ISLA
"I knew you'd know. And yes, that is so," Isla chimes back with a fiendish sort of smile in his direction, only to snort and put her free hand to her forehead at the reminder of what she had done to him when it came to arm amputation. "Oh gods, I had forgotten about that. I'm so sorry," she says, trying to hide her grin and failing spectacularly. "I imagine I will hear about that from Nate the next time I see him, too." Not one of her most professional reactions; at least he doesn't seem to be holding it against her.
At least she can brag about the shift she'd gained thanks to Remi, Isla leaning in, as if it's some sort of secret she's about to share with him. "A kraken," she whispers, and if it's possible to sound girlishly excited about the prospect of becoming a mythical nightmare squid, Isla manages it.
Going to the Oasis, though? That sounds like an offer she might have to take up, if only so Varus can't accidentally catch her naked again. "Sure," she says with a vibrant nod, only to pause as he reaches down for an oyster. Eyes widening at the sight of the pearls, she accepts it and raises her eyebrows at him. "No way did you just find this," she says. "Is your new arm a pearl detector or something?"
