She'll be content to read until shortly before their boarding time unless he interrupts her. Reading doesn't have the usual activity level she prefers, especially right before being forced to sit still for who knows how long, but there's not exactly a gym nearby or a place to jog. It'll have to do to keep her busy.

She checks the time before slipping her book back into her bag and nudging him with her foot to get his attention. "Got everything you need for the flight?"

"And then we can hit the ground running." She takes a moment to stretch herself before getting in line. Her bag is shoved into the overhead compartment and she takes a seat by with a few items from it to keep herself entertained for the trip.

"So, I've seen you in action in the field. What does your sister specialize in?"

That kind of mentality had a time and a place in their line of work, although it could easily make jobs more messy than they needed to be. "And you don't work with her anymore?"

She nods and leans back in her seat. "Family business? Or just the two of you? When she's working, that is."

"I've got a similar background. You make a lot more money working in the private sector and we - I," she corrects quickly, "Needed it." There had been a lot of factors that went into her swapping careers.

"The only part that sucks are the health benefits, but at least I can afford the bills," she jokes lightly.

"A partner, yeah, just not in this line of work." Calm, cool. That's what she needs to be right now. She takes a deep breath before she continues speaking, the next words always the hardest when someone asks. "Husband. He died a year ago."

Her gaze shifts to look out the window. "It's been a while and won't be an issue." Just in case he thinks the emotional baggage will be a hindrance. It weighs on her minds at times, but never on a job.

"I've put the work in, so I'd hope so." Topic change time. She is not spending an entire four-hour flight living in the past. "So, do you spend most of your off-time in Austin at the place you rent?"
ghostthatlingers: (Human 27)

She smirks slightly at that. "I meant, do you go to stay in other cities? Besides for work."

"Can't say I've been there except to work. Maybe I'll have to take a vacation sometime."
ghostthatlingers: (These are my idiots)

[personal profile] ghostthatlingers 2014-10-08 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"I've been keeping myself busy," she replies, guarded. "It's a good way to spend my time."

[personal profile] ghostthatlingers 2014-10-08 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"For the same reasons, I'm sure." Dry sarcasm at its finest and she has to reel in those off-the-cuff remarks. She doesn't know him that well, so who knows how he'll take it. "It's just how our line of work goes."
