"Oh, it is superstitious nonsense, I agree, but one can see their point." Nyx smiled, glad that Seth seemed willing to at least humor her. It wasn't much, and was anything but a friendly remark, especially for Allen, but it was a step.
Now that they seemed to have a topic, Nyx decided to try the next step of small talk. Questions. "Did something happen that caused the two of you to be at each other's throats? Or was it just that Allen is Allen?"

Questions? That was an odd one. Why were they even talking about Allen in the first place? It irritated Seth a bit to even think about him, and he let out a slightly impatient sigh.
Still, the question gave Seth pause as he thought it over. An eventually snort breaking the silence. "I believe it started after I was promoted. I suppose he couldn't stand that someone younger and less experienced had moved past him in rank." Plus their personalities tended to just... clash horribly.

"That sounds like him..." Nyx sighed and sat back in her chair. "Turn, Moloch." She was done brushing his fluffy chest, and wanted to work on that luxurious tail. She hadn't wanted to talk about Miss Nadja. It was awkward for her, like talking to the new guy dating your mother. But, the conversation seemed inevitable. They couldn't talk about Allen forever.
Nyx cleared her throat and looked at the clock, "Miss Nadja should be waking up fairly soon... If I know anything about anesthetics." She should have, anyway. Especially having to tranquilize so many lab experiments.
There had been something on her mind, eating away at her, ever since she'd seen the two Elites in the gym. Why. Miss Nadja she could understand, at least that she had the capacity for attraction. But Seth? All he ever appeared to be was an ill tempered recluse. "...You and Miss Nadja, huh?" There didn't seem to be a better way to bring it up.

With a "Hroh," the giant dog obediently rotated until he was facing the other direction. It had been a while - days - since he'd had a good brushing, and he was enjoying this. His tail, sometimes a thing unto itself, waved happily.
Slim fingers curled clumsily around Seth's hand.

As Moloch turned over for Nyx, silent daggers were thrown in the Arcanine's direction in the form of a glare. Damn dog. How dare he listen to her and not him.
Then there was a deep thoughtful hum as Nyx mentioned Nadja waking up soon. Perhaps he'd be able to see her wake up at this rate. However, the next question caused his eyes to narrow slightly as he resisted a smug smirk. The question was both irritating, and yet amusing at the same time. At least this was something he could rub in her face if need be.
"Yes, what of it?" He asked in return. It wasn't like he was going to tell the agent the intimate details of his relationship with Nadja after all.
Then as if on cue, he felt Nadja's fingers move and lightly grip his. Instantly Seth's attention went to her. "Nadja?" he asked, studying her face to see if there was any indication of approaching consciousness.

Nyx sputtered as Moloch's massive tail wagged to and fro, smacking into her face a few times. She tried her best to grapple it down with one arm and brush it, but it was a tough job.
She looked past the giant canine and at Seth when he asked her a return question. "Just... Curious." She paused for a moment, thinking "Why?" It was a simple question, asked without animosity (some how), but encompassed all of her curiosity about the subject. Why he had feelings for the woman was obvious, but she wanted to know his reasons. It baffled her, much in the same way her apparent fondness for Mau baffled her. It didn't make sense.

Especially since Seth's sudden attention shift made Moloch's ears shoot upright. The giant dog whuffed and stuck his head over the bedside, nosing the occupant's other hand while his tail whipped back and forth with growing intensity.
One sigh might have been deeper than the rest, and perhaps her brows twitched, but such an iota of movement might well have been wishful thinking.

Why. That was actually a question he'd asked himself a few times. Not for the same reasons as Nyx of course, but just the same. The physical attraction had been there since they had first met. But naturally there would have to be something more than that to allow things to progress to this point.
Seth sighed as Nadja stirred slightly but didn't seem to come around. Sticking the cookie in his mouth, the elite used his free hand to pull over a chair and sat down. He finally then took a bite of said cookie. Hm, not bad. There he continued to hold Nadja's hand.
Despite knowing better, Seth decided to mess with the agent's mind a bit. A slight smirk tugging at his lips.
"Why not?" He was entitled to have personal relationships too.

Seth's answer didn't seem to please Nyx, and her face scrunched up as if she'd smelled something foul. That didn't answer any of her questions at all. Even though Seth was entitled to have personal relationships, he didn't seem the type. "It's just... odd..." If it had been anyone else, she wouldn't have been so perplexed.

And her answer was equally less pleasing, if not moreso. There was a flash of anger in Seth's eyes as he turned to look at Nyx.
"And what exactly, is so odd about it?" He asked in a stiff voice, although carefully keeping the decibel level in check. "If you have something to say agent, then say it. Stop dancing around it like a timid little Rattata."

"Fine." Nyx sat back in her chair and crossed her arms, "You're a rather disagreeable person. It boggles the mind that you'd be interested in a relationship with anyone, even someone as admirable as Miss Nadja." She wouldn't mention how it perplexed her even more that Miss Nadja was interested in him. It was like watching a poochyena who bit anything and anyone that came near suddenly pair up with a ninetails. Nothing was helped by Nyx's poor excuse for romantic experience.

Seth narrowed his eyes in a subdued rage at the fluffy haired scientist.
However, he still managed to keep himself in check, mostly for the sake of the still sleeping woman next to him.
"I'm disagreeable to sniveling little twits like you who can't see past their own nose, and bask in the shadow of people greater than them. You're little more than a dog groveling at her feet. What makes you think you have sole rights to her attentions?"

"You're disagreeable to everyone, though. I may have an unusual amount of idolization for Miss Nadja, yes, but that fact aside, I'm still perplexed. We're all on the same team, but you act like everyone took a poo in your cereal." Nyx chewed on the inside of her cheek, trying to keep her tone that of someone stating observations, and not of one having a heated discussion about the other's temperament.

Moloch laid his ears back and rumbled unhappily at the rising tension in the room in warning. Any minute now one of them would tackle the other and try to bite them on the back of the neck, or at least bark them into submission.
The brewing argument seemed to reach the subject of it as well, because she frowned and uttered a quiet 'mmnh.'

Seth now snorted in disgust. "I don't have to get along with anyone to do my job, and do it well. The sooner you realize that Team Rocket isn't sunshine and rainbows, the better off you and the rest of us will be."
However, the man's attention quickly went away from Nyx and focused on Nadja as her murmuring reached his ears.
