[Ashura sat in the same room as Felix, not pacing, but his uncomfortable attitude portrayed through the tense set of his shoulder and the hands in his lap laced perhaps to tightly for comfort.]
Would you prefer I let her do this to someone else on the council?
[Quickly realizes he's being snappy and continues in a softer tone]
I don't know. But Galadriel offered, and if I am to use her talents, I have to be aware of what effect they will have. I hadn't even assumed this would be necessary until she brought it up, but after speaking to Cole, I think it may be likely that the more exposure Chimera gets, the more likely it will be that people will try to join with the goal of getting at our records. Paige seems to think he's dangerous, but I cannot be sure, so if I do decide to allow him in as a researcher, this is exactly the sort of assurance we will need.
[He is completely aware he's rambling, but it's easier to talk than to let the doubt gnaw at him]
[He is used to Felix rambling, it is nothing new. But it does mean he has to like what this will do.]
And you are certain Galadriel might not have the same goals? I have spoken to the woman only once, but that is not enough to make me think she is safe, much less trust worthy Felix - especially picking about in your mind.
[His mouth is set in a hard line, as much a show of his displeasure as his voiced concerns.]

[Ashura inclines his head slightly to her at first before rising, standing beside his lover with his back set and his mouth firm, not soft and welcoming as he had been in the gardens.]

[And true to her word, she'll be there in no time at all. When she arrives she will give a brief nod to each of the men in turn.]
Ashura. And Felix, I presume? It is a pleasure to meet you in person.

[He gives her a short bow in greeting and a smile that neatly hides any nervousness he's feeling. Kindly ignore the tension in the room.]
It's lovely to meet you as well.

Galadriel.

I imagine there is much you would ask of me before we begin. I will answer as best I may.
