Nadia did not seem to have any thoughts of Perry's so-say praising. she simply lowered her hand and attended to her notes, a serious, matchine-like expression on her face. She seemed to be writing something at the mention of a thank you note. But no. Now, she had filled Borr's form for the Compliment Box, and that was one thing. There was no way she was writing a thnking note to Miss Leiden. If something, she was sure Miss Leiden shouldn't be treated like a fool. Too powerful an enemy if you will.

Nadia's expression remained serious and unresponsibe while she thought all this. Only she spoke up again at the comment about the sudden silence, to say, "I think we have problems deciding. The food rule, the eight hour rule, the no loitering rule... all seem appealing," she concluded.

Her eyes did moved to a person, however, for the first time showing a rather desguised interest. The mask of seriousness, of feeling of it, never wavering.
