Crosstesting permitted [SCP-049xSCP-XXX]

New partner

Lywen had come out of her hide-y hole to go with the plague doctor after all.

She was currently dusting her white lab coat off from the dirty ventilation shaft while watching the Euclid SCP very closely. He held his word and did not touch her to end her life like she thought, but rather walked around in the chaotic office searching.
The woman didn't know what the tall black figure was looking for but neither did she want to offer her help.
However, that wasn't necessary after the man ripped a standing light to pieces and offered her the long tube part of it. As weapon, she assumed and grabbed it. But the black cloaked man didn't let go and glared at her through the holes of his bird mask.

"We will be both holding it. It will be a constant reminder of our distance.", SCP-049 explained.

Lywen chuckled, "I don't need a reminder for that. Believe me, I don't exactly have the urge to hug a monster." She tried to pull the stick out of his hand but the doctor looked at her annoyed and serious.
"Name-calling is not needed, woman. Distance is quick to change when being distracted or if we have to run. You only have one try, because your decaying corpse will not stand up again after you touch me even for a second. We're both holding it, did I make myself clear?"

The female scientists didn't flinch but still felt a coldness in her stomach. This wasn't just an annoying person, but a strong being that could end her life at any time. His unnatural ice blue eyes were already a reminder of that. Better to just comply instead of pissing him off.
She nodded.

"Wonderful.", he said flatly and turned, holding the other end of the tube.
"I will bring you to our cell. I assume that you have everything you need."

"Is Torvic still there?", Lisa asked as they started walking.

"I think so. I told him that it will be the safest option, but I didn't exactly lock him up."
The human scoffed, "How nice of you."
049 decided to not gift her with a reply.

"Do you even remember the way?", Lywen asked after a while of walking through several doors and hallways. So far they haven't met anyone which was a relief.

"Straight, straight, straight, left, straight, right, elevator on left, right-"
"Okay, okay I get it. You're smart, okay?"

The plague doctor would have chuckled probably, but he still didn't like this woman. But she made Torvic happy so he would have to endure it.
Sliding his keycard across a door slot the human started speaking again:"Where did you get that by the way?"
"Why are you trying to hold a conversation with me?", the SCP finally asked with a neutral metallic voice.
"I'm curious. I can't exactly talk with SCP's often and you're my partner for now, or not? Also I'm bored."

"Surviving is boring to you, Dr. Lywen?" Usually, he wouldn't call an infected person 'surviving' since they are rotting from the inside, but he would have to adapt his speech for now.

"Well, it's very quiet. And- I don't trust you, still, but I believe you that you don't want to kill me."
"So you mean you're feeling safe?", SCP-049 asked casually, not expecting an answer.
"Kind of? At least at the moment."
Now the tube in both of their hands proven to be very useful as the plague doctor suddenly stopped and Lisa instantly felt the distance and was quick to halt. She wanted to complain about the abrupt stop but that's what he gave her the stick for after all.

"Dont."

"Huh?"
