Nick stood with Ava, already knowing the words that would be coming out of her mouth next. He adjusted his shirt a bit and nodded as Ms. Worthington announced that they would walk them out. Aside from Mr. Worthington's initial coldness, the visit went by much better than he had expected it to. He gently took Ms. Worthington's hand as she offered it. "Thank you Ms. Worthington. This was... much nicer than what I had prepared myself to expect." Nick said, letting go of her hand. "If you'd like, I can have our anti-specter firewall system sent for ARIA. It's not on the civilian market just yet. I offer the same to all the families of my men. I would have sent it sooner, I just felt the offer would be rejected if it was sent along with the notice."<br/><br/>Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Ava and Mr. Worthington sharing some private words. He may playfully poke at that later, but otherwise wouldn't pry. It was probably just something a overprotective father would say to reassure himself moreso than his capable daughter. When their conversation was over, Mr. Worthington turned to address him. Taking the hand, Nick spoke. "Honestly, I knew you would expect someone else. Someone like my father -who conscripts for leverage- or the lechers I occasionally have to work with. I prepared for that as well, in case I was invited in. But I am glad the both of us were surprised."<br/><br/>With that, Nick released the hand and turned, entering the SUV. Once they were both inside and the driver began to head out, Nick finally spoke. "I think your mother knows we're a little bit more than strictly boss and soldier," Nick said, reaching down on to the floorboard and holding up Ava's discarded panties, flashing a smirk. "Maybe not having these on is the culprit?" Tossing them aside, Nick reached forward and pressed the button to speak to the front half of the vehicle. "Back to the airport please." He paused for a moment, still holding the button. "Unless there's somewhere else you want to go?"
