The tall Irishman stretched out his long legs from the chair, giving a slight yawn as he did so, but his mouth quickly returned to a smile at the compliment from Lai. With a nod, he chuckled, "You'd stay in there that long only if the lasses in the kitchen didn't chase you out of there with a wooden spoon or rolling pin, lad!" If there was one thing he had learned quickly, it was just that - the girls in the kitchen did not like outsider interference. Of course, though, Shane was always telling them what they were doing wrong or how to improve...something he had a feeling the Russian before him would not do. So perhaps they would let him spend as much time as he wanted in the kitchens...And if he got to spend more time in there, then perhaps he would also get to, as a friend of Lai's...The possibilities, Shane concluded, were endless in showing the man where the kitchen was.

A raven dark eyebrow rose slightly at the quizzical tone with which Lai spoke of Shee and Wraith. Had the man not yet met the two that ran the facility at which he worked? Then again, though, Shane reflected that he had not met the duo very often, either. Wraith every once in a while and Shee even less, of the two, she was the most mysterious to him and therefore the most interesting. With a nonchalant smile, Shane explained, "Wraith is the head of LOTUS and Shee is his sister, also a head here, though I'm not sure what." There was a short pause before he continued, "Wraith has a dark and dangerous appearance about himself and Shee has a mysterious beauty and calming countenance about her that makes you want to spend more and more time with her. Neither are seen very often, though. Wraith more than Shee, certainly, but still not very often at all."

The man tilted his head slightly and his dark hair drifted into his bright blue eyes as he added, "I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have of the two of them, or of this facility, you know."
