"It's nice to meet you. I'm Crystal," the woman said and smiled, reaching out her hand to shake theirs, and Gabriella took it first - returning her smile with a pleasant one of her own. She could hear it, focusing on her rather than the man next to her. "Do come in. I was expecting you, so I put on tea. And coffee. I wasn't sure what you'd prefer."
Gabriella smiled at that and stepped inside. It was a cramped space, filled with little knick-knacks that had a thin layer of dust on them, and several cats lounging on various pieces of furniture.
"You have a lovely home here, Crystal," she commented politely as she left Sylar's side to scratch a cat behind its ears. "Cute cats."
