<Jin Li>
::Jin didn't think anything by the fact that she was crouched down, checking out the scope. He thought she was very sensibly gaging the distance and making fine-tuned adjustments or whatever it is people who liked guns did with them. he wasn't disappointed from her lack of looking over - though his expression was magnificent indeed, thank-you! - he even grinned.::

::and, as a matter of fact, Jin did, for a moment, wonder if she were speaking to him when she sweetly "located" whoever she were locating. his eyebrows just barely started to draw together with confusion that was turning towards some degree of 'suspicion' when she fired.::

::Jin Li flinched, his eyes flying wide and his hands coming up as if to say, "No, wait - what's the plan?" But it was, of course, entirely too late for that sort of discussion.::

D:

::he sort of stared at her with a mixture of complete and utter shock and a healthy respect. the way one might 'respect' a cobra. he didn't know what the person did to piss her off, but by all of his power, he would make certain he wasn't going to ever be in that person's position if he could help it.::

::when she disassembled the gun and then snapped her order to him, Jin didn't move for a moment. but he replied with a sort of automatic playfulness that sort of came off slightly strained with his own surprise - which hadn't worn off yet::

What color did you use? D: ::he asked, as if it mattered. but it was one of the things he thought would be the most interesting...::

::but then she looked at him and he jumped to his feet, belatedly. cobra.::

Wherever you like! ::he agreed readily. not out of fear of her (not exactly, anyway), but out of the desire to get moving in the proper direction before they were trapped in the hotel. WHY did his mission partners so delight in keeping him out of the loop? Why couldn't they sit down and have a nice cup of tea while they discussed plans A, B, C, and D for "dumbass you did it wrong"? Why must it always be, "Sink or swim"?::

::NSKers were crazy. that's all there was to it::

::and that's why he had no fear of using Duchess's credit card for anything even remotely business related.::
