Azriel… Malik… found himself thinking about the task the entire time he was on that ferry. What else could he do? As much as he liked getting out and seeing the Middle East, transportation, especially by means of boat, was not something he was fond of. He found it rather boring to be honest.<br/><br/>His only saving grace was looking over the various papers and the equipment he picked up. As expected, everything he needed was all there. He was just looking through it all out of force of habit, and in case there were some more hidden instructions. It wasn’t uncommon for Zachariah or any other Soldier to leave something extra for him. Though perhaps, in this particular task, since he was carrying out this task alone, that was not needed.<br/><br/>Once he had arrived in Icel, Azriel was relieved to be off that stuffy boat. It didn’t take him long to find Pinar. Even with her nose buried in the local paper, he recognized her from the photograph shown to him.<br/><br/>Azriel put on the best grin he could muster, “Were you trying to hide from me?” The tone of his inquiry was lighthearted, facetious. He appeared fairly relaxed, though tired, despite being so eager to get out of here. The tiredness probably helped in that regard. To any onlookers, they were old friends. The business side of things was to remain hidden, naturally.  He didn’t even know if ‘Pinar’ was her real name nor did he have the intentions of ever asking if they met outside of business affairs.<br/><br/>“I hope you were not waiting too long. Public transportation can be such a pain at times.” It was more of a code, a little something more to show that he was Mr. Topçu. It didn’t need explanation, he was almost certain, but he considered it taking precautions. Speaking in code was fairly common amongst Soldiers especially while on the field. “It has… been awhile since we last spoke, has it not? Too long if you ask me. I cannot wait to tell you all about my trip. America is… quite an interesting country.”<br/><br/>It was the first country that came to mind; he does seem to spend a lot of time in the States. Regardless, if she had no more business here, he hoped the message would be enough to get the hell out of here. He had a long night ahead of him, he just wanted to be prepared for tomorrow.
