Ariel took a step back as Paige seemed to try and get her to stand behind her and be protected and her eyes were stern and Ice started to manifest on her fists “Back off” she said and was about to open her mouth to tell the Husk that Anansi was her guest when Bobby beat her to it, seeming like he was starting to realize exactly what was going on. She looked over at him and nodded “He saved my life last night.” She said and looked up at her wall crawling friend with a smile “I climbed out my window and it broke, so he caught me and I invited him to sleep with me.” She said trying to keep her voice calm as she said it. Before she realized it the words were out and a wave of blushing went over her as she just heard her own words, “I mean, no! Not like that! I mean, just sleep so that he wouldn’t have to sleep in the sewers.” She tried to explain but it seemed like she kept making it worse and worse.

She looked at Bobby with a begging look, hoping he’d understand and have Paige relax and not scare the guy she had just spent the night with. True, she was surprised, shocked and pretty frightened that he had suddenly pulled knives out and seemed ready to use them. She realized that he could have easily slit her throat in the middle of the night, but that was just it; he could have. The point was that he hadn’t done that and she trusted that her instinct had been right about him. She had to. He had somehow crawled into her life and she had no desire to watch him crawl out of it that fast or easily. “Now answer me; How did you get in and why?” she asked the woman and then looked at the guy, “I’m not an X-student anymore and waking me up like this doesn’t really add to your favor.” She said and placed her hands on her hips waiting for one of them to crack and tell her what she wanted to know.

Bobby was the first to crack and blurted out that he was only there because of Paige and Ariel rolled her eyes; of course Paige was the head behind this, who could expect Bobby to be?
She looked from the guy and over to the metal girl and narrowed her eyes “Is this some kind of favor for Lucy or are you here to tell me the world is going under and you need me in order to save the world as only cryokinetics can kill the thing threatening our existence?” she asked and raised her eyebrows “Mind, I find the first more possible.” She looked up at Anansi once again with a soft smile “You can come down now, they won’t touch you, if they wish to keep on my good side.” She said and walked over towards him and reached her hand up towards him for him to take it and come down.

“Now… let us all just calm down and like Bob- Mr. Drake says, sit down and talk about this.” She said and looked down at herself blushing even more, realizing that she was only standing in her panties and a top, “Paige, you know where the tea and coffee is. You go make that, Bobby, make sure no one touches my friend here” She said and gestured to Anansi “And Anansi… stay safe, while I go… put on something.” She said and rushed out to her bathroom feeling a bit humiliated. She looked at her own reflection in the mirror as she grabbed a pair of pants hanging on the toilet and put them on, “Let’s see… They think you’re not capable of taking care of yourself… they think you’re a slut who has sex with someone you just met and they saw you in your underwear… Yeah this is going great Miss Jensen. You’re what they call in Danish a Tumpe.” She said and shook her head before stepping out looking over the people in her small apartment.

Well this was going to be a record breaking day for awkwardness. This was somewhere near the realm of walking in on a sibling having sex. Or Perhaps being caught messing around with a boy by your grandma. Would be closer. The spider creature was not only a mutant but a guest of Lucy's charge and frequented Icy's bed. This is precisely why Paige preferred to leave these things to Ms. Saint. Idly she pondered if this was a fluke of Ariel, the danish culture, or perhaps a side of New York she had not been privy too. Time to try for a salvage operation then. The young metamorph gritted her teeth and tried starting over.

“Let me keep this brief and simple. Sorry for coming in like that, I acquired a spare key awhile ago. Lucy sent me to check in on you when I could and I wanted to see if there was anything of note going on in X-Corp”. Husk angled her voice towards the bathroom and raised her voice in hopes Ariel would hear.

“Sorry guest of Ariel, you caught me off guard and I reacted poorly. As long as the knives stay away I will remain civil. There are a lot of wrong twisted things going on these days, but that's no excuse for ill manners. We came over to check on Ms. Jensen as there have been strange happenings on multiple fronts in the past few days.” To address the strange spider creature Paige shifted her posture to appear more relaxed and honest. She still didn't buy this whole event being happenstance however.

With a slight, sisterly glace she rounded on Iceman. “As to you Mr. Drake, thank you for having my back as always. Nice to see you know why you're here.”

She next attempted an awkward smile and looked back to the man with the spider features. “For give me please, I am Paige Guthrie and this is Robert Drake. We are members of the X-Men.”

