-It had been a couple of days since his arrival in the city of Khalo, three were still missing before his return to Celestia for the preparations. 
He bought the necessary for his laboratory, taking this opportunity to relax and spend the time at the tavern. The quality of the alcohol there never failed him.-

《Mh... That will be enough.》-Mumbling, he was writing on his diary, sipping from time to time some whiskey.-
Mary
**Walking into the tavern in Kahlo was a sigh of relief for Aerith. Sitting at the bar she noticed her target sitting next to a ginger haired man seemingly deep in his own thoughts writing in a journal** I guess I'll order a drink **She mumbled grabbing a waiters attention**
Megan
-The diary disappeared as he closed its pages, returning to drink while laying some other coins to the bartender, only gesturing with his head to grab some other glasses.
The man behind the counter looked at him-

《Again, mister Deroy?》He said as he was pouring the alcohol.

《Don't be so surprised, you know that I'm filling your pockets.》A cold reply as usual, but he didn't have any bad feeling for the old man. They knew each other long enough.

《Thank you.》The doctor replied again as the new whiskey was offered to him, leaving the bartender to his work with the other clients.
Mary
**The whiskey tasted good, looking over at the ginger I observed him.**
*He seems familiar, have I threatened him before?*
**I stared a little too long that I spilled some whiskey on myself**
Shit-
Megan
-Although he was busy drinking, he could perceive a familiar, and not surprisingly, feeling: being observed. 
She looked slightly, noticing a young woman who seemed particularly too curious, until her alcohol spilled on her robes. 
Once again, his good manners led him to offer a hanky made of tissue.-

《Curiosity killed the cat, or overturned whiskey.》
Mary
**Embarrassed she panicked until a hanky was passed to her, looking up she saw the man she had previously been gawking at holding it out**
Oh thank you **She mumbled blushing slightly as she accepted the hanky and cleaned up the alcohol**

I'm so sorry I bothered you sir
Megan
-He nodded slightly with his head, keeping his gaze on the woman, as if to study her carefully.-

《You didn't, miss. Were you supposed to ask me something?》

-There was always a reason when it was observed for a long time, by now it almost didn't bother him anymore because of the force of the habit.-
Mary
**Placing the hanky on the counter she glances around her eyes narrowed** *Shit I lost him*

I was wondering if we had met before, you seem quite familiar to me. **She smiled gently and sipped her drink again**
Megan
-As he was mantaining his sharp gaze at her, could notice that her attention, for a moment, was elsewhere. Like she was searching for something, or someone.-

《I can assure you we never met. I have quite a good memory when meeting people, especially with my patients.》

-He calmly replied, taking the hanky and laying it inside of his pocket.-

《But I might be wrong. If we've ever met, even accidentally, reminding me would be good enough.》
Mary
Hmm, I suppose I understand that. You and I seem like highly observant people considering you've been looking at me like a fairy you're dissecting since I spilled my whiskey **She turned her narrowed gaze back to his cold one smiling briefly**
Megan
《Just like you were looking at me before that spilled whiskey. I could recognize that kind of look anywhere.》

-When she compared his observant trait to the one in the meanwhile of dissecting a fairy, he could only suppress a sinister smile by continuing to drink.-

《I'm sure you weren't here to book a doctor's appointment, but I'm not meddling in other people's business, lucky for you.》
Mary
**Stiffening she took another swig of her whiskey** Oh so that's who you are. You're Alexander Deroy. Also known as the "Sinister Surgeon". Youre all the fame right now. **She glanced around once more looking for her target as she spoke**

**She dropped her gaze to her ring** I suppose you haven't heard of me due to your, protective circle in the upper class
Megan
《I see my reputation is not lacking here in Kahlo either.》

-He replied, sipping his whiskey as he listened to the girl patiently, but at her last sentence, he suddenly stopped.-

《The upper class _thinks_ they have protection. I mind my business.》

-His tone seemed more cold for a moment, sharp and straight to the point. Sincerity was never a problem for him with certain topics.-

《How should I call you, miss...?》
Mary
**Startled by the quick shift in tone her eyes snapped to his** My name is Aerith, miss is not necessary. **She fidgeted with her ring and glanced around anxiety an underlying tone in her body language**
Megan
《As you wish, Aerith.》

-Noticing the movement of her hands and eyes, the anxiety was slowly taking over. Constantly searching for what was lost.-

《Whoever you were searching for, is outside. "I don't know and didn't see anything".》

-His gaze was still on her as he pronounced those words, finishing his glass and laying it on the counter.-

《How much is important?》
Mary
**Meeting his gaze she nodded** Thank you Mister Deroy. The help is appreciated, but I do wonder why? **She glanced at his pocket which held the hanky** And what do you mean "How much is important"?
Megan
《No need to thank me. After all, I have those titles for a reason.》

-He looked at his own reflection on the glass, tapping gently a finger on the sourface of it.-

《Why? I don't know, maybe I have just a good day to be that generous. The meaning of my question? I can smell your anxiety from here.》
Mary
**Glancing at the window she saw her target again**
I have unfinished business, and I don't mean to be anxious. But if I don't get this job done I'm dead meat **She gritted through her teeth as she ordered another glass of whiskey**
Megan
《I see. Well, I will not interrupt further.》

-He pointed his gaze at the window, looking at the target she was looking for, the one that was sitting near him earlier.-

《A lady has enough persuasion to make fall all the fools. "Dead meat" Not.》

-It was more of a suggestion, wasn't something new for him to see assassins, but his curiosity made him wonder why she wasn't taking action.-
Mary
**Looking at the ginger once more she finished her drink and stood up** I quite enjoyed our chat Deroy. Thanks for the help too, twas very much appreciated. **She smirked and mocked a bowing gesture before making her way towards the back door**
Megan
-Nodded his head towards her, returning to his original business: drinking and observing what Kahlo had to offer to him while being there.
Firstly, he met the fairy hunter, and then, that young assassin. 
One would say not the best of encounters, but, for him, it was good enough. After all, he wasn't that good too.-
Rana
