"So you are saying that there is no further use for you unless trouble's already happened, and the violence is already here? Are you going to wait 'til causalities pile up as well?"
Sheeva hesitates in her weight-lifting. Emboldened, Cassie continues, "You'd look pretty stupid if a gigantic spider-demon... clown-thing came out of the teleporter and you weren't there to help kick its ass because you want to lift weights by yourself."
Now she sets them down and looks back over her shoulder. "Are you calling me unintelligent, child?"
'Now try things diplomatically,' she thinks. "We don't know what's going on and we'd like your strength and experience Sheeva. You're the heaviest hitter on our team." And in the back of her mind, she thinks, 'And I know you've been keeping yourself apart from the team ever since Sam accidentally broke your hands. Good thing Kaito was there for you afterwards, eh?'
Sheeva faces her fully again, striding up to her. She stares down at Cassie's face, and for a moment she feels what her father must have felt on this same island twenty years ago when he stared down Goro; having a shokan look like they're ready to rip you to pieces can be a pretty frightening thing and would make any reasonable person question the choices that led them to this point.
But instead of that, Sheeva relents. "Very well. I shall be there. But if this is a waste of my time, I shall take my time back out of you, Little Cage."
She turns to head towards the showers, grabbing two towels as she goes. "Looking forward to it..." Cassie mutters.
