Seda’s face had turned an odd blueish shade in the places one would expect a person to blush. It was a shame Nikolai would never see the look of utter embarrassment and mortification on her face. She would swallow deeply as she’d try to re-align herself, taking just a few short moments to put herself back into a workable state of mind. It would come in mere seconds, and she would be back into her normal mirthful state as… everything started to become quite funny in retrospect.<br/><em><br/>"Yes, I would imagine your earlier statement was accurate. I am blind and though I only have my crushed toes to estimate size with I would guess the cable might be as large as my skull, it certainly stopped my foot even if the rest of me kept going."</em><br/><br/>“Well you can rest assured that you have won out over the cable in the end… looking at it, I would call you the victor. Not to mention you, in your prowess even defeated me. There was a good minute that I had no idea why everything had stopped working.” She’d say with a soft smile as she’d place her hand gently on his back, guiding him up as she’d lean in a little closer to him. Her hand was warm and he'd feel the slightest static against his back for a few meager seconds before she seemed to consciously stop the current. Lowering her head slightly in deference to him as she did.<br/><br/><em>"I did not expect to find a new addition to the hallway. I suppose next time I'll look where I am going a little more carefully."</em><br/><br/>“Perhaps I am the one who should look before they step a little more intently… had it been anyone other than you or the other Astropath, I would have been rather vexed… or… well Hwan Zhou has a way of vexing<em>everyone</em>so perhaps I wouldn't excuse him.” Seda would laugh softly as she’d put a hand over her face and shake her head in embarrassment. Her hand would slide down his back and eventually off once he was satisfactory steady, though she did seem to be keeping a close eye on him, ready to put it back at even the slightest wobble. Once fully satisfied he was 'alright' she would slowly pull away her Mechadendrite, coiling it over her back once again.<br/><br/><em>"I would guess that you will need to return to what you were doing once they fix the wiring again. I would like to just talk with you sometime soon though. If you think it will take a little while before they will be ready here, or you have time open a little later, would you mind continuing our conversations? That is, if you don't mind me wandering blindly through the corridors threatening every unsuspecting wire in my path?"</em><br/><br/>“As the guilty party, I am<strong>obligated</strong>to see you to where you were going  safely. I am no Magos Biologis but even I know that a sprained ankle takes a little time to start hurting. I would be racked with guilt if you had difficulty making it back to your quarters... though mine are closer and I would not find issue with allowing you to rest yourself there.” She’d say quietly as she’d start to guide him down the hallway.  Seeing as the Electro-priests and the various mechwrites would likely be standing around and waiting for results for more than a few hours even after they had repaired the newly damaged wire she did feel she had some leeway in leaving them to their own devices, after all they did just have somewhat of a lesson in the logistics of leaving wires across the floor and likely would not make that mistake again. Of course she would have to return once the data was in… but she might as well be ‘refreshed’ for that. Or at least, that is what she told herself.<br/><br/>“Please, allow me to make it up to you Nikolai.” She would whisper to him, leaning in as they walked and her lip just nearly brushing against  his ear as she'd grin to herself, biting her lip just slightly.<br/>
