Lily set her empty glass down and standing and leaning foward to place her hands flat on the table before her."Look, you know my name and so I believed you would know anything else about me. Let's just say I'm a persuasive person, like Dodger."
The waitress came over and asked if everything is okay with Lily and if she would like another drink.
Standing straight, Lily looked at her menu,"Three mint teas, please." The waitress nodded as Lily give her payment for her food and their drinks. Once the waitress left, Lily stuffed her hands in pockets and settled down into a relaxed guy's posture. She waits patiently for Kyrin's reply, Jeez it's like talking to a rialed cat! She thought, then in a quieter mind voice, Look who's talking! patience Lily there's a reason you keep running in to this Lady from down under!

Kyrin smiled evenly, I do know everything else about you. She finished off Craig's orange juice before setting it down on the table. "A persuasive person like..." She stopped, "Dodger?" She looked over at Craig, "Dodger?" She repeated, "Where did she get that from? Sounds like an animal's name!" And with that Kyrin laughed, a genuinely amused laugh, and it was the first time that Lily had seen her not being serious. Laying her head on Craig's shoulder and laughing, she forgot that Lily was there. She looked up at Craig, "You are too much."
Craig grinned at Ky's change in mood and mocked a bow from his waist up. He then turned and looked at Lily, "So?" He asked, "Do you think she'll do?" He asked casually.

Lily sweat dropped but agree with Ky's animal comment, then taking the tea from the waitress she served them to the two people in front of her. Looking at her tea she sipped it savoryingly and smiled, Ky's laughter was contagious,"Nah, I gave that to him when he kept dodging my questions." She went to back to contently sipping her tea like a happy kitty with it's ears up and a tail waving playfully back and forth. She finished her drink and immediately ordered three more, cold this time, paying for them when she got them. She started to drink from these as she forgot her company. Mint tea, I love mint tea. She sang in her head happily.

Kyrin turned her attention back to Lily and stopped laughing, "Maybe," She said. Catching Lily's attention she asked, "Would you like to come back to the mansion with me, so we can talk?" Kyrin didn't fully trust Lily and wanted to test her abilities further. She could worry about the girl's attitide later, besides if Craig was around Lily seemed a lot calmer. It was an effect that he had on a lot of people, Kyrin included.

gak!?Lily nearly choked on her drink as she turned her head and coughed quietly in to her napkin. "Don't see why not."Lily stated firmly once she could breathe normally.It's not like have anything else to do. "Excuse me."Lily leaves to the bathroom as she passes the gentleman from earlier. Then coming back to the table after washing her hands, face and getting off most of the dirt. She stood by her pushed in chair.'Whenever you're ready.'maybe with this girl I'll learn to improve my skill and get access to the creeps who put me here in the first place.

Fiore shifted as she watched Kyrin, her panther, and Izzy leave the room, leaving her alone with Felix. She looked around the lab full of equipment which Fiore had no idea how to use. She felt rather nervous. Not because she didn't know how to handle herself, but she was in a place that she couldn't maneuver in. All of the technology seemed like a different language.
Fiore looked down at the ground when they were left alone. Why did she cover for me? I could have handled myself just fine. Fiore glowered a bit at Felix and didn't really want to tell her anything, but she had to repay her for helping her escape the clutches of Kyrin. Even after all of this, Fiore still had respect for Kyrin, but was now rather, well, afraid to approach her. "I just wanted to see Izzy. I-I wasn't planning on intruding, and I don't want to seem like a stalker or anything...I just wanted to see her..." This subject intruded a bit into Fiore's personal feelings, so she spoke in a somewhat angry tone, her bangs falling over her eye and casting a shadow.

