Seth raised his eyebrows at 09's question of her status with 06. [color=999900][i]Hmm... Her speech style has adapted to 06's speech patterns. She's not showing any emotion. Short, clipped sentence. She must be worried that a highly trained sniper would keep a grudge against his own teammate. Highly unlikely, since in combat, this team has greater things to think about than a tiff that occurred off the battlefield. His attire assumes that he's either been off duty for an extended period of time or he is either in or has recently been in highly secretive military/federal operations. The latter is most likely, since we're called 'the best of the best'. This leads to the assumption that 06 would not be motivated to assault, let alone kill, a member of his squad purely for a spat. Especially since it has the possibility of jeopardizing an operation.[/i][/color] Once he got on the elevator with the others, Seth shifted his eyes over to 06 for a response. Meanwhile, he takes notes and makes predictions. [color=999900][i]-Calculation: 06 will use two or less words, including a slight nod of the head. Thus, 09 will either nod in response, if she continues this personality adaptation of 06, or she will smile and thank him, if she reverts to her own personality, originally exhibited in the briefing room. -Observation: 09 seems to be trying to get on people's 'good side', at least since her spat with 06. -Note: no biases or initial connotations should be used when speaking to 09 to avoid possible misinterpretations or aggravations. Trust, and possibly inferiority, issues have been causing extreme emotional bursts. Volatility could be a weakness. Or, redirected, can be a possible distraction method against enemy units. Hm...[/i][/color] With the last two mental sentences, Seth contemplates the thought of 09 being used as a one-(wo)man distraction battalion.
