Now hold on just a second... no, she was definitely right. That was not just how two buddies talked to each other. Allenby swallowed. Zouichi... did he have a girlfriend? The voice sounded familiar, too. Il... that woman with all the haughty opinions on the network and the really long name. She'd been around the Inn sometimes.

Allenby quickly clamped a hand over her mouth. Zouichi and Ildy! Oh god! If she could have imagined a girlfriend or boyfriend for either of them, it definitely wouldn't have been each other. It just went to show there was no telling what could happen, right?

She slowly dropped her hand, although the disbelieving grin still remained--faltering a bit when she remembered that the two of them were talking about that mission. Still... Allenby tried to peek around the door as unobtrusively as possible, hoping to catch a glimpse of what they were doing.
