[Sorry, viewers, there's nothing much to look at here. The Newcomer apartments lack personality and Elena's suit and tie don't do much to add to it. She's sitting in the provided chair, left leg crossed over her right knee, chin resting atop her lighly curled right hand. She seems to be in thought for several heartbeats before talking.]

If you're another sister of Kadaj's, I warn you that there's not that much room in these beds now that Genesis took one for himself. It's a tight fit as it is.

..... [Trying oh-so-hard to not sound as mad as she is offended.] I can promise you that I am not any form of relation to...him... So you can consider your beds safe.

[Holy hell. Genesis is here too? GDI.]

...hm? Yet he recognised you. Does that make you an enemy, I wonder...?

I've been told I've got a familiar face. Besides, what would that matter?

It matters if you're going to attempt to hurt him. I'm going to have to stop you.

So, what, are you his personal bodyguard?

His friend, as a matter of fact. And I'm not about to stand by and let some perfect stranger hurt him. He's been through enough.

[There's a noise of somebody almost choking on their drink. Except there is no drink. She's just choking on air.He's been through enough?!]

Tch, I have no desire to cross paths with him any time in the near future. So you can rest at ease, SOLDIER. I'm of no threat to you.

[Liquid's voice darkened at that noise.]

If you've the slightest brains in you, miss, you won't cause trouble for him or Yazoo.

...hm? You could tell I'm a soldier, miss? Just from my voice?

[There's a bit of a longer pause here. GDI, WTF, IFRIT'S FLAMING BALLS! BOTH OF THEM ARE HERE?!]

Trust me, I have no intentions to have any interaction with either of them. And, if you were smart, you'd let them know to steer clear as well.

Ah....[And here she thought uttering a turn-of-phrase wouldn't get her any information.] Not just your voice, no.

As if they would take my advice on that. After all, they know you better than I. They'd know your capabilities and threat level far more as well. So it's better to trust in their judgement on the subject of you, madam.

[A beat and he sighs.] Alright. I'll bite. How could you tell?

Then you've put me in an uncomfortable position. If they chose to come after me, I would become your enemy against my will or choice. Perhaps you may want to use your best judgment in the matter, sir.

[Time to put her improve skills to use!] The company you keep was the first indicator and your level of aggression when you jumped to the conclusion that I would be an enemy was the second.

If they come after you, that will not make you my enemy, madam. No, what will make you my enemy will be if you come after them. If they go after you, that means they've got a fairly good idea you're defeatable. Retaliation, however, especially prematurely, will result in my response. As well as any harm done towards the Cathedral of Jenova.

...I keep their company because they're like family to me. Kadaj is someone I care for greatly. That is all.

So then you expect for me to sit idly by, let them come after me, and not retaliate or even defend myself because, by doing so, I've made an enemy of you. Furthermore, it isn't a question of whether or not I'm defeatable - every person is defeatable if you know their weakness - but its whether or not they deserve to be gone after. Will you take their judgment over who deserves to be hurt or killed over another's just because they are your friend?

You can choose whose company you keep, I could care less one way or another. But I would hope that you know the difference between good and evil, right and wrong, on your own.

That is not what I claimed. I claimed that if you retaliate prematurely, you will become an enemy. You have the right to defend yourself. You cannot kill them anyway. [A slight pause.] I do not care, miss, whether they deserve to be pursued or not. They are my friends and I will defend them to the end if I must, as they would do for me.

Good and evil are subjective. Right and wrong also so. Many people commit monstrous deeds in the name of good, just as many as do it in the name of evil. It is not my place to judge their actions.

That brings me some sense of relief. I'm not exactly one to sit by and let myself be attacked without doing my best to stay alive. I told you once already, I have no need to cross paths with either of them, so why would I want to retaliate?

[There is a short pause. A quick exhalation of breath, a low, inaudible muttering.]

I can't fault you for your stance to protect your friends - even if I myself question the type of friends you keep. But, as I said, they are yours to have.

[You can't see her, but her mouth is quirked into a slight grin.] A world of shades of gray.... Now I know for sure you are a solider.
