Who: Kalinda Sharma and various. Could be you!
What: A week in the life of an investigator doing surveillance.
Where: All over the city.
When: Any time!
Notes: I've got thread starters for Arthur and Steph, but all are welcome! The settings are flexible, so feel free to come up with whatever. I will roll with it!
Warnings: None as of yet.

Kalinda hasn't been getting near as much extra work as she would like. Rather, she isn't making as much money from her extra work as she would like. Money isn't tight, exactly, but it isn't as abundant as she's used to it being. So much of what she does is built on her image, and that image requires maintenance, that maintenance requires cash. She has a feeling her current assignment, which has had her running from one end of the city to the other, isn't going to result in her being paid the previously agreed upon amount, being as how it's not producing the result her client hoped for.

Fortunately, she took half up front.

Ariadne's idealism is as endearing as it is sickening in its saccharine sort of way. To Kalinda, at least, but she's admittedly more cynical than most. Idealism is something that others wear better than she does, in her opinion.

"You're not wrong there. And speaking of work, I should get back to it. It was nice meeting you. I'm sure I'll see you around, yeah?" She smiles with some warmth before she backs up a step and glances over her shoulder to make sure her mark has moved on.

"Ah, yeah, you too," Ariadne says, a little sheepish. She didn't mean to keep Kalinda from her very important job, after all.

"And, hey, if you ever find yourself in need of an architect, I offer good rates to people in the cohort." Her pitch is coming along nicely, if she says so herself.

Oh, she's positively precious. "Thanks. I'll keep you in mind." With a little wave, Kalinda turns to hurry off down the lane on her way to her next stop. When she gets far enough that she's out of sight, that's when she'll take out her notebook and make note of their conversation. There's something about Ariadne that Kalinda likes, a potential for something, and that's worth keeping an eye out for her.
