 Kyrin glanced over at Nori once the meeting was over and said in a low voice, ”I know that you might feel a little uncomfortable here, but I want to talk to Jason…” She nodded to the weapons man, ”About getting you a small gun to start with, so that we can keep you protected, and so that we can start your training.” She smiled to Nori before she got out of her chair. ”Apparently Jaydn needs me.” And with that she push her chair back in and made her way to the front. I suppose its better now then later, he’d just steam for a while if I avoided him. Kyrin noticed that Miles was already there and decided that to not look at him as well. Looking Jaydn in the eye, a small smile tugged at the edges of her mouth, but she tried to will it away. She knew that Jaydn was irritated at her and she wondered if he’d figured out that it was her who had invited Nori. But I have a reason. And once Jaydn was done with his little rant, as she thought it would be, she would tell him about why Nori was there.

Having felt rude staring at the two women at the table, Jun had taken to admiring and handling Jasons display of weaponry. Paying as little attention to the proceedings as he was, Jun hardly noticed that the meeting had come to an end. When he heard his name called by Jaydn, Jun almost dropped the large clip to the assault rifle he had picked up. Turning to Jason, Jun gave a shrug and got up from his seat. He would miss an opportunity to learn more about Kyrin's little friend, but maybe Jaydn would explain exactly why he had been invited to this meeting.
Jun hurried so that Ky and Miles would not have to wait on him long. Nodding politely to the them, Jun took up standing next to Kyrin and looking expectantly at Jaydn.

 As those that he summoned came to him, Jaydn rose out of his seat. He nodded to each of them in turn before saying, "I appreciate your reports. Now I'm sure, Mr. Kato, that you are wondering as to why you were asked to come to the meeting. I've decided upon what you'll be doing as you stay here with us." He gave a glance to Kyrin, a shadow of a smile flickering in his eyes as he continued, "You are familiar with the rules of the streets and so that's where I'll be placing you. Learn the different streets, people, and the news that they carry, just as you did in Japan. If language is any sort of barrier to this, Kyrin will be helping you with that, as you will be within her jurisdiction." Jaydn held out a hand to Jun'ichi, asking in the form of a statement, "I can hope that I can safely rely on you once again?"

I get to work under Ky? I'd love to be under Ky! Jun smiled when Jaydn's last comment. "You bet my man!" Jun exclaimed, and with that he slapped Jaydn's hand. "In no time, I'll have this city boxed for you." Jun smiled widely and turned to Kyrin. "I look forward to working together." Jun turned back to Jaydn, "Anything for I can help you with?"Maybe I can still catch that nori chick.

Jason sat at the table looking confused. He had never displayed merchandise and had no one ask any questions. I was charging a high price in rural Africa and people were gobbling up weapons. Here surrounded by all the money in the world and the guns all essential free no one but Jun wants one. Holly crap! Well at least no one has asked me for a tank I hate being asked that question. “Molly, will you need this paperwork filled out for all my personas or just for the name I was born into?” Jason listened to the answer she gave and started to put away all the things Jun had moved out of the case. He didn’t close it just made it look presentable should any one decide to get up and look at it. The room felt odd to Jason he had expected more people to speak after Jaydn freed them from the meeting. Everyone but the three Jaydn had wanted to talk too sat still in their chairs. Nori! Jason wondered how he could have forgotten. Seeing her all alone, he though this is a great chance to get some face time in. Jason stood up walked around the table to stand next to the beautiful girl. Jason was naturally a tall man and in a room full of seated people his height was even more pronounced. “Nori was it? I am Jason. I was just wondering if I could get a minute to talk with you once the meeting is truly over. Perhaps over coffee? Jason smiled and stuck out his hand. It was not Jason’s normal approach to be so polite or so subtle to a woman he wanted to get back to room to ******** but she being in this meeting meant she was important and it was better not to step on toes.

