Quand vous vous joindrez á la Marine Royale Gaulose?
Il y a trois mois. - without much emotion they were exchanging short questions with short answers rapidly, which suggested Arnaud that she's not that easy to break, so he derailed a bit from the preset questions.
Nouveau Paris, eh? [I guess you've born into a wealthy family.] Nom des vos parents?
Gordon et Cécile Michaux. [And yes, wealth is not uncommon on New Paris.]
[I bet in circles so high it is easy to forget about the reality of lower classes.] - seeing though that he couldn't bait Florence into an arguement between classes he decided to do a more harsh change of tactics and suddenly...
Quand vous perdu votre virginité? - that was it. He saw his words making effect, and her emotionless stance suddenly displaying a disgusted surprise on her face full of disbelief.
Quoi?
[You have heard it right. Are you denying the answer?] - he asked with a slowly developing grin on his face.

Even though until now the bracelet has been displaying a constant green light as a sign of her honesty, more recently it began flickering with more yellow, probably as a result of her change in emotions. The question was too personal for her as a female, but she knew she had to answer in order to earn the trust of the Council and finally meet with LaFlamme. She had to take a few seconds to make her emotionally ready to answer any question coming her way from there on, but before she could answer this one, a third person spoke from behind her: - Ça suffit, Arnaud.

A person of average height stepped forward into the light from one of those corners of the room purposefully left dim. She immediately recognized the face, this time it was indeed Pierre LaFlamme himself, although instead of wearing his usual uniform of the Général en Chef, he was wearing a moderately elegant suit over a flightsuit, as a means to dress appropriately but be ready to leave the scene at any time necessary at the same time. Both of the other two turned towards him in slight surprise, Arnaud got up from his place while Pierre nodded towards her briefly. - Bonjour, Mademoiselle. - then he got back to his partner to have a quick exchange of not so loud words:

[Get back upstairs and make sure we are safe. Gules is a splendid person, but I trust your awareness more.]
[Did I overdo it?]
Non, [you acted yourself very well.] - both men understood the sarcasm in his tone and smile.
Eh, merci. - with a half-smile Arnaud left towards the stairs while Pierre turned back to greet Florence a bit more appropriately.
Enchantée, Commandant Michaux, et excusez-moi [for this less pleasant introduction.] - he extended his hand towards her, although not in a position to receive a proper handshake, rather the palm facing more upwards than sideways.
