 Jamie nodded briefly to Fiore. "James," he introduced himself in a quiet voice. He was almost certain he had seen this person lurking about before, but he didn't find that important.
But he also was uncertain on the inclusion of the word 'family' into the description. The word alone brought back memories that he wanted out of his mind, and he shuddered.
You put that phone down, James Michael. You don't go ratting out on your own family.
Your own family doesn't hurt each other.
Heh. What kind of bullshit they been feeding into your head. I do what I need to keep my family in line.
He closed his eyes, willing the memories away before they got any worse, hardly a discernable gesture, his composure regained almost as quickly as he had lost it. He wondered on Nori's reaction to his original greeting, and took a step further, turning to Nori. "Could I ask you a question, Nori?" he smiled, keeping the friendly demeanor, not really wanting to isolate the newcomer, but he felt it would be important to know about the mission, and he figured Nori of all people would know. Besides, it was a good distraction, keep the memories away.

Nori, ever sensitive to other's uncomfort, thought perhaps he had said something wrong, almost like a bad omen. He waved the thought away as Jamie asked him a question. Glancing from Jamie to Fiore, he wondered if it was okay to carry on another conversation. "Sure." he said sheepishly, bowing slightly with an apologetic grin towards Fiore.

Jamie smiled to Fiore, and to Nori, apologetic for feeling as though he had intruded. He spoke softly, his words carefully chosen, to try and make his intrusion as quick as possible. He had never been comfortable around people he didn't know, or didn't know well. "I was just going to ask if you knew anything about the mission," Jamie definitely didn't want to leave Fiore out, but at the same time, he thought the information might be of use to the girl, as well. Perhaps that was selfish of him to think, a way to rationalize his belonging in the conversation, but he had thoroughly convinced himself that it was pertinent information for all.

 "A mission?"
Fiore looked up at both of them, her own height being small once again, but she didn't seem very self conscious. This would be a chance for her to get stronger, see what the mafia can do, and maybe even, well, fit in. But after saying this, she saw the look on both of their faces. Although she wanted to hear more, she'd just have to wait because it didn't seem like either of them were interested in talking to Fiore.
"Ah...um..."
Fiore looked away for a moment, and with a slight bow, she excused herself.

" ah-...hmm..." Nori wanted to catch Fiore from walking away, but he didn't know if it was okay or not to talk abut the mission in front of her. Shuffling his hand through his hair again as she left, he decided he would have to get to know her better later.
Nori told Jamie the mission details, biting his lip in between pauses and smoothing Izzy's dress absent mindedly a majority of the time. " And I get to be the one in charge of disguises." he finished. He couldn't wait to get his hands on some of the fabrics. He would cooperate with the person's idea he was working on, but he still felt like a major part of the project, which gave him a completely different type of smile from the one he usually wore so casually.

Jamie grinned. "Disguises? Really? This could be fun."
A part of him felt sad to see Fiore go, but it had been her decision. He hadn't invited her, nor had he discouraged her, so he felt no guilt at her leaving. He ran a hand through his brown hair, shaking his head and letting it fall back to his shoulders. He had been thinking about dying his hair black, something he did whenever he got bored with it, and a plot began to formulate in his head. "So what do you say to helping me with a disguise of sorts?" his face formed into a scheming smirk.

Nori nodded in that favor, clasping his hands together. " Sounds great! What do you have in mind? " his face lightened up instantly, not noticing his opposite's expression. He leaned in closer to Jamie, thumbnail accompanying his mouth, as he looked him up and down for his own outfit ideas. If James already had an idea, then this could run a lot more smoothly, and since he approached him, he might as well discuss his disguise plans with him first.

Jamie laughed lightly. "I haven't really thought about clothes yet, I mean, I'll wear anything just about, but I want to dye my hair black, maybe cut it shorter," he pushed his hands through his hair again, shuffling self consciously, and smiling. Though he was often a little self conscious, sometimes nervous around Nori, his expression brightened significantly when he thought of the shock he was going to put Ian through, transforming himself into a completely different person. Besides, he figured to himself, I could use to be someone else right about now.

"Un, That's not a bad idea." He said matter-of-factly. In a beautician's point of view, it would be no problem. How much to take off?
He reached his hand up to Jamie's hair, hesitating. With a bit of red rising to his cheeks, he brushed a hand through it. It felt nice through his fingers, but he pulled his hand away quickly. "Yes, I would cut it a lot shorter." He replied, looking away meekly. " I could buy some dye tonight, as long as I get everyone else's disguise input as well." Nori pulled on his own hair again, and stopped mid-stroke to realize that he hadn't thought of a disguise for himself yet. Oh well, everyone else first.

Jamie nodded, leaning into Nori's touch. He had a severe weak spot for having his hair touched, and the fact that he cared about the person doing it only made it that much better. "Yeah, that'd be great," he managed to mumble out, a heated blush rising to his cheeks. Jamie fixated intently on the ground, avoiding Nori's eyes, as though not looking at him would hide the blush. "Thanks," he chanced a smile, looking up through his bangs at Nori.

 “What do you think?” Kyrin responded to Jaydn in Japanese as well, not wanting the new comer to understand their conversation. She knew that it was leaving him out, but at that moment it didn’t matter to her. Kyrin was as fluent in Japanese as her cousin was but it wasn’t often that the two would have a full conversation in the language.
Kyrin toyed with her hair again, she wasn’t quite used to its new length. She shifted in her chair and crossed one of her legs over the other, not taking her eyes off of Jaydn, “Father doesn’t like him for the obvious reasons, but what do you think would be the other?” Kyrin continued to speak in Japanese.

His reaction made Nori cover his mouth mid-giggle. Jamie's shyness was a vulnerability that he didn't see too often, and Nori found it simply charming.
"No problem." He still had some laugh left in his voice.
He stood back into his natural composure, in a 'no-worries' grin, for the sake of Jamie and both of their nerves.

Jamie made some attempt to regain his composure, toying thoughtfully with strands of his own hair. He was going to miss it, in a way, but the thought of having a disguise to hide behind settled his nerves significantly. He saw Nori relaxing back into his regular demeanor, and sighed. Maybe Nori didn't feel the same way about him? The thought made more sense than the hope that Nori perhaps felt something for him. "Y- Yeah," he nodded, smiling.

 Jaydn shrugged, giving his cousin a smirk, "It's probably because he didn't meet the appearance requirements." Jaydn was aware that Tristan wasn't bad to look at but he felt like joking with his cousin now, especially since Tristan couldn't understand what it was they said.
As he grew up, Japanese was what his mother would usually speak to him in, wanting him to become fluent in it to continue the tradition. Unfortunately, Jaydn's Japanese accent was slightly off, it wouldn't confuse anyone but any native speaker would know he was an outsider.
Turning his attention to Tristan for a second and giving him a smile, Jaydn spoke to Kyrin,"Personally, I dont trust him any farther than I can throw him."

" Ah, anyways, " He started, shaking off his fidgeting, "It's still pretty early, so I should grab something to eat." He didn't know that Ian was in the kitchen making food, so he started walking in that direction. " Maybe you could help me come up with a disguise? I'm still clueless" He pulled on the end of Jamie's shirt for him to follow and trotted to his new destination.