Husk hoped this would do for now. She had never had a knack for dealing with awkwardness.

Mr. Spe-ider stuck to the wall, literally and figuratively, and stowed away the sharp pointy knives. Ariel explained and Bobby reacted as normal. He couldn’t hide his smirk when Ariel said they were sleeping together. Of course he knew what she meant but it was still pretty damn funny. She told the Spider that no one would hurt him, unless they wanted to be on her bad side.

He couldn’t help but comment, “Umm… I think you’d have a hard time with me there, Young Ice Padawan.” He flashed his boyish smile and winked, “But in all seriousness, I’m cool. …Pun intended.” He kept his smile and nodded. Paige apologized to the spider guy. And Ariel introduced them to the guy, Ariel called him ‘Anansi’. Interesting name. Paige then turned the finger back at him, “Hey now I get in enough trouble.

I can’t let my fellow Cryokinetic think little ole me was directly involved. I’m a pawn, a tool. I’m a checkers piece. Chess is for the rich and smart and you know I’m better at math then strategy.” Ariel went to go and change, it was then he too noticed she wasn’t really wearing any pants. Bobby, being the gentleman that he is moved his eyes away, and avoiding looking at Ariel as she left.

Paige reintroduced them to the guy and the Iceman interjected, “Whoa whoa! What’s with all this ‘Mr. Drake’ and ‘Robert Drake’ business? Hey guy, you can call me Bobby, in fact I insist on it. I hear Robert Drake, it means I’m in trouble. I hear Mr. Drake I look for Scotty. Ariel said you’re name was… Anansi, right?” His pronunciation wasn’t the best when he tried to say the spider’s name, but what did you expect of a kid from Port Washington, Long Island?

“Well…” He said nodding and moving his hands back and forth clasping them together when they swung forward, “This is fun.” He stood there for a split second of silence and replied again, “I’d go and get some java but… Ariel told me to make sure somebody…” He looked at Paige and smiled, “Didn’t hurt Anansi.” Bobby paused and looked at Paige, “We ain’t gettin coffee are we?”

He nodded at the realization and sat in the silence for a moment longer before he spoke again, “Sorry for wakin you up, dude.” He looked back and forth between Anansi and Paige, “Yo, Little Mermaid, get movin here I’m ready to kill for caffine.” He looked at Anansi and said, “Not literally of course.”

Anansi remained crouched, stuck to the wall his hands hanging limply but prepared to withdraw the knives if necessary. He had actually forgotten that they sheaths were strapped to his arms. The fact that he was having a good conversation with a beautiful woman also helped him to forget the weapons that he would normally use to defend himself from mutant haters if he were to come across any. His eyes watched the two people that had barged into the apartment as they apologized to them. The steel covered woman was far more formal than the previous ice covered man. As Ariel walked over to him and held out her hand saying it was ok to come down, he took her soft chilled hand and dropped down to the floor.

His eye caught her movement of looking down at herself and then blushing realizing what she was wearing. As she told Paige to make coffee he watched her head to the bathroom with one eye thankful no one could see his retinas in the midnight black orbs that were his eyes. Being left alone with the two of them, he twiddled with this thumbs and shifted his weight from foot to foot awkwardly as they introduced themselves. Finding out they were X-men did little to alleviate his awkwardness and tension.

As they stood there, Anansi listened as Bobby as he was called interjected and cleared out what he wanted to be called. Smiling under his mandibles, Anansi stood there listening to him what he wanted to be called. When he was addressed he looked at Bobby as he swung his arms back and forth. "Yes I am called Anansi," he said again keeping one eye on Paige "I am from the Morlocks and as for waking me up do not worry about it. It was very nice while it lasted." The mention of coffee perked him up and he still looked at Paige not seeing her move towards the kitchen for coffee.

The usual awkward silence started to fill the apartment as they stood and looked at each other before Ariel came back out of the bathroom. "Yeah I could do with some caffeine though I don't have anything to hide myself with if we leave Mutant Town," he said nervously looking at Ariel and the others.

Ariel smiled at Anansi walking towards him from the bathroom; he was even cuter in the sunlight and she had to concentrate not to blush any further. She turned towards the others as she had reached his side and looked at Paige raising her eyebrow “You said you had gotten a key a while ago? How? How exactly did you get a key to my apartment and what gives Lucy the right to tell you to barge into my place and wake me up from the best sleep I’ve had in months?” she asked, not realizing that her hand was slowly reaching towards one of Anansi’s to hold.

