"Are you done with your super important secretive talks you cannot tell us about? I guess you think it's time to join us lowly beings back here now?" Alan had not taken the previous case well and those words caused Mark to flinch.
Rika did not add anything to those words but she did not defend him either, taking a really neutral stance in this. She seemed content to let matters lie but Mark knew she was curious too. She would likely corner him alone later which he had to avoid now.
"I cannot always tell you everything since it's classified information provided by Liam but at least I took you here with me?" Mark did not know why he was trying to defend himself.
It was not like he had committed some unforgivable crime by talking with the other alone but these accusing eyes made it seem as if he had. Kuro, that traitor, did nothing more than greet him when he entered.
He had thought at least she would take his side in this.
