"Yes, he did," Nakia says, strolling past T'Challa to offer her hand to Ross, her smile pleased and warm and bright. "Hello, Ross. Please forgive us; we were not sure you would join otherwise."
"I can take responsibility for my own actions, Nakia," T'Challa tells her, and she winks at Ross before stepping back, lifting her hands in a gesture that says very well; it's your funeral.
"I am sorry not to have been forthcoming," T'Challa tells the other man. "But as Nakia said, I was not sure you would come. And there is still one more for you to meet, but before I introduce you, I ask you to remember the good work we have done together and to trust that my judgment in this matter is sound... and final. This is not a matter for the Joint Terrorism Task Force. I come to you today as a friend asking for help, only."
