Lucinda was on about something in her head. That's why she was running a mile a minute. He'd ran down enough speeders and mad tweakers to know, even with he didn't know. That's why his rootwork of nerves and extra senses sprouted a fucking tree out of the top of his spine, reaching branches out in this air filled with premium treatment oil and new leather and old, cheap concrete. Wanted to envelop the girl in its crown of veiny leafs. Ah, he had no idea, but he already caught her. So he lingered when she boasted. But then, when she let him manhandle her just a little, something like an aria from his malicious subconscious monster reached through to his direct focus.<br/><br/>Why was she being like this? Her energy would usually be more-- casual. She was<i>saying</i>casual, sure, but it was selling something, the same way teens are when they're wearing baggy clothes that look a little too full, going out of the liquor store. Didn't have to be much, Lucie was a fucking criminal for crying out loud, but made him stuck on the thought a moment or two. Let her sweat a bit. It would end with him letting it go, letting her go; how could it not? Just thought he'd have a bit of extra fun, is all. Bi Hun was the kind of asshole who'd walk up from the river after having drowned a man to come across his unwitting widow, asking help to find him.<br/><br/>And if he didn't already suspect it, her little wing-act cemented it. He was hunting now. She'd pulled it out of him even if he hadn't meant to. Liked to see her sweat a bit, in her practical clothes. That was it, with Lucie. Always staying on his good side. She was always<i>handling </i>him, and even if he liked it, he also hated that she thought she had him where she liked him. Shouldn't be fixating on a two bit crook, especially when their relationship was so lucrative, but here he was, all wolf's blood. He shifted a bit without saying nothing about it, but maybe it was in his erupting aura or something. "Yeah, thanks for that." he said in his lead voice. For thinking of his timeliness. She even promised to get him that Xuy vs Kageyama info. Damn, she wanted him out of her quick, didn't she.<br/><br/>He wouldn't go.<br/><br/>Lifted a cigarette to his mouth from his pocket. Her spirits would drop when he was making like he was going to stay for a bit. But before he could even dream of a lighter, all Lucinda Clark's secrets came spilling out, with the announcement of a sweet voice. He gave the girl in boy's clothes a wide-eyed expression like<i>I fucking got you</i>and then turned in time to see the sweet little thing hurry between them. His cigarette dropped when his jaw did, but he caught it with scissoring fingers out of reflex. Now this was the real show. His lips sewed shut in a controlled grin while the thumbnail for an onlyfans publication played out right in front of him.<br/><br/>Implications were, Lucie had been protecting this girl from him. She looked familiar. Her features, especially set next to and very close to Lucie's... Ah, that was fucking right. Kim's daughter. "Wow, Lu." he said and swiped the cigarette behind his ear. It stuck there, along with the strands of hair he'd combed back in the same motion. "Princess of fucking New City here." he said. He towered over both of them, especially since lil ol' Lu was the tallest of the couple. "Well? Aren't you going to introduce us?" he asked and looked the girl up and down. "I mean, at least officially. Obviously I know who you are." he said, sickly sweet.
