Jaime nodded to Kelly's secretary, whom he'd talked to once or twice before. He stuck his hands in his pocket and followed Val out. He walked behind the younger man. This would probably be his most unexciting job yet.

Val glanced back at the very large, very grumpy looking bodyguard, and wished he knew how to talk to people better. He wanted to apologize to him for being stuck with him. Instead he pulled his phone out of his pocket. "Hey, Tonie, can you get me some directions?" Val asked.
"Well, sir, I'm not a GPS," the AI drawled, "But I shall do my best."
Kelly followed Liam down to the lab.

Liam opened the lab door for Kelly, and stepped in after him. Everything in the lab was an organized chaos, but that was how Liam preferred to work. He had many projects back here, but he had to start with one, so he stopped in front of a glass case. "I've been working on replicating spider silk alchemically, sir," he said, indicating the case in front of him. It was not one of Drake's target areas, but the possibilities were limitless with a compound such as this.
(perhaps a bit spider-man-esque, but I really think that spider silk is amazing stuff)

He knew spider silk was exceptionally strong, and could imagine more than a few uses on his own, but wanted to know what Liam had in mind. (It IS.)

Jaime's eyebrows scrunched together when Val began talking to his phone. How odd. At least this guy wasn't bad to look at. Jaime sighed. "Where are we going?"

"Well, sir, as you probably know, spider silk has one of the highest tensile strengths of any substance known to man. Exceptionally strong, yet lightweight." Liam was nervous, but he was thrilled that Kelly seemed interested in his work. "Clothing, architecture, defense...the possibilities are literally endless."

Val glanced at Jaime and then away. "Um, lots of places," he said, snapping the paper Kelly had given him open, squinting at the paper to avoid having to look at Jaime. He read off the names and addresses, mostly of people who had things for Kelly. Val frowned, momentarily forgetting how awkward Jaime was making him feel, and grumbled, "And he turns me into an errand boy."

Jaime frowned. "You wanna elaborate?" He took a few longer strides until he was walking next to Val.

Val glanced back at Jaime. "What d'you mean?" he asked, following the directions that Tonie was giving him.
Kelly nodded. "How's it coming so far?"

Liam's smile faltered just a bit. "I'm making progress, but none of the silk I have made seems to have the same strength as the stuff the spiders make." He knew there was something he was missing, but he didn't know what that was just yet.

He knew there was something he was missing, but he didn't know what that was just yet. Kelly nodded. "It will take time, I imagine," he said. "Keep working on it." He smiled. "What else do you have for me?"

(Oh XD Ignore my last post, because I can't read. Also, smooth move Steph.)
Jaime let out an irritated sigh. Could this guy be any harder to talk to? Maybe twenty thousand dollars a week wasn't enough after all.

(The modify button is in the same place as the quote button is on hc I'm sorry. XD)
Val glanced over at Jaime again. He felt like he should say something to him. "So. Um. Mr. Thorsen, right?"