 Nori sat through most of the meeting with his eyes on his hands in front of him. What Miles said seemed to match up with Kyrin's story, although Ky had said earlier that she wasn't supposed to have shown up. Was he covering for her? Nori frowned a bit. He didn't like the idea of them having a fling. Not at all.
After staring at his hands for a while, he looked up at the noise Jason was making with his report. The loud clank on the table of the case displaying the guns made Nori retract a bit more into his chair. These were more than simple handguns, they were killing machines. It made him nervous to imagine the carnage they'd create, but with a shake of his head, he realized, Of course there's carnage... This is a crime organization. This is your life now. Suddenly that fact seemed more real than ever. Just what AM I doing here? he thought hopelessly, as Molly passed out her paperwork. I wanted to change my life and be someone else, and this is what I do? Content cleaning and following important people around. At least I'm friends with Ky but... is that the only reason I haven't been lynched yet? He felt more and more useless as the time progressed. I shouldn't be here...
Nori looked up as Maddox spoke and tried to smile a little, putting his feelings aside. They weren't really friends, but Nori felt kindred to him somehow, and maybe a smile would reassure him, who always seemed a bit nervous. When Jaydn finally concluded the meeting, a small sigh escaped his lips. At least now he could get back to his chores...
But then Kyrin spoke. She had noticed... Leave it to Ky to know how I'm feeling! He actually smiled broadly, breaking out of his insecurities. "Thanks." So he would actually get to use a gun... maybe this would be a great way to release some tension. He nodded to Kyrin as she turned to walk away, then observing the room of people. He tried to imprint the faces of the newer people into his mind.
Soon enough, the man named Jason approached. This was who Ky said I'm getting a gun from? Why is he coming up to me? His sheer height made him a bit imposing, not to mention the report he gave earlier solidified that he was indeed a very dangerous man. Talk with me? what does he want to talk about? ...he must think that I'm an important person and want to discuss something business-like with me...He'll probably be disappointed. Nori rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "H-hello. Nice to meet you Mr.-..." Thinking about it, Nori didn't recall his last name. " Mr. Jason. Well, I'm free most of the time, but I don't drink coffee. If you ever have anything you need to talk about, I'm usually in the kitchen or.. just around the living quarters...So you can drop by." He said with a small smile. He hoped that the mention of being in the kitchen gave a clue that he was not really anyone important, and maybe Jason wouldn't want to talk business. Nori had no problem meeting new people, so if Jason still wanted to waste time by coming by to talk, he could always use more friends and allies.

 While Jason was speaking, the wheels were turning in Xay's head. It was one thing to not like this man for the wrong foot they'd started on, but it was another to feel a fear in the pit of his stomach because of the man. We wont get along. Xavier thought. Xavier may have gotten used to Jason eventually, and maybe he still would, but it would take a long time. When the guns were splayed out, Xavier may have been the only one that flinched ever so slightly. Even though they were not loaded, Xavier refused to pick one up. Xavier's one and only gun resided in the night stand drawer next to his bed and it hardly ever went out with him. With Kryin's report, however, Xavier found that it might need to accompany him, but he would judge that after she found out if the new gang was a big threat to them directly.
Xavier was grateful for the papers that Molly slide in front of everyone, because they took his attention away from the display on the table. He looked over them intently, trying to will the meeting to be over so he could leave the room. Thankfully, both Maddox and Jaydn were quick about their reports and once Jaydn released them, Xavier stuck around just long enough to see the three called go up to Jaydn and to see Jason make a B-line to Nori. He took one more second to inform his middle brother that he would like to speak to Jaydn later on in the day and with that he exited the room. Once out the doors, Xavier relaxed visibly."The day is not going well." He grumbled to himself.

