Cer hadn't expected the stranger to lean on her and it took a concentrated effort not to stumble when he leaned against her. He was beginning to annoy her. It was a small consolation to see his aura darken at Light, she was close enough to tell how his aura reacted to other people, one of the few bonuses of the situation. Her ears perked at his question "[i]How can we help you today?[/i]" There wasn't any [i]we[/i], they were not a team and definitely not a couple. Was he so eager to get Light to leave that he was trying to use some kind of strength in numbers tactic? She wasn't sure and though he still had no intention of harming her, she shot him a quick skeptical look.

Aside from the stranger acting even more strangely than before, Light was actually saying something interesting. Cer didn't really look up to this Meta, not as much as she pitied her. Her power was like Midas's touch, just in a cartoon style and on steroids. Though in the interest of normalcy it was probably best she 'admired' Light. However it was the job offer that really caught Cer's attention, normally she would say no. It was better to be self sustainable but things were different now. She had been taught to be wary of people who would try to use her powers but this job could help her find the person or people who took down the MHLA. In this case the ends justified the means. her smiled persisted and she chuckled "I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth but just because you're a public figure, doesn't mean we can trust you. Any sane meta is careful about who they work for and who they work with. We're both metas, so assuming we are also both sane, I think its reasonable to ask for more information about this job offer." Cer couldn't help but feel that this was like making a deal with the devil. If the stranger actually disliked Light he wouldn't be interested in the offer, if she was lucky he would leave and stop invading her personal space, she would get a way into the cities inner workings and a fairly reliable source of information, all good things. On the other hand, this job could be a lot worse than Light made it look, she had seen corrupt governments use metas before and she wasn't about to put America above that standard.
