[quote=Black-Haired Woman][color=fff200]"Only a minute? Hmm... were you perhaps standing around just to look pretty, then?"[/color][/quote]

[color=f26522][i]Yes,[/i][/color] Reese thought as she continued to stare at the woman. [color=f26522][i]I thought you of all people would know how to do that.[/i][/color]

Reese didn't glance at the shattering noise, though she'd be lying if she said she didn't hear it. As long as it wasn't directed at her, though, she always had the option to ignore it. Probably just some people louder than a dying elephant minding their own business. The last loudest thing she'd met was someone drunk out of their shoes in a bar, which was pretty impressive considering Rifts existed and all.

She did end up glancing at the smallest blond in the room, hearing only the word "healing." If that accounted for anything, that meant she could have more room risking her life. Reese didn't bother hearing the rest of his explanation.

Considering the woman's attitude, Reese doubted she'd ask for anything obliviously friendly. That was more than welcome, especially if doing her a small favor would get her off her-

[quote=Black-Haired Woman (Soraya)][color=fff200]"I am Soraya Labelle... and since I assume you are also here to explore the supposed rift, that makes us [u][b]partners[/b][/u] now."[/color][/quote]

One of Reese's fingers twitched.

On a second thought, this woman [b][u]was[/u][/b] designed to fuck with her. [color=f26522][i]God fucking dammit, that Rift better get its shit together and open up soon.[/i][/color]

Glancing at Soraya with more venom in her gaze, she looked up and down at her before averting her gaze to the other side of the room. Despite what she wanted to say, Reese had a gut feeling this bit- woman would make her life even worse if she didn't accept.

If anything would get her off her back, then so be it. For the time being, since she had no idea what the woman was capable of, she decided to play it safe.

[color=f26522]"Only for this Rift, then,"[/color] she ended up saying, her tone sharper than before. [color=f26522]"But you and I are through after this."[/color]