 Charles listened intently to the things the others had to say. He was always interested in what his fellow workers were doing. When Miles began, though, all Charles could think of was how he’d told Miles to bring someone with him. The fatherly instincts in Charles started up, I am going to have to talk to him later. She may be strong willed, but unless he invited her then she wouldn’t have known where. He was very careful with that information from what I can see. And then Miles confirmed Charles’ thought, So he did bring her along… His eyes trailed over to Kyrin and settled momentarily on her face before he looked back to Miles, Of all the choices, he brings her? That has to be one of the worst ideas I have heard from him yet. Unless… But Charles still couldn’t figure out how Kyrin would have know where it was unless Miles had given her the information.
After Miles, his attention went to Xavier, but when he realized that Jun and Jason were having their own little side conversation he sighed internally. It was something that he would have expected of Xavier definitely, but not Jason. Something must have been up. Knowing Jason, if it was something real good then he would share it with Charles later. With the short length of Xavier’s report, Charles turned with interest to Jason. When the man splayed the guns out on the table, Charles looked them over with interest. When the meeting was over, he would get a closer look, but until then, he would leave them on the table. He didn’t fancy reaching across people. Jason’s normal confidence seemed to resonate when he told Kyrin that he could one up the new gang.
Charles looked at the papers that Molly laid out with interest. Now this is new. He thought almost warily. He hadn’t had to fill out papers like the ones that she was proposing before. And he made sure that he looked them over carefully. Charles realized also, that he had yet to meet Molly, and made a mental note to introduce himself proper after the meeting was over. He would also make sure that he had the papers filled out before he left the meeting. If he didn’t do it then, they would get pushed aside until his newest problem was solved. Maddox’s report was as normal, something on their latest advertising venture, just in case any of them got caught and were pulled into questioning. Charles was sure that Maddox would have more information sent to them later. And then it was Jaydn, and with the finality in which he gave his dismissal, Charles wondered how irritated he was with the days news.
Charles noticed that Jaydn was having a conversation with Miles, Kyrin, and Jun and decided that he would have to talk to Miles later. And with Jason occupied now talking to Nori… Oh! And Charles had to stifle a laugh, If Jason thinks that Nori is a woman, he is in for a surprise. Xavier’s sudden disappearance confused Charles for a moment, but then he composed himself and made his way over to Molly. He held out his hand to her and said, ”Good Morning, Ms. Al-Kohen. My name is Charles Sweetland. It is a pleasure to meet you. Have you had a pleasant first night here?”

She seems so timid how cute. Jason took a knee next to the young girl putting him at eye level. His eyes followed Xavier as he left the room. Hmm… He looked a bit pale. Why are you thinking about him, hot a** in front of you. “This building has a kitchen? Is there I drive in Movie Theater up here too?” Why is she so nervous? Wait! Jason’s mind rewound bringing up the words he had over heard Jaydn say. Jun works for Kyrin. Jun and Nori appear to be the same rank. Kyrin introduce Nori. Nori must be one of Kyrin people. Judging by the size and build Nori must be an assistant. ******** and I am a big scary death dealer. Jason gave a reassuring smile. “You spend a lot of time in the kitchen? Have you ever had southern style gumbo? Taste like you done gone to heaven.” Jason removed his glasses. He knew he was grasping at straws but he wanted to keep the conversation going with the young minx.

Nori instinctively rolled his chair back a bit as Jason kneeled down, giving himself more of a distance; he was still a bit people-shy and hadn't expected Jason's friendliness. " I believe there may be an area to watch movies actually. " Nori commented, tilting his head to the side with a small smile. so far he seemed like a nice guy, maybe like how Maddox and Charles were nice. "Uhm, yes, I do most of the cooking, but mostly european or japanese recipes. I don't know much about American cuisine, but if you'd like to make it I'd love to try it. "

Jason almost came to a laugh at how straight forward Nori was. I guess she didn’t get the joke. Oh well I think a drive in movie in an office building is funny. “Baby girl, that is a sin against the good lord almighty himself, to never had no Gumbo.” Jason remembered that he was still technically in a meeting and frowned slightly. “Sorry when I think of my mother I switch to using country grammar and I know this isn’t the place for it.” Oh well back to business. “… … So I take it your one of Ms. Matsui associates.”

