Speaker nodded at Maia's morning greetings and would have replied in turn but his trail of thought was disrupted by the shattered glass and the angry human storming off. He looked after Zero as the cyborg legs thumped through the corridors until he could hear the man no more and then shook his head with a sigh.<span style="color: #4da6ff">"Patience, everyone have patience. Let us hear what the General has to say before we venture out. The fewer of us that need the message relayed to, the quicker we will eventually be off to explore and observe this world. I shall go fetch mister Zero once we know what information the General has for us."</span>His veil smiled warmly again, even if his mouth was busy munching on the piece of toast. His amber eyes reflected the same warmth, the Entirassi, by culture, unwilling to stoop to dishonesty, however small.<br/><br/>His eyes then rested, half closed at the two naga at the table, both interesting in their own way and both so very charming, even with their tendency to dominate. He felt proud in the fact he had at least once chance to know both somewhat and learn about them more than the academy texts had about the race.<br/><br/><span style="color: #4da6ff">"I believe we will find new and interesting things to document and observe, good Issy. Unknown now but that is what makes them so interesting. Believe it or not but I am as excited as good miss Trix here, in my own way."</span>he inclined his head at the eager Dryadi explorer and finished the piece of toast. He then stood up and moved to the food processor to get himself a cup of what Evy said resembled etna'ara tea, waving his hand at the mess of broken glass and spilled alcohol, levitating all of it in a ball and disposing it in the waste reclamation area of the mess hall. The smell of the booze alone made him frown and he only lightened up, sighing with relief, when the mess was out of sight.<br/><br/>He returned to the table shortly after and took his seat again, slowly sipping the warm brew that so resembled the tea but was just not the same.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
