[weordmyndum]

Little sister! Where've you been?

[Here, just let him help you with that, won't you, Meth?]

We should go.

[metharchy]

[Meth backs away from Tanvir. She wouldn't care about someone helping her except for the fact that he called her little sister. Meth stares him down.]

I'm not going anywhere with you. I'm not your sister.

[Tanvir, did you hit your head?]

[weordmyndum]

[No, he did not hit his head. But now he's wondering if you have!]

You're not--

Oh. Oh, okay. Hey, don't worry, okay? We'll get it taken care of.

[He sounds very sure about this. Almost dismissive!]

But we've gotta head out of here first, y'know? So, c'mon.

[metharchy]

[Incredulous stare, go.]

I have no idea what you're talking about but you should probably head up to the clinic, passenger. I'm not the one who needs taking care of.

[Meth is very sure about this.]

And I'm definitely not going anywhere. This is my job. My home.

[She crosses her arms over her chest, not backing up but clearly going no where near him.]

[weordmyndum]

[He'll see your incredulous stare and raise you a are-you-kidding-me Look.]

Sister, if you're this bad, we need to move quick. Your job isn't here and you know it. There are people depending on you to do your real job, and this isn't it.

[He's not going to move closer--yet--but he's clearly worried.]

[metharchy]

[Oh, she's stubbornly ignoring that look. Meth sends him a "Don't even think about going up against me" glare.]

If you think I'm going anywhere, you take it up with Captain Redd. I am Head of Renovations here, and he's the only one I'm taking orders from.

[Well, and Kage and Meifeng of course, but digressing doesn't exactly give people a confident appearance.]

You must have me confused with someone else.

[weordmyndum]

[Uh-huh.]

Is your name Meth, or is it not?

[metharchy]

[Flat stare.]

It is. My brother however is Nezer Rezza. You are definitely not him.

[weordmyndum]

You've been reading too much. I keep telling you those books are no good. But no, nobody ever listens to me!

[The way he says that is remarkably affectionate. Almost teasing!]

Look. We'll get you back. Bryn'll set you to rights, and everything'll be fine.

[metharchy]

[This is beyond ridiculous. Expression clearly closed, Meth ignores his comments about books, his familiarity, and his mention of the passenger Bryn.]

I'm not going anywhere. Leave me alone, now.

[To punctuate her point, Meth uses her power to push Tanvir back half a step.]

Go. Away.
