Becca swallowed nervously. The tension was getting worse in the room. Emma was upset and Fanya seemed to be provoking her to get the information that she wanted. With her cheeks still bright red, Becca saw the soft smirk cross those perfect lips. She knew that the red-painted woman had caught her looking, she was sure of it. She shook her head lightly, trying to banish the very persistent thoughts that were the polar opposite of the task at hand. A sigh escaped her more loudly than she had intended and she leaned back, trying to focus her attention on the words being said while trying to shut out the people themselves.<br/><br/>The information jumbled together like a bad radio signal and it was starting to make her head ache. She had to focus, just get through the meeting and then go take that cold shower that she had not bothered with before. She was sure that the immediate mission would have little, if anything to do with her in any case but it felt nice to be included. Except the part where inclusion meant having to sit and appear calm in the face of Fanya's teasing. Becca had no doubt that when she walked by, being sure to put herself right in her eye line, that it was intentional even before she noticed the wink. This woman was trying to drive her crazy. Becca fidgeted slightly and folded her hands back into her lap.<br/><br/>Thule, workshop... did Annie just say penetrate?... infiltrate, that sounded less... invasive. Okay, things were getting settled. If Becca had any luck at all the meeting would be over soon and she could skip the pleasantries and just flee to her room and that icy shower. With every passing moment the brunette was becoming more and more tense. For what must have been the hundredth time, Becca found herself replaying the crazy events of the day that had led her here. A frown creased her lips and she remembered her promises to help. It made it a little easier to focus. She still had to help Duos, if she was able. There would be time to deal with her own issues later.<span style="color: indigo">"I will help in any way that I am able."</span>The words were spoken clearly and politely and then Becca lapsed back into silence. She simply went back to observing and assimilating what was going on, although she did make a deliberate point to not let her eyes fall on Fanya, the woman was an instant distraction for her.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
