When Marina arrived, Alyx took the tea with a quiet thank you and took a small sip. It was hot but good. He was a bit uneasy and needed to hear what Sera had to say. And unfortunately, needed to excuse themselves from "standing in the lobby" so to speak.<br/><br/>Sera's way of drinking tea was interesting at the least. It showed how vital her suit was to protect from the outside elements. He could only imagine what it could be like living in a helmet for an entire lifetime. He barely knew anything about her species, but he was aware that the conditions that they survived was only on their homeworld and nowhere else. He tried not to stare and act polite.<br/><br/>Having already told Lyra and Panacea what to to, he motioned for Shay and Sera to follow, nodding again to Marina in thanks for the tea. Walking away at a somewhat leisurely pace, he started to head towards the CIC, allowing Shay to start her "unofficial" tour.<br/><br/>Once out of earshot, he gave Sera a somewhat inquiring eye. "So....what kind of information are we talking about exactly?" He waved his cup around a little. "Intercepted communications? Data logs? Or just plain "word off the street" sort of thing?"