Her glance turned to Bobby and shook her head lightly with a chuckle, letting her curls bounce around “I may be the ice padawan out of the two of us and you may be older, more skilled and stronger, but I can still kick your butt. I don’t know how yet, but I’ll figure it out.” She said and chuckled, even though the morning hadn’t been anything like she expected and quite humiliating for her, she was still happy to see both Paige and Bobby again. It had been a long time and Xaviers were no matter what the first place she had felt accepted. “And even if I’m very, very upset with how you woke me up – You should remember how much I love my sleep – I’m glad to see you guys again.” She admitted to them with a big smile.

She turned around to face Anansi, holding one of his left hands in her right and pointed at both the newly arrived guests with her left “Paige and Bobby are from the X-men. They were a part of me learning to accept my mutation, they all were. Bobby has been my hero for quite a while, since he has similar powers as me and I hope to be able to take human form like he does, some day. But it seems like though we both are cryokinetics, that our powers are much different.” She explained and then she pointed at Paige, “Paige is friends with Lucy Saint, the woman I told you about last night. She’s been a great support the year I was there and apparently she has taken the role of ‘looking after me’ now that Lucy has disappeared for some reason.” She turned to look at the two others “Why is that anyway?”.

She looked at Anansi again and grinned “You’re silly. I have coffee here, but apparently Paige didn’t really want to go make some, though she kinda owes making some, considering how she woke us up.” She said and shook her head “Besides, you’re in the company of three other mutants now, no one would hurt you and if they tried, we’d be there to scare them off. Paige could rip some skin off, Bobby could go into his ice stage and I’m… me” she said lightly. She knew that it was only a matter of time before he would say he had to get back, it was a nagging thought that was sitting in the back of her head and she tried to find every single excuse she could to keep the thought from his mind. She needed time to gather up the courage to do something she hadn’t done in a while. She knew both of them were attracted to each other, especially after haven woken up wrapped up in his arms and she just needed the courage to ask him out on a date – it didn’t help much that the others were there though. She wasn’t usually a shy person, but the thought of the humiliation of being rejected in front of them, was enough to scare her off the idea for now.

There were three things Paige has never mastered, having game, overcoming awkward situations, and making small talk. These three combined to frequently make her the odd duck out in social situations. So of course her she was with two cyrokenetics who specialized in small talk and a Morlock that didn't speak much at all. With one sentence Ariel confirmed what Paige had suspected the entire time. Things were normal for the Danish mutant and she had no idea what was going on or that anything was afoot. She put on a brave smile and tried to forge ahead.

“Lucy and the others in Utopia have not been in touch for a few days. I'm sure they're fine, however I thought it would be prudent to check in on you and I was fairly certain you'd want a chance to see Robert again.” She flashed the group a hint of a grin. “Or was I wrong about that? As for the key just something I picked up during my long years of being a Guthrie. After all what if you were in danger and I didn't have a way to reach you?”

As she talked Paige moved slowly towards Ariel's bathroom. One rather large downside to her powers, they were less then clothing friendly. Usually she had a bit more time and preparation before changing and she could ensure that her clothing survived. Today however she had misread the situation and her haste was going to cost her.

“Now before we go out for coffee or whatever you'd like do you perhaps have a shirt and pants I could borrow? Mine appear to be shreds upon your floor.”

As the ladies and Anansi talked Bobby stood there nodding like a goof. “Umm…” Then the talk of going out to get coffee. “Oh well-“ But the talk continued on. The icy mutant felt odd being there, especially since one, they broke in while people were sleeping; and two, and this seemed more like a talk for Ariel and Paige.

Bobby did his best not to look at either of the two ladies, so he saw this as an opportunity to leave to two women alone so they could talk. “Coffee!” He suddenly spoke out loud, really loud. He paused and looked at everyone before clearing his throat and looking at Anansi, “You and me. We should get the coffee. I know a place that opens in a bit… We’ll go; they’ll talk and be back in time for cornflakes.”

Ah, the ole Total Recall joke. He felt it such a random line from the movie but it made him laugh every single time. But seeing as how they literally would be back in time for some sort of breakfast, Bobby felt it appropriate.

