The comment about human's capacity for violence elicited a smile from Mr. Blare.  He was sure to wipe it from his face as quickly as it appeared.  The being had a point, but this was not the time for a philosophical debate.  He continued to listen patiently to her inquiries.  Had he been a younger man, he doubted he could have maintained his composure under the dazzling blue eyes.  Again, this was not the time for such hedonistic thoughts.<br/><br/>“You will be traveling alone.  The company believes you will be less likely to attracted unwanted attention on this particular mission on your own.  Also, since the company does not anticipate hostile encounters, they do not see a great need for additional operatives.”<br/><br/>Mr. Blare regarded Demi for a moment looking for a particularly strong reaction to his words.  “That will not be a problem for you, will it?”<br/><br/>“The company does not see a need to alter your current appearance.  However, if you would feel more comfortable presenting a different 'face' as it were, there is nothing in the mission statement to discourage it.”<br/><br/>Mr. Blare smiled warmly.  His attempt to put Demi at ease, but it came off more condescending from his more mature face than he desired.  “I am sure you will do fine.  This is just a scouting mission.”
