The figure scoffed, "Hris, don't flatter yourself. I wouldn't lower myself to come here if I had another option."
A brief period of silence followed after.
"Get to it then, what do you want?" the lady waved her hand impatiently when the figure didn't say anything, still refusing to turn around and face him.
The figure smiled.
"One of the eggs I'm looking after is going off-track. She's a human so I thought you would know what to do. And as you know, if we fail to fulfill the quota this time then it will reflect poorly on all of us," he added in the last line upon seeing her nonchalant demeanor.
Although he was right in saying that it would reflect poorly on all of them, none of them would be punished as heavily as him. Their masters did not take kindly to failure.
The lady finally seemed interested as she sat upright.
"Off-track how?" she asked with obvious curiosity in her voice.
'Got her,' the figure grinned.
