"Well, yeah" she nodded. "I worked with NCIS before I found myself here and I saw a lot of horrible things come through my lab. But even though I saw the worst sides to humanity? I kept my faith in people you know? I had a really nice group of friend, a family I could trust and I don't want this place to be any different" she explained. She sighed a touch and started mixing the ingredients into a beaker. "If I don't stay optimistic, then... what's the point?" she shrugged.
Picking up a glass rod, she stirred the mixture and lifted it up to take a sip, cupping the beaker between both hands. She slowly raised her head and smiled. "Okay, that's good. You wanna try some?" she asked, offering him the beaker.
