Lena may not be a scientist, but her presence is appreciated regardless. The caffeine becomes a much needed stimulant as the night wears on and on. Once they all know what that blue powder is Sid tilts her head from side to side, stretching out the muscles of her neck and massaging her shoulder.
"I never understood why people did it," she says in her usual quiet way, except not really. The longer they spent in her room, door closed against the world, the smells of chemicals and SCIENCE permeating their senses, the more relaxed she became. She may be quiet, but her sentences, when she strings them together, are less halting. There are fewer stops and restarts. "The rush isn't worth the effect roulette."
Jim's mention of the other person, the one wrapped in junked time, causes her head to snap up to look at him. Her brows are furrowed into the usual lines of worry. "I felt them. There was someone right behind us but...hidden." Behind them, which became in front of them when she turned around. In front of her. "You don't think...could that maybe've been Chastity?" she asks, looking from one Mage to the other.
Lena's suggestion that the dust might be magical is met with a momentarily blank expression from Sid. Despite her status as one of the Awakened, her default is mundane and rooted in scientific theories and facts. Her brows lift toward Jim, who she then nudges aside so she can review one of the slides under the microscope. Except this time, when she adjusts the dials, when she zooms in for a closer look, she's not looking for chemical compounds. She's looking for fragments of a Weaving. She doesn't rush it, not wanting to miss anything, if indeed there is anything to be found.
