Mal Fallon
He crossed the room, following his partner. As she sat next to her as if to examine her, as of something she did or wrote would show what was the matter. "I was married once" said Mal "and I like to think I can speak woman." Natara feigned deafness. "Like I know 'I'm Fine' really means 'ask me what's wrong'. I know 'it's nothing' means 'you better figure out what's ticking me off…'".
Natara couldn't suppress a smile in spite if herself. "And there, I know your smiling because I said something stupid that's somewhat true."
Natara's smile grew, and she was grateful that she could actually start to pretend that nothing had happened. "Sometimes I don't know how your divorced." she joked.
"So your saying I am right?" he asked, suddenly serious.
Somewhat annoyed, Natara said "Really, it's nothing."
"Translation: 'Really, it's something'" he said.
Annoyed, Natara scowled at how he knew and went to file her recently filled out paper, leaving Mal behind.
Natara Williams
She placed her paperwork in the correct file, heading down to the crime lab for simply something to do. She didn't know yet if she would tell Amy, but found she didn't have to when Amy had pounced at her entrance. "Oh my God, I can't believe your leaving!" she said. Clearly she had seen an e-mail or similar. Natara heard Mal coming behind her and shook her head to silence Amy. Amy did so, covering her mouth as if using it to hold back another outburst. Mal walked in after Natara, looking at the two women that clearly shared a terrible secret. Amy, acting totally unnatural, attempted to walk extra-normally to her computer, almost tripping over her own feet as she did. Mal didn't look at her though, his eyes bore deep into Natara's, and for a moment they made eye contact. Then Natara broke it, and although she had just walked into the crime lab, she walked right back out again.
