Snippet #2265009

Timothy somewhat smiled back, and took he seat across from them. He did like her genuine welcome from her and he didn't expect one from Viktor. Things settled into place nicely, and he was comfortable in the seat. He didn't shrug, a little too casual. The uniform did seem to have some influence on him. His posture was strong, straight back, orderly. Like he had used to be before everything. Except this time Arden had more people to sit with. Impending doom had a way of mixing things up. He agreed with Callen's conclusion, things were getting mixed up.

"We tied." He responded to her question about Anna's whereabouts "She said she was going to wind down. Don't know where she went." He looked around, partly trying to spot the girl but also taking stock of the set up. Maybe it was a party. Certainly it was some sort of event. He noted a few things, particular the people already here seemed close, if not exclusively couples. He looked back around at Callen and Viktor, although nothing showed in his face, He didn't think it was like that. Except when the robot turned up. That made Timothy curious and somewhat surprised, he didn't show though. He didn't know robots could be so presumptuous. Still, he managed to smile at the pair. It was obvious they weren't and as was said, Timothy didn't have a companion.
"Dates are good ways of taking your mind off things." He said grinning at first but it dropped away quickly. Looking around the room as it began to fill "There is a lot on peoples minds. A party would be nice."

He saw Callen wave at people behind him and turned. The first thing he noticed though was the silence that spread from her entrance. Like oil across water. He frowned at the reaction. He had still manage to treat her like things were normal, even with the scars. He supposed it could never be normal and she couldn't expect people not to be shocked. More he was just worried about she was coping with it. Her father seemed to despise her because of it. Yet he watched what she did. Taking in all the stares, almost showing off. For a moment it seemed tough for her, enough that concerned Timothy. Yet he couldn't help but be impressed. She was tough, capable.
