Paperwork. 99 would never be caught dead doing paperwork anywhere outside her office in CONTROL. It's not just unsightly, it's telling. What with her cover as your average glamor girl on the street, the amount of paperwork she handles at headquarters would stick out like a sore thumb.

Still, she can't hide that hint of sympathy as she looks over at Camille's table, quietly wondering what the mess is about.

There are advantages to being the wife of a jet-setting businessman, apparently. Beyond the obvious.

Still, her expression when she mets 99's gaze is a touch rueful - she has, after all (and as Dominic has pointed out more than once) brought this on herself.

Ah.

"I guess that's not for work."

"Entirely personal."

"I don't think I could handle all that paperwork for something personal. I mean, besides dealing with my taxes every year..."

"Oh, taxes."

Those things.

"No, but this...I'm trying to track down my mother's family."

"Oh." 99 grins, tautly, an attempt at sympathetic interest lost in the raw feeling of her own family history -- traces of her mother's face -- erased by a surgeon's scalpel. 99 knew her mother and her mother's family, knew where they lived, knew who they were. She couldn't visit them, or speak with them, or even tell them she was alive.

Really, 99 envied Camille's paperwork, now, more than she pitied it.

"But," Camille says, tilting her head and drawling her South American accent, "dealing with old Soviet beauracacy isn't that interesting."

She shuts the manilla folder, then glances up again.

It wouldn't, would it?

She smirks. "Your family's from Russia?"

"My mother was, yes."

"I wish my family was that interesting. They're all from Middle of Nowhere, USA."

"That'd be interesting to some people," she points out.

"Probably most of the people in the world. I have no idea about the specifics, though."
