While some hosts were more favorable than others, Maddox had always been able to find a use for the bodies that he inhabited. He could make use of them, even when they offered him nothing. That was not the case when it came to the little Nephilim, to the halfblooded that he'd come across shortly after he had come to the city. No, she was a treasure trove of magic and power, with the ability to do something that he had never been able to. Which is precisely why he continued to access her body, to take what she had for himself and use it as he saw fit. That day happened to be because he'd needed to acquire something valuable to another, one that would ensure his pockets ran deep. "You're awake, good," he stated after he had come back into the common room, a bottle in his hand. "Don't worry, I didn't use you to kill anyone. This time," he grinned as he held the bottle out to her.

It had been necessary, to get out of her lab and to sit down to enjoy herself. The days had seemingly begun to blur together, as Sanem spent more and more time with her eyes glued to a computer screen. Tests had been run almost nonstop, as the training had continued within the Outpost. But she couldn't think about that right now, not when she needed to reset and refresh for the next full day she would spend in the Labyrinth. Which is why she had come out to the bar, to enjoy a night out with Serissa before she was pulled back in. Though, based on the messages that continued to come through, Sanem wouldn't be given the break that she needed. "It's like they want me to eat, breathe, sleep work right now."
