Lea would have to force her hand once more to protect her own. While caution still plays in her actions, Lea strode forward. They were small steps, meant to not alarm the woman and have her jump on her with ill intents. Psychology wasn't something she majored at but she had to learn more about it before she entered The Alcatraz. Even with the anti-aggression barrier that prevented them from attacking her, she could not afford to be more careful. As Shaali replied and inclined her head - a show of respect she assumed - Lea allowed her signature lazy smile creep up on her face. To show that she wasn't planning on acting on harming her, assuming that the Tulak knew what horrible things one can do with her kind of attunement, she slid her hands inside her pockets. No skin contact means no harm done, perhaps this was something that was done in exchange for the destructiveness they could cause. [color=6ecff6]"I only seek company, Shaali."[/color] Her reply only came a beat later, calm and sincere. [color=6ecff6]"In a place so unfamiliar, there's nothing else I would like more than someone, or something, I am certain of."[/color] A fact that may either be true to all, or true to her only. It would be obvious that she was not seeking protection in a form of another being, she would never have approached her if that was the case. Lea would have let the criminal be as a criminal housed in The Alcatraz would probably be as dangerous as anything else on this planet. She stopped once she was in a comfortable distance from the woman, far enough for both of their needs for personal space but close enough that they would be able to act together should any threats arise. [color=6ecff6]"It is good to see another living being too."[/color] She thought that it would be better to perhaps wrap the fact that she had killed the first one she had ever encountered by advancing his disease and in turn, rupturing his organs one by one. She didn't think that fact would settle well with anyone she would accompany. [color=6ecff6]"So, what do you say? Shall we accompany each other?"[/color] Like most of the time, her voice is not commanding. It was one that usually seeks permission, just like right now. Lea was not assertive in nature, that trait belonged to her brother. She had come in terms with that fact and it hasn't hindered much of her progress. After all, a lot of people don't say 'no' to a Bursmir. At least, on Earth, that was applicable. [@LissaLu]
