Bianchi's fingers paused when she heard her name and she clicked some buttons before shutting the computer and looking up. The girl she saw was clean cut, if a little timid looking. And she looked much older than even Bianchi (who was rather young for the age she acted).

Bianchi uncrossed her legs and stood holding her hands out in a welcoming gesture. "Miranda, thank you for taking time to come." She was actually a little surprised not to see Hayato trailing along behind with a stomach virus demanding she treat his woman well.

Bianchi leaned in and kissed Miranda's cheeks in a very Italian gesture before stepping back to look at her intently.
