(i don't know why I'm so uncertain about this post, but i hope it's good enough)<br/><br/>Resla stopped dead in her tracks. she wasn't alone. Her fear spiked as a voice she had become familiar with pierced through the silence. oh fuck. fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck! what could she do? her first instinct was to run, try her best to pretend this didn't happen, but she had clearly already been noticed. There was still a chance though, though for her to do what, she was unsure. Sin's voice was calm, and that reassured her, if only slightly. her body was completely still as Sin continued to speak. Spectra? oh, right. well, this could be going better. She stood and listened to every word, her breath held, as if the slightest movement was a death sentence. her eyes darted around, her mind racing, heart pounding.<br/><br/>The words of the captain seemed distant, and hard to make yet, yet simultaneously pierced through Resla. Finally deciding she needed to do something, she slowly took a step back...<br/><br/>Everything seemed to go in slow motion as Sin suddenly began to move, facing the scaled visage of Resla, which had now gone almost completely white. And then they made eye contact, and it was all over. All of that time unnoticed had been wasted because of one stupid mistake. She took a deep breath, along with another step back, while slowly and discretely extending her claws, fight or flight racing through her head. she tried to speak, but nothing escaped her mouth. She wanted to get mad at herself. a trained warrior, cowering before one single person, but she knew better than that. Sin was someone she knew she should fear. Resla tried to speak again, with a slightly better result. "please, I-I really don't mean to... I mean just wanted... oh god, please don't..." she pleaded in fractured sentences, trying her best to hide her claws. What could she really say? she was clearly the one in the wrong here, and she knew she couldn't justify it, but there had to be something... "please, i don't mean any harm! let me make it up to you... s-somehow" she added, clinging to her last  strand of hope.
