Eyes and Ears

[Byron]

As the room suddenly turned completely dark, only sporadically lightened up by the flickering candle flames, which sent out a slight, delightful red. That way, it reminded her even more of some sort of romantic date - well, a date in a bathroom, that was. She still had her two automatic pistols at her belt, and she didn't feel that comfortable in a dark, narrow bath packed with two other persons, she preferred to keep her hands close to them.

This time she had already been able to guess the Operative's face, and it wasn't such a surprise than last time to see it again - the long dark hair, the pale skin, the scar on one of his cheeks. Both his and Nick's face were partially lightened by the candles, however the most parts of their faces remained in the shadows of the bathroom, making them both look somewhat mysterious.

She frowned a little about the Operative's comment, however her face as well wasn't fully visible, as she sat directly beside one candle which only lighted the from her point of view right side, the one that was facing the Operative. "As long as it isn't going to become a 'crazy fetish threesome', I'm fine", she said, laughing briefly about this overall weird situation she was in. "My time has been quite good as well. Both personally and business-related. However, I gonna be honest with you, that was a sh*tload of work you got in your hands there. So be careful with it."

Elena slightly braced her arms against the edge of the bathtub, turning her head around to face the Operative's eyes. Actually, a lightened candle was standing right between them, making the situation even weirder for her, however she managed to disguise these thoughts under an innocent, friendly smile she gave him. "Yes, Nick just came to tag along. When I told him he shouldn't come here with his implants, he even more wanted to do so." A slight chuckle escaped out of her mouth, talking about Nick's stubborness in these regards.
