With a sigh, Mau reached out and put his hand on one of hers to try and still it. He didn't need her tearing his sheets to shreds right now. "What if she finds out? You weren't intentionally spying on her, were you?" one usually didn't act so guilty unless they had been spying on the other person intentionally or... "Or do you like one of them?" It's possible Nyx had a crush on the guy this 'friend' was kissing. It was also possible she had a crush on this lady fri- train of thought ends now.
"Why does it bother you so much?"

"Pft! No! Not like that." Mating rituals were for people with too much time on their hands and not enough sense. "... Well. I heard something going on in the gyms above the rec room and got curious." As she often times did, "And when I got up there, the noise stopped and they were talking. Then that stopped, and I got more curious." She let go of the sheets and noticed a hand on her's. Nyx noted that Mau's hands were warm and much larger than her own.
"It bothers me because... well..." She paused. There was every reason and no reason that it bothered her. Or reasons that she wouldn't admit to; Nadja was HER Elite, or so she thought. Any positive attention given to persons other than herself was met with hostility and jealousy from the fluffy haired scientist. Aila seemed to be the first person to experience this ego-driven possessiveness. "They're no good for her. She could do much better... Much much better!" Nyx took her hand out from under Mau's and crossed her arms.
She didn't answer his question about if 'she' found out.

"Well, you shouldn't be faulted for your curiosity. You ARE a scientist after all. Seeking answers to quell curiosity is sort of a job requirement." He folded his hand around his chin and thought for a moment. He had heard a quote some time ago... how did it go? "LOVE, by definition, is a temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, likely caries many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient."
Maybe that wasn't helping. But it was a pretty good description of love, and it might well be how she thinks of it. "Not that I'm insinuating your friend is in love or anything. Sometimes a kiss is just a kiss. There doesn't need to be anything behind it other then the physical need to do so." He shook his head slightly.
"What's so scary about telling your friend what you saw?"

"I agree. However, I am not sure Mih-she would agree." Nyx almost let it slip... Well, half of it anyway. "I suppose insanity is a proper description of what is ailing her..." Nyx sighed. It was hard, skirting around details. Mau would understand if she were able to just tell him exactly what she saw.
Nyx groaned and laid back suddenly on Mau's bed, her hands covering her face and then sliding up into her hair. "I can't TELL you! You'll know who they are, then! I may not give you much credit, but I'm sure you could put two and two together!" She groaned again. "What do I do?!" She kicked her legs a little and covered her eyes with the inside of her elbow.

"Would it he-" He stopped and had to catch her leg before she kicked him. "would it help if I promised not to breath a word of it?" Surely an agent within a secret organization could be trusted to keep a secret... right? Even if they were an organization that thrived on deceit and theft and generally furthering one's own position.
However, Mau was starting to think it wasn't Jen. He couldn't think of anyone off hand who's name started out with 'Mi.' It was possible he'd misheard, and it was 'Ni,' and she was flailing about Nikki. But Nikki and anyone seemed less likely then say... Seth and TRP. No, he was sure it was 'mi' he had heard. But who's name started that way? Unless you counted - oh brother.
"Nyx..."

"I didn't do anything!" Nyx yanked Mau's sheets all the way un-made and pulled them over her head, either to hide or attempt to suffocate herself. She groaned again, then started to speak; She kept the sheet over her head, since there was a lack of pillow within arm's length. "You have to keep quiet about ALL of this!" She yanked the sheet from her head suddenly. "Pinky swear!"
Apparently, Nyx was still ten, and swearing via pinky was as good as a promise under threat of death. She looked quite serious as she jabbed her tiny pinky at Mau.
No matter what happened, he'd seemed to have figured out the first answer to X+Y=4. It was Nadja, and Nyx was losing her mind.

Pinky swear? Mau had no idea what that was until she jabbed her little finger at him. He looked at it a moment then nodded. "Ah, alright then." He extended his own pinky and bumped it against hers. Really he was ready to do about anything to get her to stop flailing and tearing his bed apart. "I pinky... swear. Nothing you tell me will leave this room, ever."

Her slender pinky wrapped around his in a tiny vice grip and she glared intensely into his eyes for what may have been an uncomfortably long amount of time, then released his finger and broke her death glare. Some sort of magick had been worked, the same sort which, when faced with cooties, would protect you with a simple double circle motion and two pokes.
"Alright... So... I may have walked in on..." She growled a little, it was so hard to say it. Her voice dropped down to a whisper, "Miss Nadja and..." Her voice dropped to an even lower whisper, "Seth." Nyx flopped down on the bed again. There. It was out. A great weight was lifted from her shoulders; And replaced with a mild sense of dread.
At least that explained what Nyx was so worried about.

The intense stare put Mau off a little, as he wasn't sure what to make of it at all. However what Nyx said next had him almost reeling with laughter. What kind of strange... sick joke was that? Seth? Seriously?
But seeing how just admitting what she'd seen relaxed Nyx so much, he stopped the smile from becoming a roar of laughter and his expression schooled into a serious gaze. "And you saw them make out." What was her definition of making out? "Is it possible that you misinterpreted what transpired? You said it was in one of the gyms. For all you know, they had been competing, and the looser had to kiss the winner. After all, Seth loves an a** kisser, right? It's why everyone is so pussyfooted around him." He leaned back against the foot of his bed. "Want my advice?"

"Really?" She sounded skeptical, "Miss Nadja, or Seth, bet the other that if they won, they got a kiss." Nyx crossed her arms and looked rather offended. "Also, though I am not by any means schooled in romance, I do believe wrapping arms by both participants constitutes more than a simple bet." This tiny rant was ended with a huff and she turned her head to look at Mau; She was still laying on his bed.
"Mm..." Was her reply to Mau's offered advice, along with a slight nod of her head.

Well now, that was a bit of information he had been missing before. He sighed, closing his eyes a moment. "Talk to Nadja about it." He said softly. "She's the only one who can clarify what you saw." It was probably the last thing Nyx wanted to hear, but it boiled down to 'forget about it and don't let it bother you, or confront the issue.'

Nyx grumbled as she threw the sheet down and rolled over onto her stomach, forming half of a cocoon over herself. "I don't need clarification on what I saw. I know what I saw..."
There was a whining noise from the cocoon half and some kicking from the bottom and then Nyx was still.

"Then perhaps you'll gain insight and understanding." He offered. "It's like a quest for knowledge, right?" He leaned forward an put a hand on what he hoped was her shoulder or elbow or something. "You can't mope about this forever." He started thinking maybe he could distract her. Though how? Maybe with work...

There was an audible sigh from the cocoon. "I could try... but I guess Miss Nadja will figure out that something is up." Nyx rolled over, further wrapping herself in the sheet, and sat up. "Well... I guess telling her would make... me knowing... less awkward." She paused for a minute. "I mean... whats the worst she can do? Kill me? Yes." Cocoon-Nyx turned what must have been her head towards Mau; or at least, it seemed like she turned her head, as the sheets bunched up a little and there was some movement. "You dont' know all this."

"I doubt she'd kill you." She'd make Seth do that. he thought with a worrying amount of belief in that. "I'm sure that you'll feel better too, being able to get that off your chest." He wanted to start pulling the sheet off her face so he could look her in the eyes, but... well whatever.
"Mmm, this conversation never happened."
