When the boy, who was acting as Iris's meat shield, spoke out he mentioned something about dating Isabel. That was something Syn had heard before and it made her look the boy over more carefully. "I remember you showing up at Sanctuary not too long ago. You announced your relationship at that time." She would have to corner the boy so that she could speak with him more on the subject.

The obvious facial expressions on Iris's face told Syn that she was still getting under the other girl's skin. "Yes, I can see you're still alive. I wasn't expecting you to die. No, in fact I was hoping to see you again." Again the wicked girl smiled to Iris. Syn heard the comments from the others but her attention was focused on Iris at the moment. She did note the interest in Sanctuary from one of the guys however.

Iris gave a very brief and undetailed summary of the connection between herself and Syn in hopes of keeping any of the others from jumping into a pool that was much deeper than expected. She then started to make her way out of the canteen which took her right by Syn. Not moving and only smiling Syn stood her ground but allowed Iris to pass. Although, she was fully expecting an attack from behind.

With Iris now gone Syn redirected herself to the remaining bystanders. "I'm sure all of this has been confusing to you but I assure you that what goes on between Iris and myself doesn't affect any of you." Her bright green eyes locked on to the boy who had allowed Iris to hide behind him. "Now then, I think you and I should have a little talk."

Calley watched Iris going. With her went a chat about powers that might or might not cause mental quirks, a back story that could just involved Hunter, and someone whose name wasn't Syn. Three excellent reasons to go after her.

Plus, Calley go to do this: he brushed past Syn. "No, I don't really think so." He turned at the door, and pointed a finger at her as a reminder; "Be useful," he ordered, shifting his finger towards the food, "or bagel." With that, he left the canteen. It might not be too late to catch Iris.

((ooc: Continued in “A Little Chitchat”.))

Voltaire first saw Iris leave to room and then calley went on after her. He decided to be brave for once and took a stance. He decided to stay and find out as much about this woman as he could. If she is really evil it's best to find out more about her. "Keep your friends close, and you enemies even closer." he thought. He sat down again and drank his tea. He looked at the woman and said:"Aren't you the spoiler of parties." He said that to hide his insecurity and relieve some of his stress at the same time. Now that there was no more fighting between two people, his power could be kept in check because of the low level of stress. "If you think you can get on my good side now, you got allot of work to do." He said to the woman and looked a bit angry at her.

Once Iris and Calley were gone the red haired guy started in on Syn. He called her a spoiler of parties and stated that she had alot of work ahead of her to get on his good side. "Oh, you're gonna be fun." She stated in a soft tone.

It had been awhile since she had used her power of influence but now seemed like the perfect time to use it. Syn began to use her pheremones as she moved closer to the guy. Naturally she waited for a few moments to ensure the area was saturated enough for her dominance to take hold. "Somehow I don't think it will take as much work as you may think. I can be very likeable." Syn followed her statement with a sweet smile. "So why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself. You seem like an interesting person." To keep Voltaire off guard from what she was doing she placed her hand on his and gently gave it a squeeze.

As Syn came closer to Voltaire, a weird feeling came all over him. It started to make him think differently about her. It confused him a bit but he didn't twitch under the stress he had. He noticed that he had Less control over his powers when under stress and this situation was no different. He felt the warm feeling of energy building up. As syn came closer and closer he started to feel more relaxed and at ease.

"So why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself. You seem like an interesting person." To keep Voltaire off guard from what she was doing she placed her hand on his and gently gave it a squeeze.

Some small, but harmless sparks ran over his lower arm. He quickly pulled his hand away. "Don't do that." he said. "It's not very nice to blow up people on your first day." He continued. He looked down at his hand to see if something hit him and to not look at Syn. He hadn't been feeling this relaxed in a while and didn't know how to handle it very well. "Well seeing as you already know my powers now, what are yours?" he asked to get the conversation changed.

Shogun had sit quietly, eating and seemingly paying no attention. But he had been paying very close attention, and was prepared for a fight to break out at any time. As usual, he had his knife readily accessible, though hidden, so he would have an advantage, depending on Syn's powers. He made mental notes on everything said, filing them away, and paid most attention to Iris and Syn. He could actually sense something between them, that felt an awful lot like the harsh red of hate. Iris left, which Shogun decided would probably be a good idea, especially since she had no wish to start a fight and Syn was expecting one at any moment. Calley followed her, which was another good idea. Then Syn began talking to Voltaire, and something strange started happening.

The ripples were emanating from her, but they weren't focused like other mutants' abilities, they were just... floating. Was she releasing something? Then a change began to come over Voltaire. He became more relaxed, and his dislike for the woman lessened. Instinct started screaming 'danger' at him, and he wasn't one to ignore his instincts. "Whatever you're doing to Voltaire, stop it now. You're mutation is obviously powerful, and should be kept in check, not used on whoever you feel like." He became slightly paranoid that she may start to affect him too, but he kept it hidden. He was confidant that he would notice if she did.

Voltaire pulled his hand away after some sparks snapped from him. Syn raised an eyebrow momentarily out of intrigue. So he gets electrical when he's stressed. Why in the world would he be stressed now? Unless, he's never had a girl touch his hand. The thought made Syn laugh internally. She hated to think of what would happen if a girl kissed the poor guy. Maybe they'd both explode.

