Upon hearing that she would be partnered with the newcomer, Skye simply nodded in acceptance of her fate. Luckily for Stan, she was one of the few who had yet to make up her mind regarding him. The majority of the people inside the conference room seemed to have decided that something was off about the guy. Emily, who had already doubted his compatibility with the team when he didn't even know where to go, didn't even try to hide her loud snort as she heard that people avoided talking about him. Perfect on paper, but dubious in reality—there must be a reason as to why that was.

Skye, however, gave a mental shrug. She didn't want to assume that the reason was necessarily negative in nature, and he had seemed alright during their brief meeting. If he was a weirdo that would show soon enough and he would be thrown around to the next place. So instead of complaining, Skye cleared her throat as she sat down on the empty chair next to her bag. Having not heard the conversation before, she opened her mouth while moving the bag to the floor to leave the seat next to her free for Stan. "[color=skyblue]So, what is this guy? Supernatural?[/color]", she asked, looking curiously around the room.

"[color=Gold]Nah[/color]", Nicholas said, who, like Skye, had finally sat down. "[color=Gold]Mundane, apparently.[/color]"

"[color=skyblue]Great[/color]", she replied, actually happy that he was. There were too many people inside the room with all sorts of weird skills already, so his apparent lack of magical abilities was definitely needed. "[color=skyblue]And no worries, Ken, I'll take care of him.[/color]"

A voice that up until that point had remained silent erupted from the corner of the room. "[color=Plum]I bet you will.[/color]" A woman with thick dark curls that fell heavy across her shoulders leaned back in her chair, slowly chewing on a piece of fruit-flavoured gum. Audrey gave Skye a teasing smile as Skye rolled her eyes in response.

Silently cursing the immaturity of her team mates in her head, Skye only mustered the energy to answer a sarcastic, but tired "[color=skyblue][i]Very[/i] funny[/color]".

For a brief moment, Audrey laughed dryly before she suddenly stopped, putting her hands together in a loud clap. She looked around at her colleagues excitedly. "[color=plum]Y'know what, I don't wanna wait anymore[/color]", Audrey said impatiently. Being relatively new herself, she was eager to see someone else come and fill the newbie position—perhaps the others would stop babying her and calling her out on her so-called lack of experience if there was a new guy to tease. "[color=plum]Any more questions and you can ask this Stanley directly. Just let the guy in already.[/color]"

With those words, Audrey looked with her round eyes at Ken. An unusual silence fell once more on the room.
