The subtle approach

Grace - Balance - Strength.

These are core skills for infiltrators: The ability to move over obstacles, quickly, with dexterity and without puncturing your stealth suit. The ability to hold yourself tight in narrow places and without the slightest struggle. Surely these would be enough to impress anyone and you feel multiple sets of eyes watching you through glimpses in the mirror.

The exercises conclude and you meditate briefly. Another key skill of an infiltrator is the ability to keep calm under any circumstance.

As you are coming out of your light meditation, you see the target walk by and sit on an adjacent sofa. You finish off and get up when the director raises his hand to get your attention.

"Excuse me, Celeste. My apologies for the direct approach, but I was really impressed with those yoga exercises of yours," he said with a small crook to the corner of his mouth. "You were lean, like a pussycat, and I wanted to see if I could interest you in a business opportunity."

"I’m guessing you got my name from reception," you say while holding his gaze and smiling. "You wouldn’t happen to be the owner, would you? The answer to your question is yes. I am interested in potential offers from Shebo's."

The Shebo Director lets out a bellowing laugh. "So this was for my benefit then?" he asks still returning to his cool demeanor. "I like your style and approach, Celeste. Go and see the receptionist on your way out and she will schedule you for a proper assessment. I will see you then."
