~Little Lady~
The nickname never bothered her.
Oh, she teased him plenty about it in company and out of.
But always in secret, she wondered the reason for it...

"Say, Nagira?"
They had met by chance, he at the bar ordering a late drink and she on reconnaissance for Solomon. No one from the STN-J knew she had arrived back in Japan. She wished to keep it that way.
"Hmm, little lady?" he stirred his drink, the chink of the tiny crystalline cubes taking her back to another time. Robin...she smiled slightly, her gaze lowered. "Oh, nothing. I just always wondered why you called me that. That's all." Yurika sighed in affected nonchalance, reaching for her glass. His hand on hers made her stop and glance curiously into the shady Lawyer's face.
Nagira was smiling, "you really want to know?"
Yurika felt herself smile teasingly in response, "yeah, I do, big guy."
Slowly he leaned toward her, whispering softly so that the bartender Harry might not hear.
"Because you were always my little lady, Yurika."

Note: the first part is pre factory, the second half is post, it being at least a year or two passing and also Dojima leaving STN-J shortly after the collapse of the factory. :) implied NxD.
