Miss Martian stepped forward, centering herself with a deep breath, before sending tendrils of thought into both the humans' minds. The sense of underlying conflict between them pained the Martian who had denied her warlike nature. Instead of taking them one at a time, she flowed through both minds, 'accidently' leaving conduits open to allay the mistrust on both sides, so that each one could see that the other was truly who they said, and safe from tampering.

That it showed both a little too much of the depths in their emotions...that would not hurt them either, Miss Martian was willing to bet.
