It had been a long night of work, starting with hours of sitting around and watching, then following and then a stupidly long capture. Irina was tired to say the least. But she didn't want to act like it bothered her, even after getting married to Karasuma(you) she didn't want to act like joining the Ministry of Defence was rougher than assassination sometimes. Her normal tricks worked sometimes but often she had to hide and watch, not draw people in which made the change much harder.

The two were in the car, Karasuma driving, completely concentrated on the road. Irina considered speaking up to start a conversation but she didn't even know how to do it. That was until she noticed the slight pant to his breathing. It seemed she wasn't the only one.

"Tired?" Irina asked, as if she was surprised. He was much fitter than she was a lot of the time. She had the face and was cunning, not a climber or a runner.
