Ersa laughed at his response, then gave a sweet smile, "[color=fff200]Vell perhaps I am waiting to pop it, vhen the conversation turns drab.[/color]

She giggled at her joke then nodded as he offered coffee, noting the fact that he was a kraut, "[color=fff200]I vould, love a cup. Thank you! If you prefer to speak in German, I can. My pronunciation is vorth crap, but I like to practice?[/color]"

She paused for a moment before continuing in English, "[color=fff200]So I assume you have read the case file? An important list of rich Soviet elites who escaped the Gulag's has been taken from the British Embassy. Rumours that it is going on the black market in Prussia makes for a very interesting case.[/color]" She paused when he asked her what she took in her coffee, "[color=fff200]I take it with a smidge of cream.[/color]"

She leaned forward from her chair to take the hot coffee, her dress riding up slightly to reveal a black garter and a sharp Russian Spetznaz knife. She took a sip and gave him a small smile, "[color=fff200]Thank you, darling. So have you given any thoughts on how we should play this? Our flight to Prussia is tomorrow, and I figured we better hash out a story before ve valk in blind.[/color]"
