The bright smile certainly is a winner. "Miss Dunwick, if we're
being formal. Amelia is fine, however." I give her a smile of my
own, showing dimples and hold out my hand. "I'm employed by
Helios Overnight Services, and we specialize in, among other
things, courier services all over the world. Including regular
routes from New York to Los Angeles."
I wait for her reply before turning to the excellent Ms. Hunter.
"I enjoy your work very much. It's clear you also do." I manage
to keep my voice even. It doesn't do for a woman pushing fifty
to fangirl.

When Ms. Kenneally is distracted by business, Alicia takes the
time to enjoy the mocha, taking a long drink of the coffee
concoction. A smile forms on her face as she tastes the
excellent coffee. Hell, she might have to come here just for the
drinks. Pop in first thing in the morning, get a mocha, then pop
out to work. What’s the point of being a demi-goddess if one
can’t abuse that power for their own benefit?
Truth be told, she’s in her own little coffee world when she
half-notices Amelia speaking to her. Her natural smile comes
back, directed at Amelia as Alicia nods. “Oh, yes, thank you
very much. I’d offer a selfie, but probably best not to in this
place, hrmm?”
With that, Alicia butts out again, letting them get back to
whatever it is that is more important than she is beautiful.
However, the Sidhe has coffee, so she’s a lot less of an
impatient woman. That and her fantastic time with Lucien, who
manages to keep up with her for five days.

“Amelia, then.” I nod a bit as I take another sip. The notice
she’s responding to had Morgan’s name on it, after all, so
there’s no reason to think she’d need to be told who she’s
talking to. And this way, I’m not lying to her. A technicality,
to be sure, but of such technicalities, all of Civilization is
made.
“You’re a courier?” Another nod, “Bonded, and everything? I
assume you read the entire notice,” like the part where it
talked about potentially extra-legal activities. Not that I’m
saying that, of course. But bonded couriers, after all, have
special status when it comes to moving goods and documents about
without… interference. And while it’s incredibly useful, that
also usually means background checks and dismissal if someone
gets caught dabbling in criminal enterprise on the side.
Then she’s talking to my other new friend, and… hm. I enjoy your
work very much. Some kind of artist? Someone who’s visible
enough to recognize on sight, so probably not a journalist or
author… interesting. The Chevaleress isn’t just another idle
rich noble. That bodes well, even if I’m not loving the sound of
things like ‘Autumn’.
“Not to be too… indelicate… about it, Amelia, but what sort of
roles could you see yourself playing?”

"I'm not a courier myself, I head the transcription department."
Another smile. "But yes, our service is bonded and there are
those that are willing to take on... more outré cargo." There
are a few Diego allows and encourages to, in fact.
"Personally, I would simply be the facilitator, getting you in
touch with that department of our company. I have some minor
experience in social engineering, but probably not at the level
you may be looking for." I lift a shoulder in a shrug. "And
you're certainly welcome to contact HOS yourself, bypassing me.
I simply wanted to make you aware that there is a company that
takes on that kind of work specifically for those outside the
normal mortal realm."
In fact, I'm mildly surprised she isn't aware of it already.
It's fairly well-known in various circles.

Alicia sips her coffee, debating whether to hit them with
grandeur to get their attention back on her. However, not her
cafe, and not the dreaming so it's probably a bad idea. The
thought passes as quickly as it comes. There will be other
times.
Hrmmm, what about flickerflies?

“Do you now?” I nod when she talks about her own experience in
social engineering. “Can you give me some examples… no
specifics, of course, but it’s helpful to make sure we’re
looking at the same things.”
And she heads the transcription department. Also useful, for
those times when Morg or I might not have the time time to
commit something directly to memory: quick uplink, read it off,
and poof, records are totally off-site.
“Either way, I’d love to have your contact info. And no, of
course we wouldn’t go bypassing you.” I consider, “I mean, not
unless there was a reason to make sure you had full deniability
on a job.”
I lean over toward Sealgaira a little and say, “After all, it’s
only proper to ensure that one looks after one’s people, right?”
Not that she’ll have any solid idea about the context, but she’s
a noble, she’ll get that much at least… and it’s rude to simply
talk around her.
And one should never be rude to an elven noble, especially one
whose rank indicates they might actually be capable in a fight.

I smirk. "I made a client change his password to something I
wanted once. He was being an ass, so I researched him a little,
then gave him various meaningful clues, then forwarded an email
suggesting he'd been the victim of a data breach encouraging him
to change said password. He did so, changed it to precisely what
I had suggested, and I loaded his account with pornography of a
rather disturbing nature and made sure his wife found it. It was
a full haystack of the last straws she needed to leave him for
good, invoking their prenup as she went."
I'm actually rather proud of myself for that one, all around.
"My plausible deniability comes from the fact that I'll merely
put you in touch with that department then go hands-off. It's up
to the couriers at that point, at least to observation." Because
yeah, I take care of my people, too. I'm just going to make sure
the help I give is going to be behind the scenes, mainly by
making sure Diego knows what's going on. Doesn't do to keep
anything from the boss, after all. And it makes it easier for
him to take care of all of his people.

Still minding her own coffee, Alicia looks over at Brigid when
she talks about looking after one's people. The Fae looks
between the two chatting along, and it's not a happy face. She's
glowering, though mostly at Amelia. However, Alicia says
nothing.

“I see..” I nod a little as Amelia describes her exploits. And
again as she outlines how she’d see to her own plausible
deniability. It feels just a touch… reckless… to me, since her
name would still be in the mix. Even if there’s no paperwork,
investigators leaning on the right people… yeah, they’d suss it
out, and when you’ve had to avoid the kinds of angry lizards
we’ve had after us…
But who knows, for Stupidworld, it might even work. Certainly,
this place doesn’t seem like they’re quite up to the level of
pure paranoia that we’re used to having to overcome. If that’s
typical… hey, this could be a fairly relaxing little vacation
while we wait for things to cool down back home.
The dragon can’t stay that mad forever, right?
Oh, but speaking of mildly grumpy beings of potentially heinous
degrees of power…
“As I said, we’d love to get your contact info, Amelia. There
are definitely places I can see where your talents could come in
handy.” Then I glance side-wise toward Sealgaira.
“I do confess, I’m… not really local, here, and you’re clearly
someone I’d recognize, if I was. Once my business is done, I’d
love to know more about you and your talents, too, Alicia.”

I catch Alicia's glower out of the corner of my eye. Here I
thought I was being respectful of her privacy and being
non-obnoxious by not fangirling. Treating how I'd like to be
treated. But I tend to prefer to be out of the limelight, which
is clearly not the case for her. So I treat her closer to how
she seems to want to be treated. "Ms. Hunter, I apologize for
taking your companion's time with business. I would have loved a
selfie, but I do agree that the venue is less than optimal." I
give more of a bow than a nod of my head, being just a touch
obsequious.
I hand who I think is Morgan Kenneally a card with my name,
email (adunwick@heliosservices.com) and a cell number with a 512
area code. "I'll look forward to hearing from you."
