Paige listened as Sio recounted the night shaking her head slightly in amusement at the amazingly brazen attitude of the hosts she described. What Sio didn't realize was the story behind her capture of Bob and the two sisters from the party. The pair seemed to be quite the socialites in Sol. She'd never met the older one, but if the girl was anything like her younger sibling, she didn't need Sio's validation. Still tired, but listening carefully, she propped her head on one hand and stirred her coffee even though it didn't have anything in it. Her trained ears couldn't help but listen for any detail that didn't add up and when Sio reached the part about getting locked on the roof, her glance perked up slightly and then narrowed across the table at the redhead. Paige had a passkey and could open any door in City Hall. She was familiar with the stairway and usually entered the building through the same corridor. "What do you mean you 'got locked out on the roof'?" She said. Her tone was not critical, more probing. "How did you get up there anyway?" She knew full well how, but the law officer in her was used to getting people to admit to things without thinking about it.

She wasn't upset, just a bit [i]disappointed[/i] in her friend's recklessness. Sio was considerably sharper than most girls her age, but she knew that youth had it's lapses in judgment, particularly when paired with copious amounts of alcohol. It wouldn't have been as bad if she hadn't been alone. Paige was starting to feel some measure of responsibility for the girl, but by no means was she there to be her parent. When Sio asked about who she was out to dinner with, Paige's automatic response was simple: "What makes you think I was out with anyone?" Years of dealing with criminals gave her a delivery that was neither question nor statement. Though she had no problems with telling the truth, she was a bit interested in how Sio automatically assumed she was out with [i]someone[/i] rather than being alone or with a group. She thought about Milo for a moment and like the whole morning and most of the night, he was just like a mental block she couldn't get around. She needed some real sleep and still had a slight headache.
