"Whew..." Lucy sighed as she sank down into her chair. "I don't think I ever would have thought that Minerva of all people would come inside here..." She glanced at Cobra and jumped as if she had forgotten he was still there. It would have made him laugh if not for the fact that he could tell she was genuinely spooked.

"Er…you probably heard a bunch of stuff about her already. I've only met her myself once or twice, but I can explain more later," she mumbled. He nodded in response. Lucy's face twisted to a wry grin for a moment. "Or maybe you'll just listen in on me, either way."

A sharp pang echoed in Cobra's throat, but he couldn't find the words or actions to respond with. Lucy loudly clapped her hands together. "Right! Back on track. Is there anyone else coming in or snooping around?"

"...One that might be coming. It'd probably be alright to stop after that." The two waited to see if that someone really did come, the air between them becoming consumed with silence.
