RE: We May Have All Come on Different Ships, But We're in the Same Boat Now (ZAY)
The clone softened up a bit to the hug and made no effort to resist. "I am sorry that my crying brought you distress," she said softly in to Ni's ear.
Zay appeared confused as she desperately sought any sign from Ni of the 'Right' answers. "I enjoy working on Mast...um....on the Pod Racers." Her anxiety gave way to genuine concern, "Oh NO, he has a race this weekend and the Racer wont be ready...."
The moment of honesty passed as Zay glanced in to Ni's eyes. She tilted her head a moment almost as if to mentally face palming herself. Her hands moved with purpose as her face relaxed in to a smile. For Ni, it was something wondrous to behold. Or horrifying. She could see right through the clone's actions and saw Zay dawn an emotional mask. "I am sorry," she said softly. "I have seen how you act and I didn't realize." her hands moved to her buttons as her eyes locked in to Ni's. With each word, she undid a button, "Of course, what I like, is to be with you...."
Despite the perfection in her emotional mask and the complete lack of tells, it was a lie and Ni knew it.
