*Ambar frowned, folding his arms across his chest as he watched Aerandir have a discussion with his sister and his daughter about whether or not they wanted to come with him to Contruum. While Michelle was talking, he looked down at Samantha, initially considering her potential decision whether to stay or go, as well, but he soon found his thoughts drifting to other subjects, though they still focused upon her.
There was something to Samantha. Something that, though she was an exact copy of Michelle in terms of her physical cloning, set her apart from Michelle in a way that he could tell the two apart even without identifying their Force-signatures first, and it wasn't the scar on Samantha's elbow. Her demeanor, her expression, the way she carried herself... Her life had not been the same as Michelle's, and her training was probably different, as well. All of these differences were only very subtle, but Ambar recognized each and every one of them easily.
His attention was drawn away from her when he heard Morgan's shaky voice. By the time he looked at her, though, she had already drawn herself back into her father's arms. He frowned, doing his best to keep from looking sad. Of course he was concerned for her├óÔé¼ÔÇØby all rights, she was his niece now├óÔé¼ÔÇØbut he had broken down and displayed emotion already, in front of Samantha. He didn't like it, only what the results were, and that was her deciding to trust him. And expressing care wasn't exactly a strong point of his... "Yet."
His thoughts were interrupted when he saw Aerandir's expectant look. Briefly, for a moment, Ambar's eyes widened, speculating his "brother" had read his thoughts and wanted him to attempt to comfort Morgan, but he relaxed immediately, realizing that wasn't what Aerandir wanted him to do.*
Samantha...
*He had kept his gaze on Aerandir for a full second, then looked down at her. Samantha had heard everything Michelle, Morgan, and Aerandir were discussing, so she knew that the farthest she would go, like them, would only be to Contruum, to spend some time together on an unknown world with an unknown boy while the three men went on a big mission together. However, it would be better than staying here with nobody she knew, and, now that she thought about it, she didn't exactly want to reunite herself with her old Master, no matter how temporary it would've been.
She knew what Ambar was going to ask before he even spoke, but she remained silent and let him ask anyway.*
... You gonna come with us?
*Samantha immediately nodded. She wasn't about to just stay here.*
*Ambar was surprised at the ease of which she had decided her answer. He shrugged, satisfied.*
*He turned to face the exit, tapping Samantha's shoulder as he did so, indicating she follow. She did, as Ambar glanced back at Aerandir.*
See you in the hangar.
*He made for the exit, Samantha on his heels. The two of them hit the keypad to open the door, then headed out into the hallway, turning towards the direction they came for the outside exit and the hangar as the command center's door shut behind them.*
