Test Thread: Back in the U.S.A.
Beatrice had been sent straight to New York from her last assignment. The instructions had felt abrupt, but these things happened sometimes. First among her strangely half-hearted instructions was bringing a few files on her last job to Nicolai, as an intellectual exercise, his mother claimed. She called him up.

	Nicolai he finished up his classes and had some time before he had to do anything else when his phone rang. “Hello, Nicolai speaking,” He said when he answered the phone. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	“Oh. Anything interesting in them or are they just the normal boring ones,” Nicolai said. He hated paperwork and making him do it he felt was his mother way of getting back at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nicolai was dressed up nicely in a suit. He was already seated and hadn’t been there long enough to order a drink. “You are looking quite lovely,” he said to Beatrice once he saw her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2010-09-25 02:50 am UTC (link)
	She smiles. "Why thank you." She slips him the dossiers out of her bag discreetly. The discretion is just habit, as it's not really necessary at the moment. But it's an ingrained habit. "Any recommendations?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“You’re welcome,” he said giving one of his famous smiles. The then took the dossiers and put them down on the table next to him in a discrete manner. “The rosemary sirloin is very good as is the roast beef.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Aside from recon trips to Madripoor and Rumekistan, I've mostly been helping out at the main office, doing local legwork with Paladin....who's gone from his usual flippant self to strangely overprotective ever since his daughter disappeared. It's kind of sad."

She wondered how well her father would take her disappearing -- actually disappearing, not just Working. Probably not well. But who knew?

	“At least it can be said he’s handling it better than my mother if I disappeared,” Nicolai said. It was a rather scary though as to what she might do. His father would be equally scary considering what he was capable of and that even SHIELD could not prove that he exists. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
