Glory And Paper...
As if "some questions" never happened, everything involving all the paperwork suddenly done and over, reports filed and gone, the three were left with just David and Marra. Then the paramedics took Marra away, and they were left with just David. Who extended a card, a bit...
Giving Data...
Sev wasn't in the habit of attacking those he'd just shaken hands with. But given what he'd just been through, he could perhaps be forgiven for being, hmmm... a bit gruff and irritated, to put it mildly. Breath, a bit ragged. Gun put back in holster, but hands still...
