[@Raijinslayer] Cedric paused a bit, not at the question... but at how to answer the question without revealing to much. Despite knowing how important he was to Lorenzo, leaking too much might just get himself killed... although, giving the boy hints to get him to his own conclusion wouldn't be against protocol, now would it? "Yes and no; I suppose the most accurate term would be that you both have her," said Cedric as he began to work on Ian's legs by adding synthetic parts. "You have seen her on a regular basis though, so saying that Lorenzo is holding her away from you would be a lie." "Sorry, but that's all I can say. Although, Lorenzo and I have talked about many things in this room by [i]ourselves[/i] plenty of the time," Cedric coughed aloud as he casually eyed the Cruxi... hinting that perhaps it may have overheard some things. "Although, getting anyone to talk may be a bit difficult... although, there is a saying that sometimes creatures are unable to speak without first eating intelligent cells." "Or I could be bullshitting you too. Risk equals rewards after all," spoke Cedric as he continued his operation upon Ian, before standing up and leaning and whispering into Ian's ear before continuing his business. "Door will be unlocked... Have fun finding the truth." ______________________________________________________________________________________ [@Dondude][@Thanatos] The Spartan didn't seem all that indifferent towards the Cadets and their bickering, nor did he seem offended by Antwon's remark. "My rank is Sergeant, not Private by the way, Cadet. Anyway, I was planning to release that kitten into the wilds, but as long as you are planning to take care of it... I don't see a problem." Casually walking off, the the Spartan eyed the other Cadets, before nodding at them all. "I'll leave it up to you all as to who will be in charge of Snowball," he said before continuing out of the cafeteria. The kitten, however, simply forced its way out of Antwon's hands, before biting Zan for making such a loud ruckus and hoping down on the table once more to curl up into it's fluffy fluff ball of joyous wonder before going back sleep. [i]Someone has to take care of the kitten... someone. For god knows what'll happen if Lorenzo sees this.[/i] ______________________________________________________________________________________ [@AtomicNut] Ritsu simply laughed as Sigma happily ate the cheesecake, before patting her softly on the head. "Yes, that is perfectly fine Sigma, you are more than welcome to use my kitchen whenever you feel like it, just as long as Lauren or myself are here." "Heh, she really did like it, didn't she?" spoke Lauren as she tilted her head. "Yes, she did... mind packing up another one before she goes?" "Of course!" spoke the Banshee as it proceeded to wrap one up for Sigma for later. After placing another slice of cheesecake in a small box and placing it on the table, Lauren promptly looked towards Sigma, and, if the robot could, it would probably be smiling right now. "But yes, Sigma, feel free to come by here anytime... It's necessary to relax every once in a while and be ourselves, you know? If we're always being soldiers then we will eventually forget our humanity at some point. So don't be afraid to be human, alright?" Hummed Ritsu as she smiled at Sigma.
