Asher looked up to greet Marina’s friendly face, but still rather upset from being ousted from his peaceful day, his response was rather forced and melancholy.

“Oh… hi. I-uh, I’m Asher, and this is my partner, Heart… Team HART, pleased to meet you.” He then proceeded to shake her hand weakly. He seemed to have recovered after seeing a friendlier face.

Heart just looked at Marina’s outstretched hand, then to her face, before turning away with an emotionless expression as if she had never been greeted. Marina retrieved her hand rather taken back and Heart confronted Asher bluntly with a question.

“Asher, who is that?”

She pointed to Bryan.

“He’s been giving me glances. Slight ones.”

“Does it make you uncomfortable?” Asher asked.

“No. But I don’t like people looking at me funny.” She replied, agitated.

“No, you can’t fight them. You’re not starting a fight.”

“Who said anything about fighting them? I don’t even know if they’re worth fighting.”

“That’s even worse of a mindset! Why can’t you just go say hello to new people you meet for once?”

“I don’t have a reason to.”

“There’s no reason. You can start a conversation for the sake of a conversation. Look, anyway, we’re here to complete an impossibly dangerous task and we’ll be there in around 5 minutes. So can you please give me the luxury of keeping my life until we get there?”
