"No sir." His voice was clear and firm. He refused to let his fear show through, his hands clasped firmly together and his black eyes unwavering. "I did not intend for that to be a threat. I was merely saying that weaker souls might not be able to handle the level of...stress this environment might cause." He chose his words carefully, trying not to make his angry,"If they couldn't handle it here, then we don't need them."
"Of course sir. No more locking up guards." He hungrily snatched up his watch and reclasped it around his wrist,"Thank you sir. I won't disappoint you."
Alexis chuckled. "Or maybe you're just really good at debate," she said. After a moment, she said, "Hey, about that payback you mentioned earlier. Is it really necessary? I was just testing you in your talky talky with that worm. I wanted to see how well you could perform," she grinned broadly, hoping to win Andorra over and change her mind.
"Good," Alexis said happily.
Alexis shrugged, unsure of what she wanted to do now. "Well I should probably find my roommate. You can tag along if you want. I think you two would get along," she said.
