[It is, indeed, a very nice table -- Lane insists on only the finest for his office. Pao-Lin doesn't see what's so special about this particular table, but the two could use something better than their thrift store fold-out table in their Ourolounge. They could put their TV on it...! Well, if they could come get it back to HQ after everything was said and done.
At the moment, however, it's no play and all work. Ivan is in place as Lane's new meeting table. Pao-Lin has stuffed herself inside one of Lane's oversized cloisonne vases framing either side of his desk; fortunately for her, it turns out the man loves to show off his Sinophilia (even his new table features Chinese-style scrollwork and carvings). Unfortunately for her, even someone as flexible as this girl is finding the vase a rather uncomfortable fit. But there's nowhere else she could feasibly hide in the office. With the meeting being last-minute knowledge, having been discovered after their mission went live, there wasn't time to have someone from HQ drop off a bug. The only bugs in this room are the tiny dead ones in the vase that Pao-Lin's hiding in. Ewww.
There's a tense silence for a few minutes as the Ouroboros operatives wait for showtime. Then the office doors open, followed by the sound of footsteps hushed by plush carpet...]
