I'm looking for one of my assistants, she's gone missing.

Robin, are you there? We've got work to do.

[You might, however, find yourself in a busy port town with a bustling shopping scene. And in that town, you might just run across a tiny woman with a miniature bananawani hatchling sticking out of a very expensive purse. She's got her cigarette in a beautiful holder, a hoard of shopping bags hanging on her other arm, and she's definitely a little on the irritated side.

She's got a damn king to marry, and an idiot princess to dispose of fast. Or that's what she had to do. Who knows how she's going to manage now? Or more, how this world of worlds is going to manage having her.]


(OOC: Lady Crocodile, no hook, but you might wanna be careful around that hand anyway.)

[To be fair, though, politeness runs through him whether he's up to things or not. If she's paranoid, he can't discern. She has every right to be cautious telling someone she's just met about her goals, even if she's doing her best to keep herself sounding noble. It must be pride, he figures, that pushes her to say so much to an unkempt baggage carrier. Or perhaps she's just desperate for conversation with someone who has no real stake in any of this. Understandable. He's used to being the one to lend an ear when he has nothing to say of his own.

But soon enough his food and drink are finished, and he sits content in his seat and watches that silly pet of hers, and smiles. Strip the situation down to its simplest form and it becomes a pleasant day, a pleasant meal, and very interesting company.]

Well, I hope it all goes smoothly. I'll do my part of the heavy lifting so you can focus on all the politics.

[It's all useless chit chat, things to be used to gauge reactions and find hidden meanings through. A cold woman is one that's scorned too, so polite warmth is something important to her act.

Rosinante is clever, with a mind honed from Marine training and personal goals. Most men never even question her, even in her rougher moments. And that's why he's someone to watch, why she still talks just to watch how he responds.] Good man. I like someone who's willing to work hard. [She's entirely wary of putting any information in front of him that's not public level political. But she'll smile and work on her food, enjoying herself until the tab arrives.]
