Toshimi's eyes lingered on Maggie when she introduced herself. Her lips pressed together, pursing slightly, in a gesture some at the table might know to be curiosity. The Black Dragon was big business and before her 'unfortunate demise' she had handled a couple contracts for them. Maggie's reputation did precede her though she had no idea what such a ranking member of the criminal organization would be doing here or talking to Cain for that matter. the joys of just sitting down and interrupting, she guessed. You never knew what you were going to get in the middle of.<span style="color: #ff0080"> "My name is Toshimi... well not actually, but that's about as close as a human tongue would get to it. And my my, the Black Dragon. Then you are definitely slumming it. Unless you have come to swat a certain little pest... In which case do let me watch. Or help... you know, whichever strikes your fancy."</span><br/><br/><br/>Again her large eyes flicked to Cain and the tendrils hanging from her head shivered in much the way a rattlesnake's tail did to warn potential predators to back off. The smirk grew on the alien woman's face at seeing Cain so dumbfounded. It was a rare -rare- thing for Inviere Cain to be completely lost for words. Usually the woman would not shut up. She even talked in her sleep. the power she felt over her former lover in that moment was simply amazing. The smile, baring those slightly pointed teeth was back and Toshimi opened her mouth to speak but paused to take in the breaking news coming in off of the vid screens. A low, musical whistle slipped from The green assassin while she watched the second series of explosions utterly ravage the ship. She had always found explosions to be as pretty as they were destruction but catching Maggie's reaction she had to bite back a laugh. Even if she had no idea that Maggie had put that all in motion, she would have guessed it by the way the woman reacted.<span style="color: #ff0080">"Well, that happened."</span>She said matter-of-factly.<br/><br/><br/>Keeping her eye on Maggie because, frankly, the woman was certainly fun to watch Toshimi returned to glaring at Cain and again opened her mouth to speak only to once again be interrupted when a sturdy bottle crashed against the table. White and red swirled across her markings mingling to pink for a second, a mix of surprise at the rather violent introduction and anger at yet another interruption. She eyes up the AI while it suggested that they not make trouble. Toshimi's eyes scanned over the Ai's chassis... looked like either a Mark III or IV model, but with some clear upgrades. All of the structural weak points had been reinforced meaning that taking the robot apart would be more trouble than it was worth even if it might be fun to see to reaction of the patrons.<span style="color: #ff0080"> "Now now, calm down Sparky before you pop a capacitor. Us ladies are just talking, no need to have a tantrum. You just go run along and deal with your problem and we will handle ours. Right Cain?"</span>Even saying the name made her angry and she heard Cain babble rather nonsensically in response.<br/><br/><br/>Out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of Li Li glaring daggers at her. What bull shit story had Cain told her that made this all her fault in the little slave's eyes. Violet eyes that were now widening and crackling with the telltale signs of psionic energy. A twitch in her cheek was the only reaction that she gave. If Li LI tried to hurt her by rooting around in her mind, she would see what happened that day and she would know that whatever Inviere had told her was a lie. That was worth pain to her. She saw Li Li stop herself and saw what was happening. The stupid girl still had not learned to control herself fully especially when she was mad. Even watching the blood start to drip from her nose, Toshimi forced herself to stillness. Even when she slumped to the floor Toshimi forced herself to remain unmoving, uncaring. She made herself ignore the gnawing worry over someone that used to be more than a friend to her.<span style="color: #ff0080"> "Geez Cain, seems like all your lovers just end up on the ground bleeding. You should really try to figure out why that is."</span>the words were hissed with all the venom the green-skinned merc could muster. Flicking eye gaze to the AI standing at the table still, she said in a tone one usually reserved for something completely inconsequential.<span style="color: #ff0080">"Looks like we might need that gurney you mentioned after all."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
