Having hunched over to read more comfortably, Dimitri sat up and remained ridged as a result of Alisa's sudden appearance. The weapon's touch  didn't quite help matters, but there wasn't really much Dimitri could do about it. For a second he considered taking off or asking for his space like he had with Kalinda, however the idea almost instantly struck him as stupid considering he'd more or less agreed to something that required he spend more time in proximity and physical contact with Alisa than anyone else. Dimitri folded the map and placed it in between the pages of the book he was reading and closed it with measured movements before he overlapped his hands on top of the book, taking a few moments to mull over the options presented towards him. "[color=0054a6]Well...[/color]" Dimitri began uncertainly, "[color=0054a6]I guess there isn't too much harm in us talking. We're supposed to be partners after all.[/color]". The words hung in the air as Dimitri thought about where exactly he'd begin, though after drawing several blanks the meister finally opted to take the most direct approach, "[color=0054a6]What do you want to know exactly? I mean...where do you want me to start?[/color]".
