Carbide noticed Disthene turn away and occupy herself to give the heavy scout a moment to clear her eyes and settle her emotions. It was considerate in its own way, that she did not 'rush in' with teddy bear hugs and what not, but rather respected her dignity and the value placed on composure.
A deep slow breath of the cool night air, and one long exhalation later, Carbide has once again composed herself although doesn't seem to be acting like she is trying to pretend that didn't happen.
It was nice of Disthene to offer her a place to stay here at the embassy, and nicer still that she expressed honesty in professing her intention to side with the will of her diamond. Carbides shoulders bobbed in a single soft chuckle at this, and her eyes lidded and opened again gently under her visor. Of course she expected no less from the buxom diplomat.
"Your offer of amnesty and hospitality is a kind one, and mightily appreciated Disthene. I have a few haunts that I roam back and forth between on this planet, however.. I must admit that the prospect of a place where I am not entirely alone, or simply anonymous or an unknown is kind of appealing. I am pleased to accept your offer, and season it with my assurances that I will not allow myself to become underfoot or a burden. And should you require the full capacity of your embassy, I can make myself scarce rapidly, should the need arrive. I know I am on board to ride out this whole conflict, which is why I let you hear and know information about myself that perhaps only I and Mr.O know. It was nice actually."
Following suit, she knocks back the remainder of the fizzy liquid in her own container and sets it aside to catch the flickering fire light. Her own eyebrows arch slightly at the mention of the Diplomat's willingness to help categorize and form her 1000 years of accumulated planetary survey data from hundreds of different worlds, into a cohesive bargaining chip to dangle before the diamonds. A gross of potential colonization and resource sites, all uninhabited and ideal for utilization by the Homeworld empire, in exchange for letting the earth remain with minimal interference, so that its unique diversity can be preserved and catalogued, and also to observe the rapid techno-evolutionary course being undertaken by it's chief intelligent species, though primitive at the moment, they may be to gemkind.
"I appreciate that as well Disthene, I know I could be jumping feet first into a pit of servo-snakes, from technus-4, but I just can't seem to talk myself down from this one, and disappear into the fringe worlds again. I just can't seem to resist becoming a cornerstone or at the very least, some inadvertent grit in the gears of both sides here.. Such is my nature it seems. If you need further convincing, you have my permission to ask O about some of finer and.. not so fine moments. It's all a matter of perspective after all.. right? "
my hope is to teach our race once again that there are things we can still learn and observe
