"Are we going to do it, then?" Nadia asked.
She had her arms crossed over her chest and a look of dissatisfaction mixed with exasperation on her face.
"Dear, I don't think it's the right time..." Mathew attempted to use the joke to diffuse the sudden tension that filled the atmosphere.

"From what you guys said, I believe we need to save some people, don't we?" Nadia asked, raising one of her eyebrows as her foot tapped against the floor. "Then why have your mood worsened?"
Nadia stood tall, her arms crossed over her chest.
