"I hate these parties."

They're the first words he's spoken since they left the safe house half an hour ago, en route to yet another tedious function. A necessary part of the job; wouldn't do to slight the high-and-mighty, after all, not with that current bill for funding being passed through legislation. So here they were, to make nice, rub elbows, and remind the rich and powerful exactly what their money was buying.

Gabriel hates it more than anything, but then, Brady would know. After all, they've been partnered for the better part of four decades. At least he always plays his part in front of the crowds, and he stays true to form as the car pulls to a stop in front of the brightly-lit venue, looking her over with a critical eye and tucking one tiny stray hair back into place.

"Well?" If they must, they must, and he must at least look presentable to the crowd. Her judgement is sharper than anyone's, and almost as sharp as his.
