Showing weakness wasn’t part of the protocol either, particularly when talking to someone she’d hired to do a job, and would probably hire again. Part of the game of being a "Mr. Johnson"—one who hires shadowrunners to operate in the dark wainscoting of society—was maintaining an ice-cold façade. (Not always possible, of course, but definitely something to aim for.) She shifted in her chair, trying for a more comfortable position, then stretched a mild kink out of her spine.
