Depends what you're looking for." Billy said. "Might take a bit of time if you're wanting something specific."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Fang explained what she was looking for—hermetic study materials for the spell Increase Reflexes.  She stayed close, ready to chip in on the legwork if Billy didn't tell her to give him some space.<br/><br/>By the time they were on their way to meet this yakuza, it was in the mail.<br/><br/>Entering the restaurant, Fang of the Ouroborus hesitated as she approached the boss.  The African-American girl touched her cowboy hat awkward.  When meeting important Japaneses people—or going to those teas her father sent her to learn the etiquette—she'd never worn a hat!<br/><br/>Fang pulled it off and held it over her waist.  She was relieved that this place wasn't nice enough—or Japanese enough—that she had to take off her boots.  It took her almost five minutes this morning to get them on.<br/><br/>She was even more relieved that this wasn't    Masamune's gang--though she hoped the got along.  She didn't think even Kyou would be fondling her in front of his boss, but she knew she'd blush if she just saw him...<br/><br/>And there was another man here tonight she'd rather blush for.<br/><br/>“Konbanwa, Mano-Oyabun” she said with a polite bow that would have been more properly delivered if she weren't holding her hat.  The subtitles were simply, 'Good evening, Mr. Mano,” though that particular 'Mister' was explicitly reserved for Mano's position and profession.<br/><br/>Liquid black eyes lit up at the cheese.  “I am called Fang of the Ourborus and I am humbled by your hospitality.  “Your men were clearly not out for blood.  My friends and I would not be so disgraceful as to spill theirs.”<br/><br/>Fang accepted the seat and took a few moments to savor the Oyabun's hospitality.<br/><br/>After a few moments of savoring the product of honest to Kami-sama dairy cows, their host turned the discussion to business.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=338476.msg16130696#msg16130696">Quote from: Angie on 09-03-2022, 02:37:36</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Ms. Fang." He continued. "My business here tonight primarily concerns you, yourself. And the manner of an outstanding debt." Pre-emptively, he held up a hand, asking her to remain silent for now. "I have no intention of forcing you to pay for it right now. In fact, I do not intend for your repayment to involve money at all. I believe we can enter into a mutually beneficial arrangement. You, myself, and your companions here." He said. "You may consider me your Mr. Johnson for the evening. I have a job that requires the use of deniable assets such as yourselves. I can tell you that using my own men for this task would be ill received by the Vory families, despite the objective being the purchase of a small lockbox. We would be more than willing to cover the cost, or reimburse as needed, we simply cannot be direct as we like. If you will agree to the job, we can discuss more...specifics."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Fang licked a crumb of cheddar off of her lip as she considered carefully.  “Do I understand correctly that you've perched my debt from the Masamune Oyabun?”<br/><br/>Once she had confirmation Fang relaxed a lot.  It would be a lot easier to get Kyou's hands of her if he wasn't her debt collector.  The man had a slow hand, but she at least wanted the option...<br/><br/>After a moment more, Fang inclined her head, “I am open to this job.  I am still too new to this team to ask them to work off my debt,<em>Oyabuun</em>.  Is it acceptable if you negotiate the fee with them and take my share out of my debt?”<br/><br/>
