Regulus tenses slightly when he thinks he hears Telrim mutter something, though he can't hear just what she said. He wishes Mikoto had waited until after this for any questions, and hopes she will after this. It's like she can't keep in mind that the yeerk is technically an enemy now... just one they have to work with for the moment.

Mikoto and Regulus take up guard positions on each side of the door, watching for any trouble.
