Marina, after a moment of awkward silence, just goes forward, passing by Foxtrot. She's just going to get water, and then she'll be fi-

She sees the wild mop of dirty-blonde hair, the grin that's a bit too wide, and the unnatural pose, and immediately recognizes who's in the room. Slick. One of the experiments she was hoping not to see. While Slick hasn't really threatened her at all, he's...well, he's unnerving, especially when he moves...it's like he wants people to notice how his movement range goes into places the human body should not be able to achieve.

Marina just takes a deep breath. Okay. She can handle this. She continues walking into the room, heading for the water cooler and mentally bracing herself for when Slick inevitably notices her.

He does.

"Well, hello, Marina," Slick casually bends his arm backwards to get a stray hair out of his sight. "A fine day today, is it not?"

"I - I guess it is..." Marina nervously chuckles, unscrewing her water bottle. "I'm just...going to get some water, a-and then I'll be out of your hair..."

Slick just nods for several moments longer than necessary, and then, as Marina is about to start pouring water into her water bottle, he speaks up. "I'd go to the water fountain in the next room over, if I were you. The water is just chilling...makes my head spin."

He turns his head 360 degrees for added visual effect.

Marina just nods, filling up her water bottle, capping it, and then heads out of the room, making a beeline for her own.

After a few moments, Slick's expression shifts to a more neutral one. Shoot, he thought that was a good one...what is it he's doing wrong?
