I’d solve a lot. And personally, I wouldn’t mind it. Okay, don’t mention that one to them either.”</em><br/><br/>She was right, that imagery was rather.....odd!  Having slept with Damien a number of times over the past few years she had a fairly good image in her mind what him and Hiro would look like.  Not that Allia ever thought anything like that would ever happen, she did understand the dynamic between the two men and how grunting out in a sweaty way could solve some issues.  The image brought a big toothy grin to her face she couldn't hide.<br/><br/>"Oh that is an rather tasty image isn't it!"  Allia continued with the laugh that had been building up inside her.  Finally catching her composure,  "I think you've taken command in a way that most couldn't.  And you've done it with style and grace, much more than some people would."  She leaned forward again, reaching out to lay her hand on Kari's knee again, this time with a soft look to her eyes as she looked up at Kari.  "You helped your father keep things together when it looked bleak for the Company, and you've carried us fairly far in a very short period.  It's in your blood, your instincts drive you, just like with me."<br/><br/>She looked down to the floor for a minute, her thoughts and desires clouding her mind.  "I will say I've noticed you've been pretty tense lately.  Please tell me to get out if I'm being too personal, but it's been a while since you or anyone in the company has had a real break.  The last three ops were pretty busy, we haven't had much time to relax."  A rather sly grin twisted across Allia's face as she stared up into Kari's eyes again.  "Maybe we need to find a better release than tearing up Merc companies that are in over their heads.  I for one get a rush out of the win, but it's not the same."  Allia shrugged, the smile still on her face as she leaned back against the wall opposite Kari again as she watched her expression.
