Nabiya looked up at the French man and smiled, "Jacques! It's lovely to see you again." she said, standing up and dropped a kiss on each cheek. Mmm, lovely cheekbones, she thought, much like Maelstrom's. Her lower lip quivered slightly as she fought back the tears again.
Nik grinned at Jacques, "Oh...we knew each other well." he turned before Jacques could question him further about his friendship with Julia and made his way back to where Fran sat on a sofa alone. He sat down beside her, putting an arm around her shoulders as if it were the most natural thing to do.
