It's all in the eyes. Along with picking handcuffs, vaulting1 Jersey2 barriers, and fending3 off perverts4, it is one of the quintessential Kourier skills: walking around in a place where you don't belong without attracting suspicion. And you do it by not looking at anyone. Keep those eyes straight ahead no matter what, don't open them too wide, don't look tense. That, and the fact that she just came in here with a guy that everyone is scared of, gets her back through the containership to the reception area.
"I need to use a Street terminal," she says to the reception guy. "Can you charge it to my room?"
"Yes, ma'am," the reception guy says. He doesn't have to ask which room she's in. He's all smiles, all respect. Not the kind of thing you get very often when you're a Kourier.
She could really get to like this relationship with Raven5, if it weren't for the fact that he's a homicidal mutant.
