<strong>Sabien Theunissen</strong><br/><br/>Sabien gives a slight nod to the officer and gestures to Tiphanie to step over allowing her to get dressed.  At this point, though, she was barefoot and her shirt had been reduced to a bare midriff.  A bit of tousling and playing with her hair and she was able to get that under control once more.  Of course, her ciggie was gone by this point, but it was honestly more of a prop than anything else.<br/><br/>"Well then, now that that is out of the way."  She straightens her coat a bit, "I should like, at this point, to get Theresa something more than simply basic medical care.  I am personally disinclined to hand her to mortal authorities or civilian hospitals.  It is her decision however, though I doubt that your hospitals would be willing to relinquish her save to your, shall we say, authoritative caretaking?"  She tilts her head slightly the one side, "I am curious to how much you overheard, let alone what it is that you believe is going on..."  She smiles with some amusement, "usually I would not discuss such matters, but these are somewhat extenuating circumstances and I suspect Theresa would object strenuously to anything untoward.  A position, I hasten to add, that I intend to respect."  She gives Tiphanie a nod, sending the lab assistant scurrying to stand behind her.  She may not be able to protect the girl, but she could at least act as an ersatz bulletproof vest if the officer should open fire.
