"I do enjoy jigsaw puzzles. They're a good way to keep me occupied. Is that why I chose 'Puzzle' as my codename? Hmm...perhaps?"

Puzzle stared mindlessly out the window as he sat at a table in the cafeteria of the Rhodes Island landship, his messenger bag resting on the floor at the feet of his chair. Alone as usual; it never bothered him, really. He was used to the isolation back in his college days. Other Operators surrounded him, talking and chatting with one another as they sat at tables and ate together. The room was filled with noise, and the young Vouivres man sighed to himself.

....how strange things turned out. One minute he was an intelligence worker in Victoria, the next he’s under contract with a pharmaceutical company. It wasn’t a bad deal; he was an Infected, after all. He was getting the treatment he needed while working, so it was just another job. Then again, it didn’t really seem like he was working. Many of the higher-ups and medical staff were holding him back from going into battle. They said he couldn’t control his Originum Arts well enough, and he overexerted it which could cause his Oripathy to infect him faster. So for now, he was benched as he learned to handle his Arts better.

Puzzle glanced at his right hand that was on the table. The small, familiar black crystals spotted his skin. Oripathy....to think he was one of the unlucky ones. Well, at least it brought some excitement into his life....he’d probably still be stuck in classes in Victoria if he never took the offer to be an intelligence officer...

Sighing, he ran his hand through his hair as he scratched at his dragon horns, tail swaying impatiently as he glanced at his food. They should be here by now....what was taking so long? For somebody so thoughtful on tactical abilities, they sure seemed to suck at everything else that didn't involve battlefields or reports needed to be filled out.

Ah, never mind. There they were. The Doctor sat down across from him at the table, a tray of food in their hands. Puzzle sat up slightly as he observed them sit, his hands folding together as a bubble of exasperation formed within his chest.

“...well, Doctor, I must say I’m a bit disappointed. You’re the holy grail of Rhodes Island, correct? The unbeatable tactician? And yet you couldn’t even meet me here for lunch on time,” His eye twitched slightly, and his mouth was set in a firm line as his tail stilled. “You always talk about considering other Operators feelings in matters involving them, but I feel as if I have been sorely dismissed with your tardiness. Can you see it in my eyes? Can you see the disappointment? Hmph."
