Each Paradox was interesting in their own way and watching them chose who they would go with raised some questions. She had had expected that Faith would have wanted to go with Gilbert. She seemed more the fighting type and one that would have wanted to jump on a chance to be around the one that would be in charge of that. Yet she had picked Evelina. Perhaps that was because she would end up spending a lot of time with Gilbert training that she was taking the opportunity to deal with some of the other Emendators. [color=0072bc]"Yes of course, you are more than welcome to join me."[/color] It seemed that Faith wasn't the only one wishing to go with Evelina. It seemed that Andromeda and Alexandra wanted to join her as well. The rest divided up between Nancy and Gilbert, leaving Gio high and dry. That was interesting indeed. Then Gio spoke and Evelina raised a curious brow. Her thoughts focusing for a moment and then her eyes narrowing slightly. This would not do, it would not do at all. Turning she looked at the group. They were new, none had the training they needed but there was more. If we went somewhere, we went in pairs. It was for safety, it was for back up. Evening was here, people were coming. They needed to maintain a front, with so many new Paradoxes, this meant they couldn't afford to have more than one Emendator away at a time. There was no choice. Taking a breath she looked over between those that were there and made a calculated choice. [color=0072bc]"Bartholomew, you will go with Gio,"[/color] she said before turning her attention to The Watch. [color=0072bc]"He is the only one that we do not need to worry about controlling his abilities as of yet. He is the safest and his background should make him the easiest to ready on short notice,"[/color] she added before turning. [color=0072bc]"Very well. Faith, Andromeda, Alexandra, do come with me. We will welcome our guests for now. Gilbert do ensure refreshments are ready. And dear Nancy, do what you do best. Cause havoc,"[/color] she said, a slight grin forming on her normally cool exterior. She might have remained cool outwardly but inwardly, she was starting to boil.

The woman was anything but patient but at least something else had grabbed her attention. George. Her empathy was kicking in and there was nothing she could do at this point to push it down. Sometimes that was just how it was, she couldn't control it. At least not fully, not yet. That would most likely take decades to perfect. She had been told that sometimes no matter how trained one was an ability would become too much and have to just be dealt with. That had to be difficult. At least for some. Looking over at George she could feel a guilt eating away at him. [color=ed145b]"It's not your fault, he fucking came here on his own. Had he stayed where Evelina fucking told him to this shit wouldn't have happened,"[/color] she said, trying to get through to him but George didn't react. He just kept seemingly to stare off at nothingness. After a moment he finally said something. [color=598527]"Mmm. That is not why I am being punished, that is just a punishment,"[/color] he said. It was more words than he normally spoke at her. Nancy was one of the few that could get the man to speak in complete sentences, so the fact he had just given her one was a hell of a thing in her book. [color=ed145b]"Then why the fuck do you have to be punished?[/color] she asked. Swallowing slightly George reached into his pocket and pulled out a silk handkerchief. It was spotted in crimson, dried blood from the looks of it and worn, old. Handing it out to her she took it and looked at it more closely. Two lettered where embroidered into it. M.W.