“Or Apple Jacks… whichever. This way… Umm. I don’t know I just want everyone to be fully clothed and… caffeinated.” He nodded like he was satisfied with his words. This was a good plan. And he was still keeping with the buddy system rule. ”I think….”

As Anansi stood and watched the other two while waiting for Ariel to come out of the bathroom, he fidgeted silently. When she came back out, his eyes focused on her and he smiled underneath his mandibles. When she reached for one of his hands and he was again a little surprised at how he was acting. Usually he would stick to himself and be out of arms reach of anyone, but today it was very different. He was letting people inside of his little bubble. Letting her take his hand he felt the cold aura that radiated from her palm and he wrapped his fingers around hers.

As he watched the steel woman walk towards the bathroom asking about clothes he observed her ruined clothes on the floor. It did seem like a kinda ineffective waste of clothing, but then again shedding skin to a more powerful element or at least thats what it looked like. When Bobby addressed him he looked at him and nodded. "Yeah I think coffee is a good idea," he said "coffee would be excellent."

"Caffeinated and clothed I agree with you there," again responding "Also I kinda don't want to be here when her skin falls off." Looking down at Ariel he smiled as he squeezed her hand. "Do you want anything for food?" he asked her thinking that it would be a good idea for the girls to sit and talk.

Ariel looked between the two of them a bit confused. Lucy had mentioned Utopia once or twice, but Ariel had never gotten a hang of where it was or what it was other than a haven for her former fellow students and teachers. She opened her mouth but let Paige continue to speak, hoping that the woman would explain further, but all she really did was explaining her choice of companion to break into the apartment and why she had thought it was alright to get herself a key. “Of course I’m always delighted to see Bobby. He was one of my favorites at the institute, though it does concern me you all know that.” She said and scratched her hair thinking for a moment. She needed to figure out a way to get them to tell her more about the whole Utopia deal.

Paige suddenly talked about clothes and Bobby talked about coffee with Anansi and Ariel felt the whole room spinning for a while. This was going way to fast and her questions kept growing inside of her mind and she still hadn’t gotten a chance to ask them. She turned towards her door and froze the lock and door handle “Hold it everybody.” She said and looked at Paige “You mean to tell me that the reason I haven’t heard from Lucy, isn’t because I broke her vase, but because they’re missing?” She asked and looked at Bobby. She knew she couldn’t get Paige to spill anything, but Bobby wasn’t as uptight as the elder Guthrie sibling and she pointed at him “Paige, there’s clothes hanging over the tub. It’s clean, you can borrow that.” She said keeping eye contact with the male cryokinetic.

“You better spill it Drake. I may not have a chance against you when it comes to powers, but your girl is my boss and I’m fully capable of telling her about this incident of breaking into my home and seeing me in underwear.” She said, narrowing her eyes “Where is Lucy and the others? What is going on?” She asked and held tight to Anansi’s hand. She wasn’t going to show the two X-men, but she was scared that she might have lost the one protector she had in this strange country and for some reason she didn’t mind him knowing. In fact, she didn’t mind Anansi knowing a lot of the things she hid from the people around her, which also frightened her a lot.

She turned to Anansi with a smile, he wasn’t a part of this and so she didn’t see a reason for him to be punished “I have coffee in the kitchen.” She said and leaned in closer to him and lowered her voice “I know this must be awkward for you… But I’d like for you to stay for a little while longer… I have something to ask you… Something I’ll regret a lot if I don’t get to ask you before you leave… So… You could make coffee and keep out of the awkward zone?”

Paige had had just about enough. She was not one for shenanigans at the best of times and she had reached her limit. This was not about social gathering or being lovingly awkward. This was not a time for silly one night stands or humor or clothes or any of the dozen or so things that kept side tracking them. Ariel was actually in the right mindset, there were things to accomplish her and it was time to accomplish them.

Husk grabbed a blanket off the bed with one hand and wrapped it about herself. With the other hand she grabbed at her forehead and literally tore her face off, discarding the steel and revealing her normal flesh beneath. She then casually took a seat on the edge of the bed and shared a glower with each of the three people in the room, saving her best one for Bobby.

“All right people, we're not kids, this isn't an after school special, and I'm not a babysitter. Lucy handles these things well but I'm not her. Ariel, you have my apologizes for interrupting your crazy time with strangers. Anansi you have my deep regret for reacting like a racist scumbag. Robert... go make the damn coffee.”

