Vector the Crocodile

- embarrased chuckle, leaning on his arm to prop his head and maw up

"After the Astroscopic Lenses case and being captured by Eggman just to tell the Gaia forsaken tale, I guess it's an understatement to say I've had a long week." He'd follow up with another chuckle.

Vector quickly realized where he was as he let out a small chuckle, sitting back down with a small hint of red coloring his cheeks, a small drop of sweat on the side of his head.

"Right, sorry Vanilla, I guess work's caught up to me, forgot where I was and all." He let out a small nervous and -

But he was quick to realize his manners even more as he stood back up.

"But I can't just let you do all the work, let me make you something as well. I could've sworn we had some tea packets around here somewhere..."

He would scratch the scales on his head as he searched the pantries.

"Black with a cube of sugar please! I dunno how you do it, but everything you make always tastes better than anything I can find at a convenience store."

He found himself sitting at the table, always minding his best manners, especially in front of such wonderful woman.

"Of course! You know I always got time for one of my favorite Mob- I mean my favorite clientele!"

Vector said, slipping up his clear crush on the woman before him

"Spending quality time around here ain't too bad but I'll make sure it feels like home!"

"Vanilla, what a surprise to see you here!"

Vector was just chilling in his chair at the agency office, bouncing his head to the beat playing in his headphones.

"After the lens case, work's slightly picked up and they've been solo jobs."

🐊: LISTENING TO THE NEWEST CHAOTIX CASE FILE, OH MY GOD SHE'S PERFECT!!!!!!

The area was a little messy but still slightly kept, they might be a bit sloppy, but at least the Chaotix still cared about having a happy kitchen

"With the both of us working together, we'll get this done in no time flat!"

"Right this way, while we don't have a proper janitor closet, we keep a broom and dustpan in the corner of the kitchen and sprays and rags underneath the sink."

He says proudly as he led her to a small cafeteria-esque area where there were cooking supplies with cleaning supplies in the corner.

"And uhh... Sorry 'bout the height and growin' comment, don't let it get to ya, you've done so much for everyone around here that you're just as Mobian as the rest of us, and if someone gives ya trouble, you send 'em my way, ya hear?"

He knew he had struck a sore spot and wanted to make up for it.

Vector took a look around the office, it has been a while since he cleaned up and with Espio using walls to practice throwing kunais and shurikens, that and Charmy getting... Expressive with wanting to try himself...

"Yeah... That'd actually be a huge help, thank ya for offerin' Amy!"

🐊 Not sure how much traction this'll get, but we'll see!

"B-But don't you worry, as a host, I'll still do my best to make sure ya feel at home!"

He claimed with a cheerful smile, to lighten the mood by commenting on her smaller stature and frame.

As he looked down at the smaller Amy Rose before him, he gave the scales on his head a good scratch before clearing his throat to speak.

"Sorry Amy, still gettin' used to seein' ya like this, gives me nostalgia from when I first opened the agency, but I'm so used to seein' folks grow, y'know?"

"Well, of course! I can't promise it's a comfy place, but I can do what I can to make it to your liking!" Vector truly was a gentleman after all, and couldn't say no to his greatest- He could've sworn Amy was right there...

"Took us a while, but we finally got Vanilla to safety, but now comes the next problem, findin' Cream... Either way, the Chaotix got a new ride, so hopefully we'll find her with some luck, and the infection only affects humans, so Mobians are naturally immune... I think."

<Sitting in his chair>

"Another slow day at the office, detective work sure is slow now and then, but maybe we'll get a lucky break. Just gotta wait for the right time."
