Alicia just shrugged a bit.<span style="color: #00b300">“I could be wrong, and he would be, with that appearance and a scent to be mistaken for one of your people, he would have to be a very heavy gene-mod.  Infinitely more modded than me.”</span>She responded as she watched the snake man retreat.  She couldn’t smell him since she had sealed herself in her suit.  If he was a splicer, then she was right, he was heavily modded.  Her own was just to modify her natural abilities.  The Heat and ears were a bad side effect of a less than legal doctor doing the mods.  To get splices as obvious as this guy’s, it had to be on purpose.<span style="color: #00b300">“Or he could be a half-breed?”</span><br/><br/>Of course the attention and words from speaker got a glare from Alicia.  Their leader couldn’t even control himself with just a slight whiff?  This could be bad.  But she ignored him.  Instead taking the obviously offered seat in the water-naga’s coils.  She needed a soft seat after all that happened.  She took that seat in time to see Issy come back, which pulled a sigh of relief from her.  At least they had one sensible guard who could keep the bull honest when he got back.<br/><br/><span style="color: #00b300">“Welcome back Issy, glad to see you are alright.  With you we have at least one dependable guard.”</span>She said, while trying to ignore the show that Evy was displaying for them from the fae and moths.<br/><br/>At the question about where they had to go, or their decision, She hesitated as she opened her mouth for her opinion.   Should they go back?  She knew she wanted to, especially with a heat just starting.  In another day, two tops, she would be useless without her pills.  But she wasn’t sure if the ship had what was needed to make her pills.  It hadn’t been a thought since she had brought enough for many months’ time with her.   But it sounded like the ground base did.<span style="color: #00b300">“Evy, does the ship have what would be needed for the doc to make some more of my pills?  If we can get to the base and make them, or go back to the ship to get me a new supply, then I won’t be much of a lure or hindrance any more.”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