Paige rubbed her temples a bit and muttered a quick prayer for strength and patience. She decided jut to be straight about things. If the Morlock was a security risk she'd deal with it.

“We've lost contact with Utopia. That would be where the school is located now and where Lucy Saint works as a nurse. In addition strange, inconsistent things keep popping up, so here I am making sure you are safe and hoping to get an idea of what X-Corp might be struggling with. I'm not going to tell you the location of the school, so do not bother asking. Nor am I about to discuss details of the communication loss. So is there anything you can tell me or question you have that I can answer?”

Paige was sure she sounded harsh, most likely angry and upset as well, but that was fine for the moment. This was not her area of expertise nor did she wish it to ever be so.

It looked like the Spider guy was on board. Right on, the two of them could leave and get some nice fresh air. Or so he thought. Ariel froze the doorknob and yelled at him. “Look Ariel… this just seems more like a chi-“ She told him that he had best tell her what was going on because his girlfriend was her boss. And she’d tell Hart that he saw her in her undies after breaking in.

“Dude…. Ariel, that’s cold, even for us… that’s Arctic.” But then, Paige yelled at him. Telling him to go make the coffee. Jeeze, it was ‘we’re going out for coffee’ one moment, now he was told to be the barista bitch in the kitchen. And since when did everyone think he could even make coffee? He pointed to the kitchen and spoke, “Gonna… make… yea. Don’t no one ask for a macchiato!”

He muttered as he walked towards the kitchen, “Yall be lucky if I can make regular coffee. Should just sneak out the window and go to Starbucks…” Once he reached the kitchen, he groaned more, “I don’t even know why I’m getting yelled at. People be askin me to go with them to check on other people and yell at me. I didn’t do anything.”

He looked around to see if he could gather up the stuff to make coffee. He never really made coffee before. Hot cocoa, sure. Tea, definitely. But coffee? Nope! He always went to a café, or coffee place. He looked through every single cabinet, hoping for instant coffee. None. “Damnit.” He grabs the coffee beans, one of those filter things and the coffee brewer.

He filled up the water, placed the filter, and put the whole coffee beans within the filter. Bobby pressed the button and waited. The iced mutant didn’t really know that in order to make coffee properly the beans had to be grounded up. He folded his arms, and leaned against the counter, looking sideways at the brewer. “It’s too early to get yelled at…” He was pouting.

Anansi just stood amid the group of people that had assembled in the apartment. He was still unsure what to do, but he knew that they weren't leaving for coffee. Ariel froze the door handle to keep them from leaving and then asked if he could go make coffee. Nodding, he went to head towards the kitchen but paused as he watched the woman peel away the steel and reveal skin. It was certainly an amazing power but it creeped the spider out, which he knew was ironic. He certainly scared people out of their skins and minds. As Ariel drew close and whispered to him, he nodded as he headed to the kitchen with Bobby.

Bobby beat him to the kitchen and began making coffee, though it seemed like the icy mutant didn't really know how seeing as he put the coffee beans in whole in the machine. Chuckling the spider watched as the other man leant against the counter and complained how it was to early. With one arm he stopped the maker and with another he grabbed the grinder. "Ok first things first, you need to grind the beans or else it will taste terrible," he said as he placed the beans into the grinder and pressed the button. The whir of the machine and the sound of grinding beans permeated the silence and it ended just as quickly.

Putting them back in the machine, he switched it on and listened to the water bubble and perk. "It is to early that is for sure," he commented as he grabbed some mugs from the counter top and placed them beside the machine "I usually am never awake until noon, though its hard to tell time. Our days are different than the surface." Shrugging his shoulders he waited for the coffee to perk.

Ariel looked at Bobby giving him a stern look, something that was rarely seen on the icy blue girl, “Yeah well, I am known to be worse than the Snow Queen from time to time.” She mumbled and turned to glare at Paige who was now sitting naked on her bed, wrapped in her sheets. She then turned her glare into an overly friendly smile that beamed of sarcasm “You’re right Paige. You’re no Lucy, though you do seem to try and contain her sweet and patient personality. It’s quite clear you lack some of her abilities, that makes her a great nurse, so I guess it’s fine you’re not one.” She said and looked at the woman sitting in front of her. “Don’t try and be like her, be yourself Paige. I know you too damn well to be fooled by any of this. I bet that the main reason you came was to snoop up some information about my job and I bet that you chose me to be the one you’d ask, because you have – as you said yourself – promised Lucy to look after me, before she ‘vanished’.” She said and placed her hands on her hips.

