<div align="center"><strong>Headquarters, St. Cloud, Florida: Rafael: Siouxsie, Shadow, Hi Speed, Semi, any</strong></div><br/>His natural alertness and trained awareness tells Rafael that somebody has entered the room before he heard Siouxsie's voice causing him to turn and look at her. Seeing the way she scans the room before speaking and the way Ferdi stays close instantly alerts him that something is wrong. His seeming perpetual smile disappears and is replaced by a look of concern. He is the only employee of Black Heart Inc. at least as far as he knows that knows her real history and that she suffers from PSTD and why. So as she rushes back out he stands and follows her just in case he needs to intervene in something. Standing in the doorway next to Ferdi his smile returns as he watches how she deals with Shadow. When she comes back out of WRII he stops her in the hallway as he gazes into her eyes for a moment. He says nothing but a clear look of concern can be read on his face. This is something they have done many times in his nearly four years he has been working with her. After a moment he smiles warmly at her and lets her go.<br/><br/>Satisfied that Siouxsie is back in her right mind, well as right as it gets after her ordeal, Rafael steps back into the doorway to WRII. He notes all those their giving both new and old members a silent nod. His gaze focuses on Shadow. ”A couple words of advice. First, do not ever fuck with Siouxsie's space. Second, never show up for a briefing unshowered. Save your showing off for actual missions.” As he finishes the perfume is already starting to affect him with its over powering floral aroma. He turns and heads back to WRI before his eyes start to water.<br/><br/>When Nichole bounces in Rafael is already back in his seat leaving the empty chair between himself and Semi. He watches the unusual way she greets their mountainous teammate and is unaffected by it. When she greets him thanking him for his suggestion about Mexican food he simple smiles warmly and nods. ”Happy to help. I'm glad you agree that they are the best.” Knowing why she had asked him in the first place he thinks it only to ask her a similar question based solely on her appearance, he knows she is from Arkansas. He looks at her red hair and smiles playfully. ”Perhaps you could return the favor by pointing me to your favorite Irish restaurant.” His smile turns into a smirk as she removes her jacket and fusses with her tee shirt. ”It's just a tee shirt and I think you look great. So don't fret it.”<br/><br/>Rafael then looks at the pitcher and plastic cups. After a brief hesitation he reaches and takes hold of the pitcher with one hand and the stacked cups with the other. ”Anybody else care for a water?” He then separates the cups and pours one for himself and anybody that says they want one also.
