Zeth*

She was about to keep ranting when...a hug? That was completely and utterly unexpected. She didn't know how she felt about it. Zeth was virtually paralyzed for a good moment, her posture stiff and nervous. She was trying to think of something snobby to say, but she was a bit blank for the time being.

"Okay, okay, off." she said in a soft tone one she regained her composer. Zethrin had rolled her eyes, but couldn't hold off her small smirk. "I'm not worried about my shoulder, I just don't want you dying, not until I get a chance to claim your bounty." she teased, trying to brush him off, literally.

Scias
"Yeah, true. Guess it'd be a real shame if anyone else tried to cash in on my bounty before you."
He let go of her with a laugh.

"Just.. My question is why you still haven't bothered yet. Literally let me drag you out of the army this far."

Zethy*

She held up her wrists, still surrounded by metallic cuffs that Saras had put on her a while ago. "You know, don't really feel like dying."

That was the best she could do to void the question. "Anyway, how's the armor?"

Scias
"Haven't tried it out yet, still have to swap it out."
He motioned for her wrists.
"Would you still try if I took them off?"

Zeth*

Honesty was the best policy. "Try escaping? Knowing me, probably," she said with a chuckle. "Bathroom on the left, if you need privacy or something. Not sure how that works for your kind." She said as she wandered to the back of the room in search of food. She really was hungry, and could feel herself needing to 'recharge' as the minutes passed.

"Guess we'll find out." He followed her and zapped the cuffs, pulling them off with ease and setting them aside.

"And thanks, but I had a jumpsuit on under this one. Good to uh.. know though. Probably'll need it if you're just gonna run away now."

Zeth*

The cuffs fell off, and she smiled mischievously. "Aw, is pretty boy gonna need a place to cry?" Zeth teased a bit too harshly. The shelves were pretty well stocked, but it wasn't there...

Before long, she found it, a bar of chocolate. Her face lit up like Christmas. She walked over to one of the open sofa's and munched away. Chocolate, her only weakness, her guilty pleasure, her one true love

Scias
"Dunno, do you?
Just wanted somewhere to work where it was quiet. Really don't like being around this many people."
He shrugged.

Zeth*

She was pretty zoned in on the chocolate. The small bar was pretty much gone by now. "Understandable," she managed to say between bites. This many people was a bit bothersome, especially since she was used to living alone. So long as nobody got any ideas about any funny business while they were all here, no issues should arise.

Scias
He had honestly never seen someone scarf down a chocolate bar so fast in his life. It was both impressive and slightly off-putting that he had to fight back a bit of a smirk.

He excused himself and went to go work on swapping armor pieces from himself in the bathroom for a few hours.

When he had finally returned, it was visible outwardly, a thick black plate with sleek silver trim over its edges, with some pieces of the old, grey armor intact over his skin. He seemed to be looking it over enthusiastically much like a child would look over a new toy.

"So?"
He folded his arms, clearly directing his question at Zeth.
"Kinda surprised you're still here too."
