Truth is, Sid feels a little bad not getting up and speaking to open this meeting up before Sera realizes she has to do it. She sees that look of horror and answers it with an apologetic frown so slight one might need a magnifying glass to see it - that or Sera's intense sensitivity to the feelings of others. Truth also is, Sid's uncomfortable in this space she and Shoshannah reorganized and rearranged and refurbished into something more relaxed than what it was before. She's surrounded by friends in their little alcove of seating out of the way of those Other People, and still they make her uncomfortable. Táltos, who makes her uncomfortable due almost entirely to unfortunate circumstances. Garrett and Kalen who make her uncomfortable for different reasons but from their own actions. Sid is uncomfortable and getting up and speaking in front of all of these people isn't really her thing, either.
Still, she feels bad anytime she does something, directly or not, that upsets Sera.
When Jim appears to lean in a doorway Sid does not become any less uncomfortable, but her gaze is drawn to him like a magnet, and like a magnet holds there for a moment before her attention shifts to each speaker in turn. If anything, their talk is what makes her shift in her seat, the shadow forming between her brows deepening by degrees.
"No," she says quietly after Mara. "No one should go there alone. Can we," but she stops, because she does not feel that 'we' is something she should offer. When it comes right down to it, Sid is hardly in a place to help anyone here with any of this. "Is there some more, ah, mundane way? To make sure he's even there? Track his cell phone, or, monitor his takeout orders. Or something."
She makes no effort to disguise her surprise at Grace's response to Jim's suggestion. She looks from Grace to Sera to Jim. Sid didn't make contact with the Techs who were around when John Brogan was running around with his people, but she knows they were around. If anyone would know if these transhumanists and those from that earlier time are the same or different groups, it would be one of those two.
