His entrance into the complex had not gone unwarranted – news of his arrival was spreading like wild fire through the SILO network and already Gregorie was keeping tabs on him through his 'Angel' Serifelia. However for now he watched and listened contemplating this man's personality on only the outward monikers that he displayed on his boisterous prowl through the building's multi-levels.<br/><br/>Many of the assistants and lab technicians were given pause to their work while Alex strutted in – his tardiness – curiousity – hell even some held the questioning gaze that screamed 'Really … this guy? REALLY?' Then other's looked at him like he was a dead man walking – the later that held this worry in their eyes would quickly avert there gaze. Overall the room read a mixed level of aggitation. All of this filtered through Mishka even with her muffle-headphones on. Her mind was a literal bee hive of mixed emotions and she felt her teeth slowly gritting down as she tried to focus on something anything – the grout cracks in the floor seemed the best thing for her to focus on, her eyes tracing the line of a single square over and over again as Alex announced loudly about autographs. She hadn't exactly noticed the peacock of a man just yet – not truly he was one of the many voices in her head,<br/><br/>Amalee, Jakob's personal assistant who'd fled when he screamed for someone to find Alex earlier came quick stepping back into the lab as Alex leaned upon the wall beside Mishka, Amalee leaned in to whisper frantically to Jakob about things – and Jakob was enveloped in his screen – didn't really here her explaining that Mishka's new partner was just here now!<br/><br/>Mishka felt the fog of many focus with near pin point clarity on Alex, his own emotional status blurring over her mind like a cloud of very confident blue she thought – her eyes still focused on that single square before her. Interest and perhaps attraction bubbled through the bright blue in shades of pink and violet Mishka's crystalline eyes seemed to dilate as she took this in – at first his words basically slipped by her seemingly unnoticed. It was so though it simply took her a moment to process the words the sound of his voice and distract it from the plume of colors that filtered in her mind. No Mishka could not read thoughts – but by reading emotions one could say she could read deeper than a person's simple meandering thought.<br/><br/>Slowly she blinked her eyes and a tired gaze lifted to look into Alex's eyes – such a familiar shade of blue green she realized that color was how she would describe his personality. She slowly lifted thin fingers to pull down the headphones and spoke after many moment's since he'd spoken. She was just about to speak when suddenly Jakob's voice cut across and Mishka physically flinched from the sound of it. Amalee was getting the bad dog treatment Jakob mostly used on TAINTEDs. His voice was rather angry and he was saying something about her being inadequate having not told him that Alex had arrived.<br/><br/>Yanking the collar of his white jacket he turned from her when she tried to explain – dismissive and rude to the core – he strode over to Mishka and Alex. “Good Afternoon Mr. Lowett – so glad for you to finally join us...” He seemed only just then to realize Mishka was standing there two – blue eyes locked on the floor before her again. “Ah yes good You're here too” he said meaning Mishka his voice had turned almost a seething tone when he mentioned the young woman then looked back and switched back to politely rude once again “So you are who Bane has chosen for Ms. Vorona's Last ditch effort. Well I do hope you are aware of what you;re getting into and that you are not simply wasting my time” As though he were some precious commodity. “Well then first some Q&A– have you only just joined PAGAN or ever had experience working with the TAINTEDs?” He yanked out a tablet from his coat's pocket and waited for replies.<br/><br/>Mishka felt the muddle of colors enclosing her mind again – but fought to push it back while blue eyes curious looked over this new comer – was he going to be able to … control her. She hated to admit it but she was barely in control of herself half the time. Slowly her eyes lifted back to look into his eyes – to study his clothes his hair while finally the low hum of energy caught her ear and she found her eyes looking at his arm. She was intrigued to say the least – or she felt she was anyways. She then turned eyes past Jakob and noticed Amalee looked to be nearly in tears. Anger welled up from the other woman's sadness and it was as though the area around Mishka was heating up slowly. She turned blue eyes on Jakob and a dark glare had settled there.
