[ "Mrs. Elena McClain," on the other hand, sits stoically beside her blushing bride of a husband. She appears to be the more level-headed one of the couple (perhaps balancing Mr. McClain's enthusiasm), and this relative calmness is emphasized by the way her face is almost completely obscured by a deep hood. Kasumi is wearing a somewhat flowy, robe-like hooded garment over her usual attire, allowing her a more civilian appearance to go undercover with while having the advantages of her suit in case things go south. There was no denying, after all, that her normal appearance would garner probably unwanted attention in a dubious sanctuary like Refuge.
As is her protocol for undercover jobs, she's come up with elaborate backgrounds. Mrs. Elena McClain (née Gunn) is the daughter of a self-made tycoon whose fortune comes from owning massive deposits and mines of Element Zero in the Terminus Systems. She was born with a rare condition that made her skin extremely sensitive to direct exposure (hence the hood) and Mr. Gunn, her father, accordingly kept her isolated. James McClain is an ambitious and savvy businessman for a trading company with long-standing relations with Mr. Gunn's Eezo business. He and his future wife met at a consequence of a business function and the rest is history.
All of this information was, of course, irrelevant to the actual mission at hand, which was to get to the bottom of the mystery shrouding Refuge without stirring things up. Kasumi mostly just had some fun thinking it all up. Plus, it gave them a more believable reason for her to be as covered-up as she was than "she's just really shy," in the event that her appearance would continue to stir suspicion.
In any case, Mrs. McClain looks up at her oh-so-loving husband, which is an "I adore you" gaze from Mrs. McClain but a "You are having way too much fun with this" look from Kasumi. ]
Why yes, darling. We certainly won't be running out of things to do, hmm?