Kyrin and Craig had waited patiently for her. Upon her return, the two stood up. Craig handed Kyrin his leather jacket, "It'll keep you warm." He said, smiling gently.
Kyrin tried to protest, due to the fact that Craig was only in a T-shirt, but he would hear none of it. Wrapping the jacket around her shoulders, she was led to the door. "Let's go." Ky said to Lily over her shoulder.
Talking quietly to Craig all the way home, Kyrin got the background on Fiore and was rather impressed. She then told Craig of how Osiris had found Fiore spying in their tree. "Put spikes in your trees." Was Craigs's reply. The two laughed all the way to the mansion.
Once they got there Craig wandered through the grounds and made his way into the house. "I'm going to go see Izzy." He called to Kyrin, who'd stopped Lily at the gate.
Kyrin nodded and watched him disappear through the doors. Shifting Craig's coat on her shoulders, Kyrin looked at Lily, "Do you want to be a part of the Butterfly Mafia?" She asked in a low voice.

Lily followed keeping her distance as she scouted this new route she was being lead through. At the gate where Kyrin stopped she stood silently as she looked for the third time upon the run down mansion. Lily looked back at Kyrin when she spoke as Lily held the bars of the gate."I would ask what is this mafia but you would either have to kill me to keep it safe or recruit me."Lily gazes at the roof where she lay not to long ago looking at the stars.'I'll give it a shot and if I fail you can kill me, but get my family out of this city as a last request.'Then looking back at Kyrin she adds,"I know that seems bold to ask, but I assure you I don't plan to fail. Deal?"It's worth a shot and sounds like fun.

After being pushed out of the lab by Felix and, with much ignored knocking, finding that she wasnt going to be let back in any time soon, Izzy made herself relunctantly content with going into the ballroom, Osiris in her arms, after Kyrin left her as well. Sitting down on the dais, she placed Osiris next to her and began petting him.
"Are they mad at me? Because I was too loud?" Izzy asked Osiris, as if honestly expecting him to answer. Finding that the black cub didnt answer, Izzy looked hurt as she asked, "Are you mad at me too? Do you hate me?" Still not getting an answer, with no fault really being the cub's, Izzy came to her own conclusion, "You do!" and, pulling her knees close and wrapping her arms around them, Izzy buried her face as she cried, desolately.

Kyrin looked at Lily for a long minute before saying, "Did anyone ever tell you you talk too much?" Pulling her hand through her hair, she let it fall freely. Long strands covered her left eye as she looked at her mansion. Kyrin had an air about her; the aura of a leader, commanding respect with every intention of getting it. Behind her composed self, though, Kyrin was nearly harmless. She didn't really care for violence and tended to keep that side of herself in check, every once in a while she would lose it though. Ky herself was somewhat like a dog in the sense that just because it barks, doesn't mean it bites. This fact wasn't well known, as Kyrin had a reputation as a cold blooded killer... though she was only the one giving the orders, not doing the deed.

Craig entered the room to a crying Izzy. He quietly made his way to her on the far side of the room. Kneeling down he wrapped his arms around her and shushed her, "Hush darling Izzy," He said lovingly, "You are okay, I've got you."

Lily laughed the sugar in the tea and lovelyness of the mint effecting her and making her calm."You know the trade I am in. I got to cover those I still have."Lily shrugged watiting for the Lady's real answer.

Upon Craig's contact, Izzy stopped crying for a moment to lift her head and look at him with tear-stained cheeks. Her bottom lip quivered for a second before she wailed, "Everyone hates me! That's why they all left me alone!" resulting in a fresh stream of tears. She plopped her head back down on her arms and continued to wallow in her own misery.

Kyrin eyed Lily, "Protect those you still have? If I'm correct you recently decided to leave them." She shrugged, "But if you really seriously think you need to make this deal with me then you need to think on something: I don't know them, they aren't anything to me." It was blunt and to the truth, and Kyrin didn't seem to care if she sounded rude.

Holding her closer still, Craig whispered soothing words into her ear, "I'm here, see? You aren't alone." Rocking her back and forth he said, "No one hates you Izzy, its not possible to hate someone like you." He tilted her face up, and wiped the tears off her face, "Come now, do you think Kyrin would want to see you crying? She is home now, you know? And she's happier."
