An Amicable Meeting

[Liz Krest]

"Confusion due to my tendency to over-analyze situations and not accept simple answers as real ones," the Lane Hacker continued almost immediately after the Commander's remark, "perhaps a re-evaluation of those tendencies is in order," she said with a smile.

Liz held her glass in her hand, raised it to her lips and took another sip, almost emptying it. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the lingering taste, exhaling slowly as she did so. She continued to listen to Cobra's words while keeping her eyes closed. She was intrigued by the way Cobra chose to speak; the apparent lack of clear answers and his way with words made her all the more interested in talking to the man in front of her.

However, this does not stop Liz from thinking that this meeting may have taken longer than she had expected. She does have business to attend to, but she does not want to say anything about it just yet - perhaps to see if Cobra will take the initiative in that direction or not.

"It looks quiet outside," Elizabeth comments abruptly after opening her eyes a few moments ago and looking out the same window as Cobra, "definitely quieter than when we started our conversation out there." While this seemingly random comment may have seemed like a subtle attempt to hint at a desire to leave, it was in fact nothing more than a random thought that had occurred to her after looking outside, one that she did not hesitate to share with her company for the evening.
