[b]Mission Four - Knives in Phnom Penh[/b]

Marta's eyes tracked Yulian's departure carefully until he turned a corner and left her field of view. 

[color=f6989d]"Well... it seems you keep very interesting company."[/color]

Her thoughts were more along the lines of "Wicked, Pompous Douchebag" - she'd seen enough of the PLA's camps to experience little but contempt for the idea - but it seemed like poor diplomacy to exchange barbs at this early stage, especially after she'd just gotten her habit dry-cleaned. Instead, she made an innocent gesture by placing a hand over her face.

It would be even worse if Huo Ren and his toadies got used to making verbal shows of force and thinly veiled threats. Marta at least had more faith in the members of Task Force Obsidian... she kept close to Nil especially, however. Not that the young woman clearly couldn't take care of herself, but it might mean trouble if someone tried to take advantage of her relative lack of social graces. The nun kept her constantly within reach in case she had to be pulled from some unintended faux pas.
