She wasn't picked as an undercover agent because she was an idiot.
She was skilled in battle, better than those morons wasting bullets in the front lines, and she was smart enough to know how to stay out of trouble and out of sight.
Her latest assignment, however, was testing the limits of her patience. True, the blue-haired girl is a Whispered, and thus holds more knowledge than the Mithril agent could ever know. But then, the Intelligence Division officer wouldn't be assigned to this duty if her commander didn't think she could handle it.
No matter, Wraith thought, snorting, if it's a battle of wits this little girl wants, it's a battle of wits she would get. I never lose.
"Do you like being a man?
The said "man" blinked. This was unexpected. What could she answer to that…?
The oblivious long-haired girl continued. "I mean, wouldn't it make you look more suspicious looking like that? Especially with that damn trenchcoat, which, I can tell you is a well-known stereotypical outfit for evil stalker kind of people. Or is there something you aren't telling us?"
An eyebrow twitched at the implied insult. She may dress like a man, and like it sometimes to because it keeps people from staying too long… but
"I'm not gay" was the undercover agent's immediate reply.
Kaname grinned "I never said you were"
She lost.
"You don't deserve to be alone Wraith"
This girl, with her odd smile and irritating comments, could always show her how much she still has to go through in life.

Author's Notes: A companion drabble to my currently ongoing FMP fanfiction, "Save Me." True, Wraith's appearance in the Second Raid was limited, but that just inspires me more to work and build on her character.
