Elsa kept her expression serious, but relaxed. She saw no reason to present herself to be an asshole. Samad got under some Asylum’s easily enough, and she refused to add to those issues. She listened to Tabion’s little ‘welcome’ speech while she summarized his personality pretty easily.

Authority immediately sprung to the front of the list. Thankfully he hadn’t been the first of his kind in her life, and she knew how to handle them. Especially when they held their duty too close to their chest.

At the mention of being a mentor, her green eyes shifted to her partner. Samad stood there like a statue made from blood and flesh. Little surprise, she let the thought pass over to her partner who knew what she meant.

[i]You know I can hear your thoughts, ḥamal ṣaġīr (little lamb)?[/i]

Elsa just gave him a subtle smile. Of course, she knew. She didn’t even let his little pet name for her get under her skin. They locked eyes for several moments before Samad gave a mental sighed.

Their conversation was interrupted when they felt Tabion’s eyes on them. In unison, their attention shifted back and spotted his nod toward them. It wouldn’t have surprised the pair if he could see into the silent conversation between them. Thankfully, the man decided he had better things to address than a pair of distracted Asylums.

Samad frowned when he noticed Geko. The rumors edged into his mind over the grade-A pervert causing Elsa to give him a scrutinizing look. His eyes darted back to her followed with a telepathic question.

[i]What?[/i]

[i]Snap judgment much?[/i] Elsa retorted, her hands placed on her hips and faced him.

Samad sighed. [i] Let me get the keys, kay? Last thing I need is forcing myself to behave and you forced to smooth things over. [/i]

[i] You do realize, he tries anything unreasonable I’ll use my charm to get out of it?[/i] Her lips curled into a knowing smirk.

[i]Is that what you call kicking someone-[/i]

Elsa immediately kicked his shin side, but Samad merely chuckled. It proved his point well enough. Besides, his partner didn’t put her full force or any malice into the action. Annoy as she was, she never hurt someone over the petty things. Letting her weak efforts roll off his back, he dropped his arms and walked to Geko and two other asylums addressing him. Meanwhile, Elsa held back to observe how the situation would play out.
