An Amicable Meeting

[Liz Krest]

"I'd prefer a drink given the circumstances," Liz replied in a sharp, emotionless manner, matching her usual tone of speech, "I don't wish to spend too much time in a place such as this, even if the company's good." The manner with which the Lane Hacker spoke her last words appeared to have some minimal amount of emotion attached to it. It was unclear whether that phrase served as to give Damien a hint that he was good company or if it's purpose was to only inform him that it was still up to debate if she made a mistake coming here or not.

The two of them both shared a very similar mysterious aura about them; even though the way they spoke conveyed some amount of endearment it remained undetermined whether there were deeper motives hidden behind those kind words or not.

"Tell me, Damien," Liz broke the cycle of her own thoughts, "you couldn't have shared a story as personal with me purely because you know I might be able to do something about it," the Infiltrator attempted to discover what the real reason was for such a story-tell, if there was one, "unless you've told every Lane Hacker you've came across the same."

"I highly doubt that the latter's the case," Liz continued after a few moments of silence. Clearly, the Alliance Commander was treating her in an odd, special manner. Their conversation so far, his suggestion for them to meet and talk in person, the way he treated her in a unique manner in Ontario. It all piqued her curiosity. Even if the entire Ontario story of his attempts to not critically damage her vessel was fake, what would the motive be behind even sharing such fake tales? Why would Cobra bother even referring to the subject?

A number of things were unclear to the Infiltrator, still, a fact that a keen observer would quickly pick up on. The delays between her replies, the occasional blank stare that decorated her face, the awkward silence while her mind went rampart on thoughts, stories, theories.

It was evident that she had a lot more to say than what few words came out of her mouth at each time. It was also evident that she possesses a far different personality in-person to the mirage she's displaying over spacial transmissions.
