Marigot? So they finally finished it?"
Anna had received the announcement about the creation of a new state-of-the-art prison that would be specifically designed to contain Others but wasn't certain how she felt about it. On the one hand, it would help drop the large number of Others who managed to escape from the prison in Angola and make transport much easier. On the other hand, this would be the first prison of its kind and there was no telling how successful it would be at containing more powerful Others like Demons.
"Well, I hope you can catch the guy before he does more harm to anyone else...."
She paused for a moment, taking a sip from her drink again as she decided on asking her next question or keeping it to herself. During that time, Pascal finished off the last pieces of the croissant. Full and content, he gave a small chirp before climbing down Anna's arm and into her bag.
"So.....how is Shadow doing with the whole....you know....being human thing?"

Sunshine nodded. Marigot' high security would be under the maintenance of the Others Unit, which divvied up a lot of time for officers. Some were being deported to work only at the prison in case a riot or breakout was expected. Thankfully, she and Shadow had been kept in the offices as they needed a veteran on stsndby. That and Sunshine would miss going down to talk to Anna.
A very big part of her wanted Pocahontas to go there. While it was true the second medical head wasn't part of the psycho gang, the initial fear of "suckers" still stuck to Sunshine like royal icing to a cookie.
With the Sapien in regards to Shadow, she milked the thoughts about it.
"Kind of a mixed bag. There's a bit more swagger in his step - then again, he always was the confident type. He really misses his chaos, but even he says that's the one downside"

"Uh huh."
Anna nodded her head slowly but continued to stare at Sunshine with her large blue eyes, an inquisitive look on her face.
"And how are you taking it?"
She tried to keep her face perfectly neutral as she asked the question, but her lips kept twitching at the edges like she was trying to stop herself from smiling. Anna would never say it in front of them, but she had noticed a long time ago that Sunshine and Shadow were very close, even for partners in the BPD. Of course there had never been anything romantic between them, but now that Shadow had briefly been turned into a human and a very attractive one at that....

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss healing myself after a small burn."
Sunshine shook her hand with a false wince. It was funny how you took all the simple things in life for granted, such as a healing skill when you accidentally got hurt. She was shaking her hand down when she noticed something in Anna's face. Was it teasing in her expression? And why was her mouth quivering to hold back a smile. There was something tht her friend was dying to tell her. Her face said it was good news.
"What/" she asked, her green eyes furrowing.

"Oh, nothing."
Clearly her efforts to remain stony-faced had not worked and Sunshine had noticed her struggle to avoid smiling. Anna quickly picked up her drink and sipped at it. However, she knew her face was close to cracking and she just HAD to make some mention of Shadow's new form just to see how Sunshine would react.
"For being such a grumpy Other, Shadow sure does make a handsome human."

Sunshine sipped her drink in reply. Anna was being quirky, and not the typical 'rubber-ducky on the desk for good luck in getting the bad guys' quirky. She was hiding something.
Until Anna said in Sapien form, Shadow was handsome.
She spittled in her cup, glad not to accidentally hit Anna which half-drunk caffeine. Was Anna saying she liked him? No, Shadow and Anna were more like siblings who pretended to bicker over pointless stuff then bond over a common interest. That only meant...that Anna was trying to hook her and her partner up. Really? People thought she and Shadow were dating outside of the police force? Sure, they almost never were spearated, but the thought of romance was never in Sunshine's mind. But then she remembered how nudged her that day they hung out with Yang. He had been joking, but something about how he had hesitated to touch her hand...
"I guess if you like that disheveled, emo-rocker look, he does..."

Anna had expected Sunshine to respond to her comment, but when she literally spit her drink out into her cup, it took all of the young medical examiner's willpower to not break out in laughter. Instead, she kept her mouth firmly closed and only let out a single snort of mirth.
Sunshine clearly tried to brush the comment off as if it were nothing, but there was no way she could hide the color that had crept into her cheeks at the topic of Shadow and his current human form. Anna managed to swallow down the last of her giggles before she finally spoke, although the mirth still sparkled across her blue eyes.
"Well, I'd say quite a few women do based on the number of looks I've heard he's gotten around Bellerouge lately. Although I guess briefly being stuck as a human didn't change his attitude very much, either."

"You can get rid of the spikes and the fur, but you can't get rid of the...prickly heart," Sunshine shook her head with a semisweet smile. While Shafow may have been the flavor of Bellerouge for a while, she still saw her partner who wasn't afraid of a challenge. A guy who, once you got past he big defenses, could be a really kind individual. Anna saw it, too. The mirth in her eyes was a dead giveaway.
Sunshine set her cup down, asking, "You run into any big leads in investigating John and Janie Doe?"

"Nope. Rain or shine, day or night, Other or Human, Shadow's still the same."
With that said, Anna finished off the last of her drink before setting the empty cup down on the table as Sunshine asked about her latest case. Immediately her blue eyes began to sparkle with the passion she always showed working as a medical examiner for the BPD.
"Not yet, but I'm still examining the bodies. In fact, I've got some tests running back at the department. Based on the state of the remains and lack of external wounds, I'd say Mr. and Mrs. Doe were poisoned. However, I won't know if it was magic based or not until I get the results back from the screenings. I'd bet my rubber duck collection though that it was some form of potion."

Oh, thank God the topic was willing to change. It was nice talking about the relationships and all, but Anna's pushing had begun to make Sunshine feel awkward. Was Anna trying to set her and Shadow up? If so, she wondered how it would have gone.
"Don;t take my rubber duck away," she cried sarcastically.
Oh, the rubber duck collection. Sunshine always called the small toys the Other Units had on their desks, courtesy of Anna, to be their good luck charms. There was even a time when she wanted to ask if some kind of ward banishing bad luck had been placed on them. Whenever the team had their rubber ducks sitting nearby, it seemed to make everything smoother. Susnhine was starting to get attached to hers in particular, with the flower wreath on its head
