<I really have no excuse except that I feel asleep in the bath for 4 hours yesterday and just haven't gotten around to doing this yet. So sorry 'bout that. Let's get on with this shall we?>

Xisuma landed with a small thud on the white concrete floor, almost tripping over a chest as he did so. After recovering from almost falling on his face he stalked over to Grian, posture stiff but not aggressive. 

A stopped a meter away from Grian and looked the A.I. straight in the eyes, "Explain yourself. Now." 

"It wasn't me." Was Grian's simply reply, voice soft as he gently stroked Void's head.

X raised an eyebrow at the response, "Right. And the fact that the breach of code happened here, and that you were here at that exact, time doesn't have anything to do with it either, I suppose?"

"Nope." Grinned Grian, making pop sound at the 'p'.

He was spared from answering anymore of the admins questions by his phone going off. Grian gave the taller an apologetic smile as he pulled it out.

"He's currently back home, though I do bring him here to visit on occasion." Chirped Grian, he chose to ignore the muttered "without asking for permission first" by Xisuma, "And I kind have? Their more like half A.I.'s who can only do certain things, so their more like programs then like an A.I."

"It was good! Dr. Holloric treated me like a living being then just a machine so it was a very good 'upbringing'. He even let me travel around all the electronics in the house so that I wasn't stuck in the lab, which was in the basement. So all in all it was good." Smiled Grian, his focus singling in on petting Void but he still kept an ear open for X.

"Dr. Holloric? As in Charlie Holloric?" Asked Xisuma, sounding shocked at the name.

"Yes, do you know him?" 

The admin shifted a bit where he stood, not really looking at Grian anymore, "I have heard of him from Doc."

"Ok? I don't see how this would get such a reaction from you?" Pressed the dirty blond. But as soon as he saw the looking in X's eyes he decided to drop it and instead changed course immediately, "Would you like to stay for some tea?"

"Yes please." Breathed Xisuma relived at the topic change.

Grian nodded and headed of to his kitchen (which he has somewhere in his base that won't be specified as I don't have any ideas where to put it) with X in tow. The admin could wait to talk about his original purpose for coming later.

<Somethings are being hinted at, though since I don't like spoiling stuff I'll keep quiet. I'd like to remind everyone that any Hermit or character that appears in the chapter and doesn't leave is open for questions, which makes Xisuma open for questions just like Grian. 

That's all I have, so have a wonderful time everyone!>
