Thanks to Sexby, Cissie was more aware of her surroundings than she once might have been, so she saw Iago approaching before he spoke. She wasn't really his biggest fan either, but she didn't feel like going out of her way to avoid him, or to go back inside. She looked at him and shrugged.

"Not really. I used to be out later than this all the time. It took me a long time to adjust to a normal schedule. I'm pretty sure this place has ruined all of that."

He wasn't expecting her to actually answer fully and honestly like that, but he didn't suspect anything strange about it. After all, this was Cissie. She was one of the innocent ones on the ship, so maybe she was just feeling particularly chatty today.

"Your normal schedule?" He shrugged. "Not that it really matters, I suppose. I meant more that you should be inside before doctors see you. Weren't you just hurt?"

"Not mine," she said, waving a hand dismissively. It didn't occur to her that there was anything odd about answering him so honestly. "I just mean normal like everyone else. Though--you probably have a point. I don't really want any of them upset with me. It would make working tense and awkward, and I hate that. ...Not that I know when they're letting me come back to work. I should ask that."

She shrugged. "Anyway, yeah. Sexby killed me. I'm a little surprised you noticed."

He shook his head, casually mirroring her dismissive hand wave. "I hate Sexby in every form. I notice when he does things wrong. Though I suppose we can all get a little...strange...when people we care about leave." But Iago was starting to notice, too, that she seemed to be a little too open. So he tested his theory just a little.

"I saw that Sylar left and he said something about you...what did you think of that?"
