Jade, she expected. Yuri? Not so much. The sight of him wandering in so casually startled Natalia into dropping her folded arms as she stared at him.
"You? Again? Is wandering into other people's shadow confrontations a habit of yours?" Then again, she hadn't known that he and Anise knew one another prior to Natalia's arrival in Crystallis. But hey, she wasn't trying to choke him this time, so improvements had already been made.
Distractions aside, she turned her disapproving frown back to the two young girls standing in the middle of the lab. "I'm very disappointed in you. If you wished to do it alone, then you should have said as much. I would have respected your wishes, had you bothered to make them known."
As for the shadow, Natalia made a quiet 'hmph!' "As if we didn't already know Anise's circumstances. Have a little more faith than that." Of course that only pertained to Jade and herself. She looked from Yuri to Anise. "What about him? Do you trust him enough to stay?" Natalia did, but this was Anise's private guilt. It should be up to her.
