āIām not one hundred percent sure about thisā¦ā
Syx tried his hardest not to cringe into Harrisonās side. He was used to the spotlight but from a safe distance. There was a reason that he kept himself separated from the populous through the use of projectors and broadcasts. He focusedĀ on keeping his mask of confidence in place with the certainty that the only person able to see through the act was the blue man at his side.
āIf you want a financial interview Lawrence, set it up with my people. Ā My companion tonight is a friend who is new to Metro City, his name is Mr. Blue and weāre both wearing Dolce. Ā Otherwise I have no comment. Ā Come on.ā Ā And he tugged Syx away from the cameras. Ā
The questions followed in their wake.
āMr. Blue how are you liking Metro City?ā āMr. Blue does Wayne Drake-Scott know youāre here tonight with his husband?ā āMr. Blue are you the supervillain Megamind?ā āHow do you feel about breaking up a marriage with children involved?ā
āThis would be so much easier if I could wave a gun in their faces,ā Syx breathed softly out of the corner of his mouth,Ā āHow do you deal with this?ā
āItās not always that bad,ā Harrison chuckled. Ā āSometimes itās fun to hold court, be in the center of attention, have them hanging on my every word and admiring whatever Iām wearing. Ā Sheldon calls me a peacock,ā he adds confessionally, with a preening smile. Ā
Syx could concede that, his blue companion seemed to live for being a fabulous spotlight, āBeing the center of attention is nice but I prefer that attention to be though a separation of a monitor screen and a good ten miles. At the the very last on the other side of a large robot.ā
