Talon was a allowed a brief respite when Xyhper paused to consider the time span. The albino, however, was now feeling slightly threatened. Would this time period give Xypher any clue? Talon could see the consideration in the other man's face. For a moment it seemed that he would be spared as Xy leaned back and turned his attention to the new woman. It was not to be so, for Xyhper returned his attention to Talon's blank stare, crossing his arms and continuing the interrogation; An invitation to reveal himself. Talon considered what was being asked as the question was so general. What did the teleporter want to know? Talon's life story? Specifics? As the assecorizer fished for possible topics he glanced over at Ari again. This time she was looking back and Talon picked up a sense that she was waiting to intervene. He let the hope go however, unable to tell for sure. Yet the moment they locked eyes odd on odd, brought Talon back to his earlier agreement; To open up more to the woman. He felt no compulsion to apply this to others. As he looked back to Xyhper he decided on his answer.

"No" was what he simply said, rejecting any further attempts to carry the discussion forward. He kept his gaze fixed on Xypher, unfeeling and intense. Until Ari took everyone's attention as she stood. As she began to talk, Talon realised that his earlier interpretation was a success. He accepted her offer silently, standing up to follow her out, ignoring the others around. Even with his dulled emotions he felt uncomfortable enough. Only when he was beyond the closed door did he relax. Turning to Ari and speaking, feeling infinitely more safe around her. "Thank you," he began "That was uncomfortable." While his pitch was steady, relief and sincerity could be detected in his slow speech. He keep himself going, fulfilling his goal "Is this usual?" He asked of the questioning he just underwent.
