Welcome to Gaia! ::

Captains could apply for offices, and with certain aspects of her Infiltration work needing to be more hidden than what her civilian work computer could provide, Jadarite was considering applying for one.

That was why she was lingering in this hallway after dropping of her quota for a few minutes longer than was strictly necessary. She was looking things over, trying to see if there were any differences in the office spaces so that she could find which one would suit her needs the best.

One with enough space, for example.

Her considerations were interrupted when she nearly collided with a cat.

She blinked and adjusted her glasses before realizing that this cat was familiar.

"Tama," she said. "Hello. How have you been?" There was a pause before she added, not quite able to resist after how everyone had been acting at the party, "Managed to romance any of our co-workers yet?"

This time, Jadarite hadn't even been trying to hit a nerve, but apparently it had happened anyway. Although, unlike the cat in front of her, she did not visibly wince at her mistake, or pout.

"You'll get there," she told him instead. "Alkmene liked you. Albite likes everyone. Just, be nice to them."

Her facial expression still did not change, but there was a hint of a threat there under the words. "Alkmene is my subordinate. Albite is holding the team together. I don't need either of them all broken hearted."

Although, that was enough of that if he was trying to be serious.

"These are the offices, yes," she said. "Faustite's is down that way. I'm thinking of requesting this one to be mine." She nodded towards the door in front of them.

"Good," said Jadarite, but then she dropped the subject. She might be protective, but she was hardly going to nag.

"I can't say I know much about Mauvian projects," she said, coming back to the more practical topic with a small shrug. "The cat on my last team did not like me." There was no malice in her voice, but there wasn't doubt either. It was just a fact.

"But, that would make sense. It's always good to have someone around who knows technology, and you might be able to find a space here for your own projects."
