[QUOTE="El Jefe, post: 2989702, member: 19990"] Avatar cracked a smile, his lips the only part of it visible under his mask. It was a smile he'd practiced, that of a bureaucrat who had stayed up half the night researching something in hopes of impressing his boss, only to have just the perfect moment to spring it during the big meeting the next day. It was the smile that bureaucrat would have one moment after the startled expression appeared on his superior's face, the expression that said "[I]that Johnson kid really knows his stuff[/I]" and the slight smile that whispered back, "[I]You betcha I do![/I]" [COLOR=SandyBrown]"Our intelligence arm is very good"[/COLOR], he replied, playing that little smile. Avatar studied the young lady. Had she seen him before? Would she recognize his voice? A face in the crowd at one of his lectures, maybe? He decided not. He had a memory for faces, especially pretty ones. Regardless, it was a good time to change the subject. [COLOR=SandyBrown]"But Dr."[/COLOR], he continued, using the title as if it was her first name, [COLOR=SandyBrown]"could you elaborate a bit on the supposed powers of the...Four Great Treasures. If some nutcase like this...Dr. Dawson is behind this, it might give us some idea as to his motive...what he hopes to accomplish."[/COLOR] Avatar was careful to put the pauses in just the right places, and to pause just enough at each one.
