Covud remained silent as D’crux sat down close to him… The sweet scents on her skin tantalizing and new to him, almost distracting him completely from the astropathic choir. When she asked them all to voice any questions he simply shook his head. He couldn’t help but notice, out of the corner of his remaining eye, the slight twinge of jealousy Torin seemed to display for just a fleeting a moment. Covud shrugged mentally at the sight, he had no real interest in the woman beside him, granted she was startlingly beautiful, but he had far too many things on his mind to seek out romantic company at this precise moment. At least not yet, even then he would most certainly not seek out his employer for such company. It was entirely unprofessional. Although… He couldn’t entirely deny the idea wasn’t slightly tempting.<br/><br/>At the sororita’s entry into the bridge, Covud’s entire body tensed instantly… Unlike his discomfort towards the servitors and astropathic choir, this was far more visible. Paranoia briefly grasped his mind. It was not unheard of for Inquisitors to travel in the guise of Rogue Traders, perhaps this was all part of an elaborate trap for him and he had walked straight into it unwittingly.<span style="color: red">’No… She’s not armed, if she was here to kill me, then surely she’d be armed. She wouldn’t have bothered to introduce herself either,’</span>He reasoned mentally, able to keep a grip on himself. When she did not appear to notice or recognise him he almost sighed with relief… This Sister Naser knew nothing of him, that was good news.<br/><br/>The Arbitrator’s blood red eye did not leave Naser however and he continued to watch her like a hawk, unable to fully shake his paranoia. He was no longer paying attention to any conversation.<span style="color: red">“If there’s nothing left to discuss I shall take my leave, madam D’crux,”</span>He said, once he deemed he wasn’t interrupting… He did not avert his gaze from the sister as he spoke though. Not waiting for a reply Covud briskly walked towards the exit, eager to be out of the sister’s sight.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
