"Ice Bear does his best." But even the ursine is wondering if this kind gesture is overstepping his role. As if on cute, his ears wiggle just a bit, sensing and seeing Caspar's reaction. As if on cue, he nods, then gestures to the second floor stairwell. Lately, it's been necessary to keep security cameras on the floor, mainly to deter anyone from trying anything funny. Blame Katsuya's police nature on this one or Ice Bear's desire to spy on everyone. Regardless, while Adia goes off to talk, the polar bear is more than happy to guide Caspar upstairs so he can watch and listen in on the conversation.

Consider it a way to repay him for accidentally creation this awkward moment. It'll also keep Panda and Grizz off his back for a while.

As for Marie, a first glance should reveal her behavior is less than well, in comparison to the former times Adia has seen her. In fact, her posture and nursing a glass of wine with something sweet should look familiar, similar to the time Adia was in the Nexus having her own drunk moment. However, there's no cute animal videos to help break the ice, nor any visible tears. Instead, the red-haired woman seems a bit shocked that Adia actually came over to talk with her.

"Ms. Costas...I didn't mean to pry you away from your significant other. I just wanted to do something nice after the incident with Hunter. I'm sorry if the gesture came off the wrong way."
