“ Have you taken a job as a nanny before? “ Maria asked as she got up to pour herself a cup of tea. She placed a cup in front of the potential employee and held up the pot. “ Would you care for some? “ she asked gently before slipping back into her spot across from the other. “ I must warn you beforehand, this job won’t be an easy one but I’m sure you were aware of that already before responding. “ She added with a sheepish laugh. “ I do sincerely appreciate your interest in the job though. I can’t tell you how hard it was finding even one person to take the offer when they heard how many children they’d be watching. “ she advised. With six boys between the ages of Twelve and three it was only natural that the position would require someone with a great amount of patience and understanding. She loved her children more than anything in the world but she’d be lying if she said they were always well mannered and cooperative. As she took another sip from her cup, she redirected her focus on to the other. “ Enough about all that though, why don’t you tell me about yourself? “ 

“i heard you were putting your nose where it doesn’t belong — is that true?” daishin asked smoothly, tone even yet slightly curious as he eyed the other. the other had been escorted into the room by a few bouncers, the music from the club below still audible despite the measurements put in place to soundproof it. luckily, all that mattered was stopping sound from leaving the room. smoke wafted into the air as shin took one last drag of his cigarette, snuffing it out and standing to approach the newcomer. there was an obvious gleam of interest in his eyes despite the smug smile adorning his lips. “i want to give you the benefit of the doubt — you were only looking around because you were looking for a job, right? you weren’t trying to do any sort of idiotic moral duty, were you?” the questions were posed more as strong suggestions than anything else.

After being cornered and brought into the room, it had become abundantly clear to Lucy that she had hadn’t acquired the skill of sleuth, like her twin brother. Truthfully her reasoning was much more personal, something she was sure he wouldn’t understand. She had been trying to find someone who possibly knew her father, who could help her find out who she truly was. It wasn’t like she would get answers from anyone else around her and Huckley was just as much in the dark as she was. She only had one choice but to try and find answers herself. A plan which appeared to be throated when she was caught by the other. “ No, listen It’s not like that it’s just.. “ she began before giving up with a sigh. “ I was just trying to find answers, “ she paused before quickly adding. “ Answers about me..! “ With a frown she attempted to articulate her intentions in the most through way possible. “ Look, I don’t know my father... everyone refuses to tell me anything and the only thing I know was that he was a very bad man one that a lot of people knew about and I was hoping to find someone who could give me answers. “ she explained. 

kazuya had managed to sneak out of the party in order to take care of some business undetected — the only indication that anything had happened were the small cuts to his cheek and the passage of time. but, considering he was sure no one would notice his absence, he wasn’t too worried about questions. however, as they rejoined the crowded party and enjoyed a few drinks, he noticed a few spots of blood on his sleeve. “shit — “ he said softly as he rubbed at the offending stain, no amount of friction causing it to disappear. “hey, you may or may not look like you know how to deal with blood — do you know how to get this out? i love this shirt,” he said, almost pouting. it was hard to find reasonably nice shirts.

Odette hardly fit in with the others at the party, a tell tale sign by the way she hung to the back of the room. As the stranger spoke to her, the blonde’s attention was quickly drawn to them. He was the first person who had spoken to her the entire time she had been there. Biting on to her bottom she shook her head honestly. “ Oh I... “ the blonde blinked in surprise at the state the other appeared to be in. The question only further perplexed Odette, she didn’t look that clumsy did she? “ I’m afraid I do not, but I heard cold water tends to help the blood not set in “ she replied while looking for somewhere she could find any. “ Perhaps we can slip into the kitchen without anyone noticing. “ she thought aloud, before turning back to them. “ Forgive me for asking, and I don’t meant to sound nosy but is this a common occurrence for you? “ she asked, without a hint of judgement in her tone.
