Nick chuckled at her comment, but quickly grew serious when he realized she wasn’t making a joke. “No arrogance, rudeness, or interrupting—got it,” he said, giving her a thumbs-up. He’d be walking a fine line with a mouth mostly shut if he wanted to stay in her court of approval, if those were her rules. “Anything else I should know about? Most people get got by trust issues, gross manners, and no talking to the opposite gender otherwise they’ll get jealous, even though they insist they won’t.” His lips curled into a smile as he awaited her answer.

“Well, that doesn’t have to happen since I’m not dying—” Alexis said, before adding with a dark smile “—yet.” She swished the ice around her glass before taking a swallow to clear her throat. “But if/when it comes to that, please, gas someone, anyone. It’s not like it’ll kill them. Only stun them long enough for you to discover my killer. Then, then you find someone with a little more damaging natural weapons to make the kill. Of course, you won’t get killing credit, but you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you helped a dear old friend out.” She gave Lyra a wide toothy grin as she finished plotting the capture and death of her potential murderer.
Ellie smiled a little seeing how he sobered at her pet peeves as they were. She then quietly considered the other things he presented her with for a moment. "Well jealousy really doesn't matter as you are not mine to be jealous over. I was raised with certain manners however one would have to be truly obnoxious to offend me with such. And lastly trust issues are not really anyone's business but my own , whether there is too much trust or lack there of. " She finally concluded before looking at him for his reaction. She knew her moral standards were a bit high for most of the sort here but it never bothered her to be alone these days.

Lyra chuckled and pulled out her notepad and pretended to write down this information. "Well good to know that it isn't required of me just yet. As for finding someone to make the kill I imagine it won't be hard in this place. While I personally may not be a killer I am sure there are many here who were trained and have the right mindset for it." She said looking around the room at the others, wondering if the killer was in the same room with them right now.
