Being a Promenade agent meant that Yuto faced a test of will nearly every day, and even though he was exempt from the training exercise, today was included. As he watched the camera feeds beside the Director, he felt his cheeks begin to strain. The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, inching wider as Beatrix’s confrontation went on. The look on Static’s face as he was subject to her whims, it was just so… so [i]pathetic![/i]

A quick snort left his mouth before he smothered it with a cough.

God, she sure knew how to press people’s buttons. Even if he’d never admit it to her face, it was… amusing. When he wasn’t on the receiving end.

By the time the agents all returned for debriefing, he was back to his stone-faced self. He nodded a goodbye to the Director before making a quick retreat to his car. Alone once more.

It took a few deep breaths to acquaint himself to the new location. He habitually adjusted his attire, grey checkered pants with a matching vest over a crisp shirt, then got to work. First course of action, secure routes to his requested escape vehicles: the R1M, the car, and the backup car. Make sure the valet service wouldn’t be in his way. He was in the middle of checking his watch for the locations when Static started talking. Saying something about [i]couples[/i].

Yuto, currently socialite Akira Shinmei, regarded him with a flat glare.

As… absurd as the suggestion was, it brought another concern to mind. Yuto was properly operating in the field this time. No more just waiting around in the car, he had to, urgh, participate. If he didn’t pull his weight around for this mission…

He coughed, trying to clear the anxious lump in his throat.

[color=7ea7d8]“Ideally, you’d all be proficient in Mandarin but…”[/color] He supposed it would be too much to make a spy agency enforce its agents to learn the second most spoken language in the world. Yuto clicked his tongue and kept it to himself. [color=7ea7d8]“It should be no matter. Macau is hardly a monolingual state and the casino staff are almost certain to all be proficient in English. Still, if you need to convey something in Mandarin without whispering into your smartwatch like a loon, I… suppose you should come to me or Babel. Otherwise, stay on task. Let’s limit the distractions this time.”[/color]

His glare shifted to Kingfisher at that. 

[color=7ea7d8]“Once I’m done with the vehicles, I will be looking around the dining area. Bug, if you could find your way into the restaurants' reservations and cameras, we may be able to find some big names.”[/color]

Second course of action was to investigate the five-star restaurants the casino boasted. After all, dinner meetings – and drinking – were the cornerstone of Asian business.