A smile turned the corner of his mouth as shook his head minutely, "I'll be having you sweep Main street and its adjacent paths today. Kyrin will answer any questions you have after I'm done speaking with her and Miles. Otherwise, that will be all from me, Mr. Kato."
Once Jun had taken his leave from their company, Jaydn turned his attention to Kyrin and Miles. "I appreciate your honesty with me considering the mishap we had last night. Obviously, having you, Kyrin, go along with Miles last night was not the best of ideas but what is done is done." As composed as Jaydn appeared to be, his blood boiled as he asked, "I want the details of the fight. Most importantly, the name of the person stupid enough to strike a Matsui."

Kyrin’s eyes narrowed slightly when Jaydn said that Jun would be working under her, Great, but more reason for him to make passes at me. And when he said that Ky would help Jun with his “language barrier” Kyrin had to hide her disgust. I am not a translator. That is not my job. The first thing on her list for the day was definitely to find Jun a translator. She knew there had to be someone in the building she could use. Jaydn had enough men. When Jun spoke to her in Japanese Kyrin said pleasantly,”I’m sure.” Once Jun was gone, Ky’s attention on was Jaydn. She held a civil tone while she replied, ”It wasn’t exactly my presence that was a poor idea, it was more the company we kept.” Kyrin wasn’t going to release herself from blame completely but she sure as hell wasn’t going to take on Mr. Walter’s transgressions. She looked at Miles for a moment before she looked back at Jaydn, ”Mr. Walters, the man we spoke of earlier, is a bit of a loose canon. He seemed to notice that Miles wanted to move on the casino businesses and accused him of cheating. Some words were spoken and it ended in a brawl.” Ky decidedly left out the part of the night where she pulled out her gun. At Jaydn’s last line Kyrin had to admit that she had been equally amazed that someone would commit this type of act. She knew that if her father found out, he would strategically have the man disappear, but she also knew that this might not be a good idea considering the commotion caused during the fight and the number of others present. He’d be better not to find out anyway. The last thing we need is for him to not think we can deal with this man ourselves. With a smile lighting her lips and her eyes glinting a little, Kyrin said, ”And the man who gave me this, She motioned to her eye, ”Would be none other then the same Mr. Walters.” She paused a moment, before continuing, ”But don’t worry cousin, I will deal with him.” Since she was telling Jaydn what happened and was in a room full of people, Kyrin thought that maybe she would get out of the lecture he wanted to give her if she just gave him the info that he wanted. Once she was done, she looked again to Miles to see if he had anything to add.

As Jaydn and Jun spoke, Miles listened. Jun seemed to have a decent grasp of the English language. It seemed unfair that Kyrin would have to go around translating, but maybe it was Jaydn's personal way of keeping her in check and out of trouble. More than being angry at Kyrin, he seemed more interested in getting his hands on Walters.
Miles followed after Kyrin, twirling the lighter in his pocket. His voice was somewhat lowered for just the two to hear. "It's as Miss Kyrin says. Walters found a very convenient time to try and disrupt our conversation." His hand left his pocket to rub his soar shoulder, remembering the night before. " He knew who we were, and still tried to pick a fight. Either he's ignorant, rash, an idiot, or all three, but in any case, he should at least know what kind of trouble he's getting into. " Miles smirked, as the others could guess what he was getting at. He made eye contact with Kyrin breifly. "If it's a retribution you're after, there should be no problem in making an example out of him. " He looked back to Jaydn. " That's if you want to make a statement of course. We have the upper hand, especially considering we made an important contact out of a 'Mr. Ortega' anyways. With him will come others, in a matter of time. Walters was a just a bit of a hiccup, but things will run smoothly. I'll make sure of it." Whether it was beating the hell out of Mr.Walters or visiting multiple casinos to make multiple contacts, Miles would gladly do it if given the command. It would just make work that much more fun.

 With the meeting concluded, Molly began to pack her things away in thier proper files orderly. She answered Mr. Oriole's questions simply with, "All of them." Returning to her task, she almost jumped in surprise when Charles spoke. Mr. Sweetland, mild manored fellow? Or deadly double agent? He definately seems physicaly capable. Molly took his hand and adopted a curtious smile. "Goodmorning Mr. Sweetland, I have had a pleasent stay so far. May I help you with anything?"
