[color=maroon]"Oh, okay. Thank you!"[/color] But Kieran was gone, leaving Natalia to wonder whether he cared to hear what she had to say half of the time. The thought didn't bother her though; she knew he preferred to be left alone compared to the alternative, and she always respected his privacy even though she liked to help him every change she got. After all, they were partners at the ORO and it should already be expected that they both look after each other, both in and out of the field.

A few moments later, Natalia was off to gather some of her belongings. She gave thought to the mission ahead of her in order to come up with a quick mental list of the stuff she would need. The young woman rarely acted on a whim, and packing was no different. Every time she packed, Natalia would always double-check her bag to make sure she had everything she needed, and sometimes she would go as far as checking it a third time just to be on the safe side. Her OCD-like tendencies could be attributed to her upbringing when she was taught to be thoroughly organized, and such teachings have served her well into adulthood.

Now alone in her room, Natalia started to gather her belongings. A strange wave of nostalgia washed over her as she gave some real thought to the fact that she was going to Texas. It definitely wasn't home, but she knew some friends there who were originally from PR as well, and that was enough to make her eyes water.
