I suppose you could call it a cover identity for an intelligence group. I am going to assume they have told you or perhaps 'warned' you about the X-Men? We are not the X-Men.
Trying to explain this formal language is not easy. Bother that.
We are spies.

Well, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have expected that. They mentioned the X-Men, yeah.
So really, is the fancy coffee fetish a French thing?

Sometimes it is easier to just explain in small words.
No, it is a "I do not like the way American coffee tastes and so I hide it in mounds of sugar and milk" and if I am going to have to do that I may as well be creative, no?

I like small words. They make sense in ways big words don't.
Valid point, I suppose. What kind of coffee do you like?

So it would not have been nearly as helpful if I had described my job as international woman of mystery?
To be accurate, there are kinds even from America I do not mind but I prefer to not have the drip coffee kind, and also the ridiculous coffee drinks are fun.

I thought have imagined you wearing a lot of fedoras and trilbys and trench coats. Possibly like Carmen Sandiago. I wouldn't have had a problem with that image at all.
I think we should go out for coffee just so I can see you actually order one of these things.

I do not have any of those. Wanda has both a Carmen Sandiego hat and a trench coat, but I do not have either.
I think that would be a very good idea.

Are they just not your style?
I'll plan on kidnapping you at some point, then.

I tend to not wear long jackets because if I do, I am a song by Cake.
Can you kidnap the willing?

Because you wear short skirts? I have yet to see a short skirt. I feel deprived.
Possibly. We should try it, just to make sure.

I was not going to wear a skirt on the day I had an MRI. The MRI tube is chilly. I will make sure to wear one on whichever day you intend to kidnap me for coffee.
