" Stop it. I'll tell you here and now, anything I do with men is strictly business. That's all."
Yukimi wasn't used to complements and loathed things she had never gotten used to."Ah..back to the meal... I don't care.. as long as it isn't alcoholic. I rarely drink. I should be alert since I get ambushed a lot of the time by the family members of my victims. It should be hot though.. perhaps the same as what ever you order then.."
Why is he acting so nice? She thought to herself.

"As you wish, I'll not bring it up again. Now as to our meal I'll order for both of us then." The Jack turned to the waitress and ordered two hot cooked chickens and two glasses of water for them before turning back to Yukimi with a serious expression on his face.
"Now as to the first order of business. A trader sent me a message in my home of the Silver City and requested my help in finding and securing the release of his daughter who was taken by a Tamer who resides somewhere in this city. Since I'd prefer to do this sooner rather than later I would like to hire you to assist me. Ah thank you." He broke off as their food arrived with a mouth watering smell of freshly roasted chicken.

[Pure Havoc] Havoc held out his and shook her hand. "I'm Havoc, nice to meet you, Tempest. What part of Gaia are you from?" Tempest shrugged, "Here and there, I never really stuck anywhere, merely traveled around." she murmured. "That explains why I'm here..." she muttered as she pushed her white hair behind pointed ears.

"Same here..I'm just a loner." He scratched the back of his head, thinking of something to say. His mind would always shut down when he was talking to girls.

She smiled as once again she scratched at the lumps between her shoulder blades. They were quite annoying. "Anyway, you were looking for a weapon's smith right?"

Havoc looked up and smiled, "Yes I was." He had finally gotten help. It made him feel like celebrating.

"Common then, I think I can help you." she muttered, holding out a hand. She took his hand and started into the crowd, her emerald eyes darting around as she weaved in and out of the people. On her back, just between her shoulderblades there were a pair of long, jagged rips in her skin, but it looked as if she hadn't noticed them, other then when she was scratching. Just below the skin, there were rows of white, feathery scales visible.

Yukimi picked up a single silver chopstick and put it in everything on her side of the table.
" Anything silver turns black if it has been in contact with most poisons. I test everything I eat.. If I can think of it, so I didn't do it before when I received food from you because I didn't have the energy.."
She said, not caring if he heard her or not.
" About that job.. How much gold is it? If you offer to pay me half of it up front then I
will have a good chance of doing it."

"Half up front sounds reasonable. And the job is simple, help me locate the home of the right Tamer and make sure he never dares do it again. He should have the girl nearby as he won't have had a chance to break her or sell her yet thankfully. The other half you'll get when she's safe back at the Silver City. Here."
The Jack pulled out the golden coins again and counted out twenty or so, sliding them across the table to Yukimi with a small smile. The amount was equal to more than most people would make in a year around here which should be more than enough for half her fee, but he wanted to secure her so could afford to be generous.
"I'd prefer to get started as fast as possible but I will understand if you need to get supplies or anything similar first, and I hear the bath house here is second to none so if you'll excuse me I'll put a test to that statement and meet up with you here again in an hour or so if that suits you?"
Finishing the bite of food he was holding, The Jack extended a hand to Yukimi in an offer of contract.

" That's alright, I'll meet you here then. I'll bring the girl to Silver City.
I have everything I need."
Yukimi took the gold and got ready to wait at the table for an hour. As she didn't know the way around and thought it best to stay there.
She's nearby.. It shouldn't be difficult. I wonder where.. I forgot something. I should ask him before I see him again..
" Wait a second, what is your job? I have a right to know if I'm doing this search and rescue mission for you!"
Yukimi said as The Jack was going to go. She hoped he would say it.

The Jack paused on his way to the door and looked back at the woman with a grin, wondering if he should tell her.
But how exactly do you tell someone your a behind the scenes puppeteer that controls a large chunk of all the trade flowing from the Silver City? Could be a little awkward even to an assasin...
He moved back towards her and rummaged in his backpack again before revealing a small piece of paper with an address and a laughing Joker on it. He looked at it for a moment with an un-readable expression on his face before sliding it across the table to the woman with a slowness that was almost reluctance.
"Here, come to this address in the Silver City when your done. I'll meet you there and we'll talk further, don't worry I'll know as soon as your back. And I guess you could say that I'm in the business industry."
With a soft laugh he turned and headed for the door before disappearing into the shadows of the back alleys nearby. He was confident that the woman could do the job and with this in mind he set off back towards the Silver City and his home.

" Ok..Business huh? "
I hope it's not some prostitute business..
Yukimi thought.
She distusted men ever since.. well that's for another time.
She got up and began leaving for Silver City.
She left the city she came to , with no food and lost , leaving for Silver City.

Kyo entered the great City of Algulu, gazing at the incredible built structures and cobble stone roads he wonder to himself who built this city, "The ones to whom built this must have been true masters of their craft, and the details in which the sculpted this city must have taken long hours to perfect."

Havoc let her lead him to the weaponsmith. He took notice of the feathery scales. Are those wings? , he thought as he was lead thro ugh the crowd.

She stopped infront of a smithy, "Here we are." she murmured. "I wonder if they could fix my blade...." she pulled a katana out of her sleeve and looked at it sadly.
