PHASE 2
Lacus giggled as
Yzak's raised voice was clear, even through the closed door.
"Poor Yzak, he's
had a rough couple of days," she stated, grinning at Kira when he snorted.
"I think his day
is going to get worse before it gets better," Kira replied.
"True. Do you
think we should-" she was cut off as Yzak stormed back into the room.
"Why are you
still here?" he directed at Kira.
"I'm just
finishing lunch," Kira replied evenly. "I'm about to leave so I can

"Lacus, I'll see you in a bit."

Lacus, frowning at the dreamy expression on her face.

asked, turning to Yzak with an expectant look.
"What? How

Lacus sighed.
"When you look at me, do you think, 'dear god, what has the woman done

"Are you asking
if I find you attractive?"
Lacus sighed and
moved to the communication console.
"Kira," she
greeted. "Does my hair look okay?"
"It's fine. You
look beautiful," he replied.
Yzak wanted to gag.
