"Hey Alan!" Chiaros came flying into the office at breakneck speed, flinging herself around the corner and stopping breathless in front of the German Shepherd. "Alanalanalanalan-" she started, bouncing up and down at such a high frequency that he thought she might gather enough kinetic energy to explode.
She'd startled him when she came in shouting as she did, so his shoulders had been tensed up and he'd almost fallen out of his swivel chair. Releasing a breath in an exasperated sigh, he rubbed a hand across his eyes and said, "What is it, Chiaros?" His tail flicked irritatedly and his ears twitched in annoyance.
"Did you get the things?" She asked, eyes wide and hopeful.
"The- what thooooooh. Those things. Yeah." Alan pushed his chair across the floor and slid across his sleek office to grab a couple Bluetooth-esque headsets. One looked like an earbud and was considerably smaller than the others. "This one's for Sociri," he said, pointing. Then he pointed to the next, one with a clip. "That's yours." He grabbed the last and put it on. It looked most like a set of headphones, with a microphone attached to it. It featured a stylized red arrow travelling down its length. With a huge grin, Chiaros snagged the headsets out of his palm and raced off down the hall.
"Thank yoooouuu, Alan!" She cried. In her excitement she leapt up into the air and hung there for a moment longer than she should have. She came back down quickly enough and continued down the hall, shouting "Sociri!!!"

Sociri's ears perked. She heard Chiaros's faint screaming. Stuffing the last bite of her burger in her beak, the peryton tossed the remains of her lunch in the garbage as she passed and bounded down the hall. She couldn't tell quite tell where Chiaros was, but she could at least run in the general direction and hope they ran into each other--though, preferably not literally. Wings fluttering as she turned a corner, Sociri almost tripped over one of the other people working in the building. Murmuring a quick "Sorry," Sociri brushed past and hurried on her way.
At an intersection in front of her, she saw Chiaros run by, and tried to skid to a stop. "Chiaros!" Sociri shouted, almost falling over with her own momentum as she overshot the intersection. She flailed her wings, leaning backward as her feet slipped on the floor. She managed to regain her balance and turn around, calling "Chiaros!" again as she bounced back to the corner to run after her clearly excited friend.

In all the commotion, Chiaros bypassed the very person (or peryton, hah!) that she was looking for. "Oh! Oh oh oh!" She muttered in flustered excitement, scrambling to a halt and whirling around. She finally managed to calm herself down enough to run over to Sociri in a more controlled manner and did as much. "Here!" She said cheerily, thrusting the smallest earpiece at her friend. "Alan finally got them in!" She halfway squeaked. "Lookit how cool it is! Oh, and that's yours by the way," she added as she pointed out the subtle red detailing on the communicator.

"Eep!" Sociri yelped as the mic was put in her hand. Chiaros's excitement was infectious. "It's tiny!" She examined the piece of technology, trying to see how to work it, turning it to see the F.O.R.C.E.'s signature red arrow on the side. "I love it!" She put the communicator in her right ear and bounced on her toes. "Let's test it out!" Sociri exclaimed, heading back down the corridor, trying to get out of direct sight and hearing of her friend and teammate.

Chiaros nodded enthusiastically and darted the other way, dodging other workers- civilians, as she liked to call them- as she did so. She slowed to clip the communicator to her ear, and was happy to note that it wasn't so tight that it hurt her ear but gripped the delicate edge enough so that it wasn't going to fall off. "Alright! Can you guys head me?" She said, wondering if she needed to speak louder without a microphone attached. On the other end, there was a clatter.
Alan made a noise that sounded vaguely like he was saying "Ghjj!" The headset transmitted static for a moment before there was a relieved sigh. "That's better. Volume was up too high." He explained. In response, Chiaros sniggered.

Sociri flicked her ear back and forth, seeing if the communicator would fall out. It didn't, and she grinned, before jumping slightly as Chiaros's voice came in her ear. She took it out and fiddled with the volume, adjusting it and then putting it back in time to hear "--too high," from Alan and a snicker from Chiaros.
"Got it!" Sociri announced, feeling a little self-conscious talking to herself in a hall full of other people. She leaned against the wall, nodding to a passerby. "Sounds like yours are too." She grinned again. "Thanks, Alan!"

"You're welcome. Now go do something so I don't have to hear your voices in my head all day," Alan said. Chiaros couldn't be sure if he was laughing or if he was annoyed. "I think I might go crazy with how hyper you two are," he added, grumbling. Chiaros barked out a laugh.
"Oh c'mon, Alan, you know you love us," she said flippantly, grinning as she walked down the hall to the back door. Without waiting for his reply (which was a sigh), she exited the building, shielding her eyes from the light and saying, "Soc, meet me out front," she instructed. "I wanna go screw around with these things! How about you?"

Sociri chuckled at the two's conversation and turned to head outside. "Of course!" she replied to Chiaros's question. She weaved her way past other people, navigating the building until she was striding through the front lobby. She jumped and flapped her wings a bit to get to the doors faster, excited. Upon emerging into the sunlight, Sociri blinked and squinted, looking for Chiaros. Sunny, she thought.
(Short post is short, sorry.)
