Eliana stared at him in shock dumbfounded by his question. "YOU hate meeting like this? What like this is some sort of friendly run-in, hey how are you kind of thing. Stab, Stab, Stab, Poke, Poke, Poke, its tests and a cell, then more tests then evaluations. " Eliana gave an exasperated sigh as she deflated a little after her rant. "You people made me into this and then put me in an environment that is conducive to this kind of behavior what did you honestly expect?" She asked him now sincerely. Out of the two Ryker and Alastor she much preferred Alastor but still she was tired of this by now. She didn't know what she expected him to say, if he said anything at all.

Layla hesitated a moment but then took his arm, she realized now that it was just who he was. He was not trying to say she was weak with all his gentlemanly behavior it was just him. He probably did this with everyone at least to all the women, it would probably be weird if he offered his arm to the men too. But hey maybe that is what floats his boat. She shook her head as her thoughts drifted into a weird place. She gave Leverett a smile as she looked over at him while they walked, she had thought of a great witty comeback to his teasing comment but wasn't sure how it would be received. She decided to try it out anyways. "But the view is so much better when your in front." She replied equally teasing, then she shook her head realizing it sounded a bit like she was coming on to him.

Adrian gave her a smile and a reached out for her hand. As much to comfort her as it was to comfort him. "I was the youngest of 8 in my family, four older brothers and three sisters. We were a very close family, I wanted to at least write to them after I came here. But I don't know maybe its better they think I am dead. As for your parents, it might have been a mistake to them, but its there lose our gain. You are an incredible woman Willow, and I am better for having known you regardless of what they think." He leaned in a gave her a hug, happy he met her today, and confused how he managed to miss her all this time.
