It was a credit to Sarah's composure that when Faith offered her hand and the very professional offer as a reason, she didn't so much as blink, even if the gut reaction was to turn and stare at Faith in open surprise. Not that she didn't believe Faith could be diplomatic – Sarah didn't just see her friend as someone who was around just to hit things, at all – but that it was directed at Jacen, well that was the shocker.
Besides, the open display of emotions was reserved for Tenel Ka and her various swings of behaviour. When the door closed behind the woman and they were no longer in normal hearing distance, Sarah couldn't help but hum a bit of the Twilight Zone theme song under her breath. First the post on the boards, now the presence in Jacen's room and the almost chipper air that came from her final words – it all added up to something distinctly not Tenel Ka.
She turned back to Jacen and Faith, swallowing a sigh. "If you need a few minutes to get dressed, we can wait here," she said.
