

The laugh makes Valo laugh as well! He never expects many people to share his interests, or at least humor him.

"Yeah, I got them in my secret lair." He leans in and whispers, grinning. "If, by secret layer, you mean my bag that never leaves my side, anyway."

A small chuckle follows suit as Valo slings his bag over his shoulder and stands. He moves to the door, holding it open for Zora to follow if she chooses.

"If I show you anything in here, I'm bound to get kicked out. You might by association, too, so it's prrrobably a good idea to head outside."

"A secret lair that's also a bag?!" Her eyes go wide in mock-amazement. "What wonders will this world have for me next?!"

She grins and accepts the open door, letting Valo lead them off to wherever he planned on his demonstration to occur.

"There's a world of mystery in here. Trust me on that."

Still grinning, Valo leads Zora out to the nearest grassy area, where he fishes in his bag for a set of clusters.

"Now these," he holds up small spheres, roughly six inches in diameter. "Are like those badass freeze bombs from the Batman Arkham games. Try it."

He hands one over to Zora, then points to a tree.
