The portal system always bothered her a little bit. Not in whether she could trust Kanaya - she'd seen enough of her work over the years and spent long enough trading help with her to have about as much trust as she obtained in anyone. It was just always a little nerve wracking to step through an empty space and land somewhere out of her control.

Still, the result in this case tended to be very worth it, so today she was at the appointed place, insignificant and casually dressed, and when the time came she took the step forward without a backwards glance.

On the other side she took a slightly deeper than normal breath, offered Kanaya a nod and stepped forward to the table. Tea, of course. "How are you?" Pleasantries always seemed so trivial, but the trivial things helped.