She kept a sharp eye contact with Paige before she continued “First things first. What I do with people in my own home is strictly up to me. I will not allow you to barge in and judge me. Second of all, not that it’s any of your concern, Anansi and I were sleeping. We fell asleep on each side of the bed and when we woke up we were holding each other. Such things happen when sleeping and you know what? I was feeling safe and happy, the moment I woke up and felt him hold me. And I do intend to ask him out, once you and I have settled these things.” She said not really considering the possibility that the boys would be able to hear her words. She was too caught in the moment of telling Paige off to really bother with keeping her voice down.

“Third of all,” she continued now pacing up and down the floor, “You brought Bobby here with you. A poor excuse to try and gain my trust, since you know how much I respect him and how I secretly admired him to the point where he might as well have been on a pedestal for me. What you forgot is that I’m not that 19 year old kid who thought everything was new and cool, anymore. I’m not stupid Paige, I would never betray my job by handing over information’s, specially not in front of my bosses boyfriend, whom could have might as well told you everything and probably even more than what I already know.” She said and stopped her pacing and looked at Paige with a smile that indicated how much she thought all of this was ridiculous.

“And to top it all off, you expect me to hand you over information on a silver plate, after you barged in here with a key that I know for a fact I never gave you, practically attack my guest, judge me for having been sleeping next to a guy, tell me that the woman who is like an annoying big sister to me is missing and that you haven’t heard from any of my old friends who were with her and then deny me any information.” She said and paused to catch her breath looking at Paige like she had never seen the woman before, “Do you even remember how I am? Let me remind you; I am the girl who never betrayed anyone, not even when I got blamed for doing something I didn’t do. I’m not stupid Paige.” She shook her head in disbelief over the whole situation.

“All that said, you apologized to Anansi. They’re making coffee now. I’m gonna let all of this slide and simply be joyful in the fact that I got visitors from my old school and I intend to enjoy this time and I expect you to do the same. We will drink a cup of coffee together, talk about old times and forget everything about getting information out of each other, unless you change your mind and decide to tell me about this communication loss and how you guys intend to recreate the communication or find them all.” With those words Ariel turned around and walked towards the bathroom and grabbed a hold of the clothes that Paige was going to borrow and with a smile that made her seem like she had not been pissed just 6 seconds ago she handed the clothes to Paige “Here you go, I think they’re about your size. I also threw in a sports bra, as I know how bothersome it is to not wear anything to support the girls.” She chuckled, making the elder woman know that the fight was over and all was forgiven. “Now, go put it on and I’ll go check on how hopeless the guys are in a kitchen.” She said and walked over to the kitchen and peeked in. “How’s it going out here? Did you kill my coffee machine or are you cooperating with it?”

As the ice princess raved and released her pent up fustrationss in the form of sound waves, Paige made careful mental notes of Ariel's posture, inflections, response times, and body language. All seemed to be on the level and the omnimorph filed the cryokenetic into the “highly unlikely” file. She felt a few twinges of guilt and shame for her actions and the deeper levels of manipulation she had to employ, but for now the ends justified the means.

In any invasion, Intel was the key to both survival and victory. According to her own calculations there was a high probability that in any group of 4 high powered individuals, one would be an infiltrator. Paige was of course still herself, and Ariel's reaction would not be possible based solely on their previous interactions.

With one half of gathering sorted Paige let herself relax and quickly dressed. The clothes were not something she would normally choose herself but they would do for now. Checking to make sure everything was tucked in and looking proper she followed Ariel into the kitchen and moved to speak soft tones into her ear.

“I think you and Lucy need to have a long talk, Miss Jensen. Perhaps you can begin such with the themes you just peppered me with. As I feel you should be informed we recently lost contact with Lucy and others do to an act of sabotage and what might be a concentrated effort to cut the factions off from each other. Please forgive me for playing things close to the vest, but we all have orders to obey.” She allowed herself a brief pause before adding a little more loudly, “Thank you for dispelling all of the utter bullshit though. I needed that, perhaps we all did.”

Paige then brought forth a gentle smile over her features and found a place to stand and keep tabs on the room. She was, for the most part, done being social. She had come for a reason and that reason was fulfilled. As the younger woman had so bluntly stated, the time for information had passed.
