An eyebrow raised in confusion. Had she figured out what he was doing without even turning around? An interesting one indeed. While he had seen where many women could detect things a man couldnt, he just couldnt believe it had happened to him.
"HaHa!" he laughed, trying to cover his actions. "What do you think I was doing? I was just admiring the view of your lovely city!"
'Lovely...city...?' he thought to himself. 'Could you get any more corny?'

She looked back over her shoulder briefly

"Dont really have one. Just call me Rex."
His face lost emotion upon saying that name. That was the name given to him by a client he failed to protect. The youth, only about 16, was taken in his prime by a vampire. The fiend's sick sense of humor was to turn the boy and then have him go after Rex. Fortunately, even as a vampire the boy was still weak and Rex had no choice but to cut him down.
Luna Rex. The name scribbled under a picture on that boy's T-shirt. A name used to remind him of what the price of failure is.
"So then beautiful. Just what would be your name?"
His tone was more a playful/sarcastic one, clearly indicating no advances.

She sensed sorrow in him. And looked at her feet for a second.
"I'm Nikkita... Nikkita Vaelio"
She stopped infront of a gated door. She pulled back the gate and forced the door open.
"We're here" she smirked

"Nice name," he said while turning his head to the right to watch some people pass by. These didnt exactly seem like regular people. Pale skin and piercing black eyes gave him the chills by just watching them.
He had hardly even noticed that she had stopped when he bumped into her from behind and stumbled back. Reflexes forced his hand unto the handle of his right gun when he moved back but he quickly released and let out a sigh.
"Sorry about that. I wasn't paying attention."
He looked up at the door and tilted his head to the right for a second then straightened up. She lived here? It just seemed so strange for a door to have a gate attached.
"Well milady," he began, extending his left arm towards the door. "After you of course."

She watched him carefully. Then entered into the barely lit entrance hall. Almost instinctively she made her way to the steps.
"Its quite a climb from here, i live on the top floor."
She looked at him through the darkness.

He followed her and stooped for a moment at the bottom of the stairs. She wasnt kidding, it really was a long way up. With a sigh, he reluctantly began his climb towards her apartment, keepint a few steps behind her so as to avoid bumping into her again.
"Well Nikkita, how far are we from your place?"

"umm..." she laughed to herself slightly. "we have about 3 more floors, but it shouldn't be that bad for you, i mean you seem to be in pretty good shape."
She smirked

Pretty good shape. If only that were the case. Dragging around an eight pound overcoat, two guns weighing two pounds each, and wearing heavy boots; he was at his limit 3 minutes ago.
"Yeah sure," he puffed while forcing himself to continue. "This isnt even a workout for me."

She smirked. Somehow she found some twisted pleasure in tormenting people. But she did feel a bit sorry for him. She wasn't use to this climb either, normally she just jumped up, but not wanted him to know what she was.
"Finally..." she breathed... "we're here... "
she opened the door.

Rex finally managed to pull his mostly worn body up the last three steps and collapsed right infront of the door. He huffed and wheezed for a while then struggled to his feet with the assistance of the guard railings.
"This--How do you do this?"
He stumbled forward and leaned against the doorpost to try and regain some strength.
"Well now that were here, could you please hurry and get ready? I dont want to miss that jerkof."

"I manage..."
She walked over to the far side of the room and drew back a long set of drapes revealing and spectacular view of the city.
"Make yourself at home, this shouldn't take too long.Oh you can have anything you want out of the kitchen if you should so choose."
She walked down a hallway opposite the front door and into the last room at the end. She shut the door behind her, but it didn't close all the way, leaving a small sliver where it was possible to veiw into her room. A dim light lit the room and her soft figure appeared as a silouette against it. She moved around gracefully changing into something a bit more conservative. She let her long hair fall down out of the clip she messily held in up with. Her hair fell to the middle of her back in wavy deep red locks. She ran her hand through it once.

Pushing himself up from the wall, he sauntered in. The apartment looked to be fairly average except for the view. His eyes scanned the furniture and the entire living room for a few moments before he walked towards the window and looked out. Down below, cars stormed by on the busy streets and he observed the intricate movements of the pedestrians going about their business.
Bored of the view, he silently made his way back to the centre of the room and unsheathed his katana and held it straight out. The 4 and a half foot blade glistened in the rooms artificial light and he swung it around himself as if attempting to cut someone behind him. He immidiately stepped back and swung around with even more force, jumping and panicking after knocking over a porcelian vase and smashing it.
'I'm so dead,' he thought as he stared down at the precious piece of art.
Looking towards the window, a smile came over his face and he slowly re-sheathed his weapon and walked over to it.
'Maybe...'
He quickly parted the blinds and opened the window, allowing the heavy wind to blow in freely and smirked at his achievement. He didnt break the vase, the wind blew it off! Looking around to make sure she didnt see him, he walked towards the entrance to the hallway and watched her silouette against the wall then called out to her.
"Ready yet?"

"just about."
She walked out of her room wearing a form fitting crimson red tank top,with a light jacket over it, a pair of black jeans, and a pair of boots. She was putting her katana back at her side when she walked out into the living room.
Thats when she noticed the vase. She looked at him for a second then picked up the broken pieces and set them on the counter.
"hm, oh well... i guess it was the wind." she glanced at the window and gave him a devious smile.
"Well let's get going. i have an idea where this guy might be."
She walked out onto her rooftop balcony.

He smiled back nervously after hearing her remark about the wind and folded his arms.
"Yeah," he said. "The wind does seem to be pretty strong tonight."
He nodded after hearing her comment about the man and followed her eagerly to the balcony, still staying behind her as he walked to enjoy the view once again.
