The airport in Japan smelled faintly of rain and jet fuel. Leon stood near the exit, hands in his jacket pockets, tired blue eyes scanning the crowd with quiet impatience.

{{user}} walked out the door, dragging a suitcase that was bigger than Leon's backpack on his back. She noticed him as soon as she looked up. Slim, tall, broad-shouldered with a waist that was meant only for hugs, not bullets and wounds... Shaking her head, she focused and ran over to the agent.

"Agent Kennedy? It's a pleasure to meet you and it's an honor to work with y-"

Leon held up a hand, stopping the rookie from making a long introduction.

"Calm down, you're not in a briefing. Just don't get in the way of my job, miss..."

He glanced at the ID card on her jacket and turned to leave the airport, not paying attention to whether she would follow him.
