"I hate politics," she said, pressing her lips together for a moment as she tried to keep her reactions to his lip-lick in check. "I make sure Jean Claude is aware of my dealings here, but I'm not here on official business for him. Not yet, anyway. If things work out, and you decide you want an alliance with him, then things should fall into place fairly easily."
She smiled apologetically as she added, "I work some pretty sensational cases, and being involved with a high profile figure like Jean Claude, we've had some issues with the media in the past--but thankfully I haven't run into any here, so it shouldn't be a problem--I just had to make sure he knew what I was up to so he can spin it to the press if need be. I assume you and Justine will be using your own resources to check my background anyway, but if there's anything you want to know, feel free to ask. I don't usually bother trying to lie about anything when I live with a pack of weres."