"So your power makes you become electrified? That's interesting." Syn paused deliberately as she thought before answering Voltaire's question. "I'm best described as being complicated yet charming." The girl smiled sweetly at Voltaire, but her attention was broken when Shogun interrupted.

She felt like the other man was practically scolding her like a child. Well, the fact of thr matter was that Syn is sort of still a child. However, after taking her new role as leader of the Order she had done her best to show a more grown up side of herself. She would be the first to admit though that she still did what she wanted when she wanted.

Glaring at Shogun with her piercing green eyes one would think Syn had heat vision as she was staring a hole through Shogun. "You obviously don't know me very well and for that very reason I will discard what you just said to me. I'm not harming anyone so back off."

"Whatever you're doing to Voltaire, stop it now. You're mutation is obviously powerful, and should be kept in check, not used on whoever you feel like." He became slightly paranoid that she may start to affect him too, but he kept it hidden.

"She is doing something to me?" He thought. This made the situation allot more difficult for him. He started to backtrack what happened and found no really weird flaw. "Maybe it is not supposed to come over as a flaw." He thought. this made him more stressed out then before and his relaxation started to lift up.

Glaring at Shogun with her piercing green eyes one would think Syn had heat vision as she was staring a hole through Shogun. "You obviously don't know me very well and for that very reason I will discard what you just said to me. I'm not harming anyone so back off."

"Again with the agressive attitude." Thought Voltaire. He was hoping this would not be a re-enactment of the scene they had just 10 minutes ago. "Ok, let's just all calm down and not get into each others hair." He said not only to calm the others but also himself. These types of situations normaly tick of his powers and he didn't want that to happen.

A thought occured to Shogun. This woman must be Syn. That would make sense; Antonescu had given him a description of her and her powers when he had given Shogun the inkection to combat it. His paranoia left him, and he had more of his food before responding to Syn. "Whilst you are staying here you will not use your powers wantenly. I doubt Antonescu would be impressed. I know that you can alter people's minds with your powers, so thus you have been doing harm by making Voltaire drop his defence. Fortunately my intervention has brought it up again." He gave Voltaire a nod. "Don't worry, it's not your fault. She's trying to relax you using pheromones, I'll warn you if she tries to do anything else." Shogun kept both hands above the table, confidant that he could reach his knife if she tried to attack him, even without his foresight.

Letting out a laugh Syn shook her head at the two men. "Are the two of you Hunters pets? I don't see any collars or leads attached to either of you." The girl squints her eyes a little as she looks Shogun and Voltaire over.

"As for your little explanation you stand corrected. I haven't harmed anyone. I'm just being friendly. If his powers hurt him then he is harming himself and if that's the case then perhaps he's a danger to others. Maybe he should be removed or put somewhere safe for himself and everyone around?" And so it was back to her infamous mind games. Oh how she loves her little games.

"As for your little explanation you stand corrected. I haven't harmed anyone. I'm just being friendly. If his powers hurt him then he is harming himself and if that's the case then perhaps he's a danger to others. Maybe he should be removed or put somewhere safe for himself and everyone around?"

"What!?" he thought to himself. Again he was faced with people disliking him for who and what he was, trying to lock him up somewhere "safe". This made Voltaire furious. He balded his fist, cracking his fingers. He kept his hands under the table. He looked down at his hands seeing small red electric currents comming out of his hands . Everything flashed in front of his eyes. Everything that had anything to do with disliking him because of who he was. He banged the table pretty hard making a hard bang. He stood up, putting his hands down on the table and leaning on them. he couldn't contain his anger anymore.

"I thought, of all people you people would understand what it would be like to have this power!" He started. Once that came out he couldn't contain the rest of it either. He needed to clear his mind of it. "People have been trying to keep me out of everything that i liked just for who and what i am!" he continued as his eyes turned red. More electric current began to come from his arms. "I lost everything because of this: My friends , my family, EVERYTHING!" "Do you really think containing me in some box would work !?"

"Sit down and calm yourself. She is trying to get you worked up, ignore her. You're only going to get yourself hurt." Shogun noted that all of Antonescu's men were now paying attention, though they didn't ouwardly show it. He assumed that they would do whatever it took if Voltaire attacked Syn, which, whilst it would be interesting, would ruin their lovely conversation. "Syn, stop trying to make me and Voltaire angry. partly because it won't work on me, but largly because it is working on him. His powers are dangerous, so don't cause him to start using them at random. If you wish to start a fight, at least take it somewhere else so that I may finish my meal in peace." Shogun then promptly returned to eating, though he continued to pay close attention to both Syn and Voltaire. And Antonescu's men.

The only thing Syn did after hearing the two men was laugh. Voltaire was flipping out and started shouting. Shogun was trying to settle Voltair down and persuade Syn to stop with her games. It was all too funny though.

Making her way back to the entry way Syn shook her head. "You boys are fun but I have other things to do. Maybe I'll see you both again." she then lowered her voice. "Preferably alone."

With that Syn left the canteen. Enough chaos had been caused for now. She didn't want to spoil all her fun too early.

As syn left the canteen, Voltaire found that he was being watched by most of the people in the canteen. He felt uncomfrotable with this idea. He picked up his coat and put it on. He put the hood on and said to shogun: "Sorry but i'm leaving, i'm to frustrated right now." After he said that he walked out of the canteen hoping he would be left alone.
