Candy?! Nysali must have meant Candice Whitehorn. It shocked Rupi to hear her referred to in such intimate and personal terms. Did the siren work her magic on Rupi’s own boss as well? The thought was terrifying to consider, that a simple flamboyant beauty like Nysa could possibly take control of the entire Institution simply by having seduced the chief executive. Rupi merely pursued her lips as she gazed back and forth from Nysa and Kaige, finding it hard to restrain her smile in the face of such…radiance. The Institution was a place of sutyd and austerity, yet these two managed to form a strong friendship.
Rupi knew it would benefit them both in the long run. When the talk turned to Akila and whatever she had done, Rupi watched the woman closely for her reaction. She didn’t seem rather accepting of her transgression, though there was none of the guilt either. There was a different kind, as if Akila was under pressure from something. “That is very inappropriate, Ms. Mayfair." Rupi replied with a smile, when it was suggested what sort of punishment she might inflict on Akila. She wasn't really mad though. "I’d appreciate it if you stuck with Dr. Vera, ladies. Romp Rupi has no basis whatsoever.” She affirmed, looking at Kaige. She really didn’t think her derrière was all that special to begin with. “Yes, Akila is on lockdown for what she did, but I aim to look into the situation. Both of you stay out of trouble now, you hear me?” Rupi stated, looking at both Nysa and Kaige, but especially Nysa whom she knew to be particularly naughty. With a nod of her head, she passed both women by to her office, beckoning Akila to follow.
“Go and lay on the couch.” Rupi ordered the jinn once they were inside, locking the door behind Akila and waiting for her to sit, before Rupi did so herself. She crossed her legs and laid her clipboard across her lap, the disciplinary report right on the top. “Now, do you want to tell me what happened? This is most unlike you, Akila. Have you been harbouring any feelings of anger and rage that you’ve been withholding from me? Perhaps against a fellow patient or even a staff member.” Rupi suggested, giving her a pointed glare, as if daring Akila to voice any complaint she had, especially towards Rupi herself.
