<strong>(A)</strong><em>"Not just "at first", it was always a problem for us. That's why the shuttle is our choice. Up until now..."</em>Meg let out a kind of annoyed sigh. It was obvious that she wasn't really a fan of this change.<br/><em>"We need a team, Meg. Or we won't survive out here. Not anymore."</em>Zal backed her up instantly.<br/><em>"I know."</em>Meg fixed her backpack as one of the straps slid down a bit. Just a tiny bit, barely noticable. At any other moment, she'd ignore it. But not right now - she was obviously slightly nerveous.<br/><br/><strong>(A)</strong><em>"It isn't exactly a secret from you or the team, since we will be working together... But still, we try to keep it a secret for everyone else. So hopefully you will respect that in case of interaction with others, especially this... Legion."</em>Meg answered Nero's question. Her eyes changed once again - pupil turned into a smal slit, while the blue iris changed color a to a more vivid cyan, reflecting the light of the ship's interior. Almost feels like glowing.<strong>(A)</strong><em>"And we hope that this fact about the two of us...Won't be a problem, not a reason for us to not work together either, Mister Nero."</em>Zal answered in a distorted version of Meg's voice - a bit higher pitch and with a slight echo. Then Meg's eyes went back to normal.<br/>They both followed Nero around the ship, examining the rooms he was showing. And, obviously, listening to his monologue.<br/><em>"He surely is your type of a man, Meg... Clever, as well as seems like a gentleman judging already by his speech and posture."</em><br/>Meg didn't answer Zal, but her cheeks kind of blushed a bit. Perhaps it's due to her being dressed in a leather jacket and Condor having a bit of a higher internal temperature... Suuuuure it is that, yes yes. It's nothing more.<br/><br/>She also kept silent, listening to him talk all the way up to his last questions.<br/><strong>(A)</strong><em>"It's not exacly symbiotic... Or maybe it is. we don't really know. Neither do we care about scientific part of it. In short - we are dependant on each other. So don't worry, we won't try to assimilate your or anything. There is just the two of us. With will to survive."</em>Meg said, then the eyes changed again.<br/><strong>(A)</strong><em>"And no plans to infect you with some brain parasites to control you or anything like that. Heard about that - so disgusting... But yes, I am glad you asked... I am Zaldira Horas. And I am more than just a symbiote. It's a rather... Long story, perhaps another time, if you don't mind."</em>Zal streteched Meg's hand for a handshake. Even though... Zal and Meg share the senses as well, so when Meg shook Nero's hand back there, at the bar, Zal technically did that as well... So confusing. But at least the eyes are a dead giveaway about who's in control now.<br/><br/>
