And for the moment, at least, the colonel hasn't reappeared... so the elf has the advantage, for the moment.<br/><br/>However, in the process of telling her story, Rishi sees the face of an MP's wrist-watch, and is reminded that her hour is almost up; and when the time runs out, her team will be making a judgment call to either come and get her... or leave her to her own devices.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Th-those are really drastic claims, ma'am..." The Mp's voice brings the elf back out of her reverie, but it seems to have lost some of its bite. At least he hasn't clapped the restraints back around her wrists yet. And the man's face is almost red as he looks the teal-haired woman up and down, almost as if looking for proof on her person. "I... you can support them, I hope? Well, I don't hope, but..."<br/><br/>The man's face colors, but he gives Rishi a "you know what I meant" look and a half shrug. The thought that his C.O. had done something so... wrong... seems to be weighing heavily on the man.
