He wasn’t happy, she knew that, but she could tell he was angry, but with no one truly to be angry with right now. As the sat in the car, she looked towards her friend, seeing his frustration nearly radiating off him. She gave a low hum, thinking for a moment, hands in her lap as they waited to leave the car and meet the demoness they would be working with.<br/><br/>“Azmodiel said Oei planned this whole mission; it was her say.”  She wouldn’t go back in Oei’s decision, whatever the Director wanted, she got. People trusted her judgement, no questions asked, and Azmodiel was the same. They couldn’t deny what she wanted, and if Oei believed Kyless could be of use, then she would be in the mission. Though, wether it was her previous insecurities that were welling back up, or Kevin’s words that she listened to, the young researcher couldn’t help but frown.<br/><br/>“I‘m willing to do those things Kevin; to help keep people safe from demons. That’s the whole reason we both joined, isn't it?”  She couldn’t help but fall silent for a few moments, her usual bright demeanor beginning to dampen; something unusual for her. Her words were soft, as if hesitant, afraid of what she was daring to ask, considering their friendship.<br/><br/>”Don’t you trust me?”<br/><br/>She was so willing to help with the mission, but Kevin seemed so against it. She knew he was protective, he always had been, but did he not think she could do this one mission, the one time she’s been asked? The one time she may have to actually prove herself to be more then a lab assistant? It was as if her heart gave a dull pain, feeling as if her stomach dropped; did he not trust her?<br/><br/>The silence consumed the two as they sat in the car, before Mallory took a breath; they had to go meet with everyone. Leaving the car, she made her way over to Kyless, with Kevin not too far behind. Though her annoyance with Kevin’s trust towards her was subsided for the moment when she noticed Kyless, and...sneezing glitter? Different colors?<br/><br/>Mm, that didn’t seem good.<br/><br/>“We always go together Kyless, it’s just how things are.” Always have been more like, as Mallory had vividly remembered always being near her friend. The two had been inseparable as children, and even as adults now, they still were the same; though, Kevin’s job is what kept him close.<br/><br/>Though Kevin’s mention of the two still being adjacent, as Kyless put it, made her quiet once more, though more by Kevin’s words. Either he chose the wrong words, or maybe he was deliberate (she wasn’t sure), but it just made her more...she wasn’t sure, honestly. Hurt? Was she not capable of taking care of herself?
