It looked as though he were ditching them, albeit temporarily, but it did grant Griffin some time away from two beings who had no place in the natural world. Essie gave a slight nod in agreement and turned to follow Astra this time, assuming that the trio already had their split after their discussion. She meandered down the hallway towards the motor pool, her smile still remaining and hinting towards her currently pleasant mood - she was more excited than anything, it was her first time out with so much trust invested in her duty, she'd be sure to follow protocol so Essie could attend more adventures like this.

Her glassy eyes shifted to the golem, her head gently tilting to the side in speculation. What should she ask her new friend? She was already aware of their goal; Catch a shapeshifter, there was nothing else to know, nothing [i]more[/i] to know even. Essie began to gesture in her general vicinity so the golem could register her movements. [i]'I am very satisfied with the current information, but I would like to know everyone better. Griffin does not seem to like us much, I hope that will change soon, he seems like he would be very kind once you get to know him. I am sure he will smile and be happy with our work - if we are successful, that is. And I am also sure we will be successful... If I am able to register the shapeshifter while it transforms, I will be able to copy its power and keep pace with its movements, perhaps that will be a good idea to implement at some point?'[/i]

She paused nearing the end of her hand signals, taking just a moment to mull over more of her thoughts. [i]'Aside from that though, do you like it here? Do you have a favorite color? We are technically friends.'[/i]
