( The sun cracks through the clouds as Ezra opens the trunk of the Adin-Gainor's vehicle. Shopping was both a gesture of good will for Jacqueline and an attempt at getting a few hours between him and Elena. He just needs to keep buying time. Collecting what he and his husband had packed, and a few shopping bags, he closes the trunk again.
He parked across the street from the compound, leading the way up the front walk, letting his husband and Jacqueline in through the metal door.
Once they reach the front door, he speaks in the Colony's tongue, an older pre-English English announcing the three of them and then he turns to David to do his thing. David has the power and the clearance to get them inside.
Once the door is open, they're presented with a far different architectural design than one might expect from the outside.
The member that greets them is dressed in a sequined black belted pencil dress. Allura, of whom David and Jacqueline are familiar, is higher echelon. One wouldn't think someone from this high up would greet members just checking in. Something might be wrong. The lobby isn't as bustling as it usually is, but it is also early in the morning. Or, this may have to do with the Adin-Gainors being the ones who are checking in. Or Jacqueline. It remains to be seen. She eyes the shopping bags, but doesn't say anything.

Except... "Good morning." )
