From the Ashes, We're Reborn (1x1 with Adashi)

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

Usbeorn keeps his arms around baker, humming quite contently at the moment as he settles down himself.

Baker eventually drifted off afterwards, content and happy.

Usbeorn spends a good deal of time tending to all of Baker's needs as best he can. His feathers get alittle rustled from time to time, but is alittle more rational about everything now with his upgraded coding.

Today, Today however, he wakes up incredibly early because he's got an important business meeting with Vlaadof. So he gets up incredibly early, he prepares breakfast, leaves baker a plate in the microwave and such before he quickly showers and changes into his best, fanciest suit. He gets his hair looking nice and everything before he nods and heads out.

He's entirely expecting a Vlaadof assassin to be hidden in the room with the CEO and all. Its a predictable action from them. So when he gets to the office, he sends a simple message to baker's echo of 'had to get up early for a meeting, breakfast in the microwave, join me in our office when ever you please' before tucking his echo away then stepping into the office, immediately greeting the CEO waiting for him.

Baker sleeps in a bit longer than expected, still slowly recovering, but getting there. He could actually start going to the office recently. When he wakes and finds out that Usbeorn has left already, he slowly gets from the bed and rubs his eyes. He finds the note, the breakfast, and gets ready. Taking a quick shower after eating, getting dressed, and then cleaning up a bit. He takes his medication and then heads for the office, feeling a bit better finally dressed up for a meeting.

Usbeorn spins in his seat as the Vlaadof CEO continues to talk, trying to set up a deal of some kind. To be honest, he lost interest. Its always the same deal of 'if we could perhaps just have this small system to do business in, it'd benefit us both!' Usbeorn gets tired of it after a while.

He finally ends the meeting with a 'i'll talk with the boss and see, but theres no guarantee.' Which isn't enough for vlaadof, but as soon as the CEO is out of the room, the ever predicted assassin pops up, blocking usbeorn's path out of the office, getting him to laugh a bit.

"Oh god I saw you coming a mile away." He laughs as he pulls his Logan's and fires a few shots. The assassin dodges easily and gets close, managing to drive their knife into the right side of his chest, making him cough up blood before he fires another shot from his pistol into the assassin's head.

His feathers are already crumbling to ash as he pulls out the knife, tosses it aside then numbly drops into a chair. At least he'll get some relief through his reborn skill.

Baker ends up running into the CEO on the way to the office, giving a polite greeting and discussing the events of the meeting they were just in, but the interaction doesn't last long. They seem a bit anxious to leave. He watched as they rush off, then picked up his pace to the office, a bit worried himself. Of course they'd send an assassin; larger companies always did. But Usbeorn was going to be an idiot and not post guards nearby, Baker knew that. He's already flaring up his tattoos, wings unfolding as he opens the office door. "Usbeorn, baby?" He called.

Usbeorn coughs more roughly, head tilted back, though lols to the side and towards the door. [color=#FFBF]"I don't think you wanna be in here right now honey. Might agitate your dust allergy."[/color] He slurred between rough coughs, skin already paling to an ashen white and coming apart. He coughs and laughs a bit more before its finally active. The ashes immediately ignite, quick to create a practical inferno within the shape of his bird like persona.

The moment its out, he's lurching forward with more ragged coughs, wings, now with full plumage, spreading out for balance as do his tail feathers while he roughly slams a hand down on the desk while regaining himself. Once his breathing is steady, he's able to right himself and comb his sharp claws threw his hair then look at himself, scrunching his nose. His suits ruined.

Baker lets out a squawk of alarm when Usbeorn goes up in flame, rushing toward the chair and stopping halfway as Usbeorn finally gets put out. "Jesus christ, what was—" He's cut off, sneezing from the ashy air and opening his interface to turn on the ventilation system and get the air clean.

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

Usbeorn gives a bit of a dry laugh at the reaction, holding his hands out slightly. "Remember how you called me ridiculous because I told you I can't die? Yeah, was serious. Its called Rebirth, or its longer name, From the ashes we're Reborn. Or just reborn. Anyways. Its one of the perks to this body. If I die somehow, the Phoenix blood brings me back." He informed with a more amused but still feral/predatory smile.

[mandalorian]

Baker rubs his nose, and then lets his tattoos die down and his wings vanish from sight. "You could've warned me." He mumbled, heading for the desk now. "Stupid Vladoof. You should've posted guards! We've talked about that."
