Lapine could only sigh as the two jokes failed to stick; he was lucky he was cute, because he surely couldn't make jokes yet. At least she didn't have to worry about him doing anything stupid while she was gone.<br/><br/>Her arrival was a quiet one - when was it not? Hah! - as was the norm for showing up to a place with a bunch of civvies about. Lapine didn't like to make a big fuss after all until necessary; it was part of what she considered the marking of a professional. Eddie was not quite as happy as she thought he'd be at this point, but she soon found out why, considering nobody nowadays used manilla folders unless it was something serious.<br/><br/>And Lapine was not particularly plugged into the local news scene, but even she recognized a political bigwig when she saw one, which around here likely meant she was some sort of pirate queen or something.<br/><br/><Merde... why would someone connected to a politico take a job, then try and sabotage it?> Lapine inquired, but considered it was likely rhetorical, as Eddie had struck her as being a professional too, which in his case meant he didn't ask too many questions about what he was keeping in the warehouse (otherwise she'd be in deep shit with Leon). <I assume I can keep this? And the pay?>
