Kyoshi thought about that for a moment and shook his head. "I don't think anyone from your group can handle her. Just think, if I told her that she needed to have one of them follow her around for political purposes, they would end up pulling their hairs out." That made him laugh since it was one of the reasons he got along so well with Gambler. They were partners since the very beginning, so of course he was going to find it funny that Gam would make someone's life a living hell all while smiling. "Damn, this is going to be a hard thing to do."
Joker rolled his eyes. "Enough children. Let's go Kit." He touched her hand gently, offering his and wanting to be alone with Kit to talk to her since he hadn't had the time before now. Maybe he should thank Gambler for banishing him that gave him this chance to be with her.

Dusk sighed softly, shaking her head again, “I think… that we should have someone shadow her… At least so that we know what it is that’s going on. We don’t need someone to spy on her, but just a check, you know? I don’t think Gambler is going to be alright with someone being there and knowing what she’s doing all the time, even if we were to ask someone to be honest with this… but I’m worried about her. I don’t like what it is that she’s doing, but I will say that I want her to actually be alright. She’s not making it easy for me to want that but… still.”
Both ‘children’ glared at one another but then there was a bit of a nod and she was touching Joker’s hand for a moment, nodding before they were beginning to walk out of her apartment. “Don’t trash it!” She wasn’t able to hear the reply as Kit began to laugh, shaking her head. “Alright… You brought your car, right? The place isn’t exactly close because it’s in Ellwood…”

Frowning he looked at her. "Your not going to use your shadows right? And...Don't ask Rave to do that either. If anything Gambler has nothing to hide other than her reasons but that's all locked in her mind than something on paper. We can find someone or even put someone under serious make up to pass of as someone else to follow her around. Again it's up to you and we can work something out that doesn't endanger the progress you have been making and pushing the wrong buttons on Gambler."
Blinking some, Joker nodded. "Yes, I have a car and all you need to do is point the way for me." He said, leading her to his nice car that didn't attract alot of attention, opening the door for her. "After you?" He smiled being a gentleman.

She had to laugh as she stroked his hair, “I don’t mean a literal shadow, Kyoshi. I don’t want to know her reasons for this, I just want to make sure that she’s going to be okay. When people do things like this, make radical choices like this, that means that they’re not being stable and I don’t want to risk much with her. I’m beginning to really dislike her but… still.” Just because Dusk didn’t like the woman, that didn’t mean that she wanted her getting hurt or doing something to herself or anything like that. That would just make her life that much harder…
Smiling a bit at the other, Kit nodded before beginning to get into the car, sighing some. “I think that I can do that… Do you remember how to get to Ellwood?” Now that she thought about it, Kit didn’t think that they ever actually drove there… mostly walked and ran and did anything to get there but drive. Sometimes it amazed her how far back in time they went in a crisis… “It’s north of Ellwood at the community center. I think that you’ll be allowed in; the place has gotten a lot more accepting thanks to Dusk. It’s not perfect but… it’s getting there.”

Breathing a sigh of relief, Kyoshi nodded. "Alright." He said, not commenting on Dusk not liking Gambler. There was a method. There was something that Gambler was planning on doing but he couldn't think of what it could be. Sighing he rested back to stare at the ceiling. "Look, let's brib someone to go and tag along with her, alright? Make sure it's not a woman because she'll kill her if she gets near the other leaders of her city." That and because Gambler didn't get along with other women that well.
Joker nodded and got into the car with a big smile. Starting the car he drove his way to Ellwood. "So, Kit how are you? Where do you work? What's your favorite things? List them all so I know and what do you look for in a man?" He asked bluntly, blinking some as he was trying to get to their destination.

In the car and bombarded with questions, Kit had to raise a brow before she chuckled some, shaking her head a bit. “I’ve been fine, Joker… As for the other questions?” Another laugh came from her and she couldn’t help but shake her head some. “I work at a pub down the block from the apartments. It’s not that great of a place, but it’s not like I’ve specialized in anything other than drinks so… I can’t really get many other jobs. My references aren’t the best.” She only had Eri, and he was dead now so… that was no use. “I don’t know what to tell you about my favorite things, so be more specific, and what I look for in a man?” She raised a brow. “Why do you want to know?”
Dusk chuckled some, nodding at the other before stroking his hair slowly again. “Bribe someone? That might work… Should she know about the person there, or should he be hidden? Should he be someone that she knows or not? Ziggy’s pretty easy to get along with, as long as someone’s not you…” Dusk still didn’t understand why those two couldn’t get along. “And then there’s… Ali. Ali tends to be good for things like that, but she’s a kid and Gambler would probably snap at her eventually…” The little girl was just too damn intuitive, but that came with being a born empath.

Kyoshi shook his head. "No. No kids. Gambler will stop doing everything if a kid was following her around. Remember the Twins? They were old enough but she was still stern and motherly to them. Plus, that's a low blow to her heart." It might be a while before Gambler was alright to have kids around her as for Ziggy? He might not handle Gambler. "Anyone else that can handle Gam?" Damnit, it sucked that so little could handle the woman and possibly keep up with her.
"Okay. What's your favorite color, food, holiday, animal, person, person, and person?" He said person three times because he wanted to give Kit the chance to name him as one of those three. "I'm just curious on what you like in a male is all." He wanted to know if she was okay in being around a berserker. "Plus I can be your reference. Your a caring person and you know what's right and wrong. So you should be able to find something you can expand yourself in regardless if your just good with drinks or not."

Sighing some, Dusk nodded, understanding the reasoning behind the other’s words before she leaned back some, thinking more about this. “I think… Ziggy can handle a lot more than what you’re giving him credit for… he put up with me for a while.” She grinned, remembering how she had been when she had first come out of Ellwood. Actually, Ziggy had dealt with her before Zaine had. Sighing some, she gave another small nod before leaning back against her hand, humming softly. “I think that Zig is going to be the best shot… Talon would snap at her and we don’t need that… and all of the other people that I know are elvish or part of my group that she doesn’t know that well… like Harley or his siblings, but no one can handle them for long.”
A soft laugh came from the woman as she nodded some, thinking about that, “Green, grapes, Halloween, wolf, Kalore, Ali, and… hmm…” An even more amused look was on her features as she nodded some to herself. “And you… And you, yeah. That’s my third person.” Kit laughed softly, smiling more at him. “What about you? What’s your favorite color, food, holiday, animal, person, person, and person?” She didn’t say what she wanted in a mate… mostly because she really didn’t know. Love hadn’t ever been her thing and nothing long-term had been done with her so… What did she want?

Sighing, Kyoshi gave in with a nod. "Alright. We just need to come up with a good enough reason for Ziggy to be following her around in the open without her suspicious." The last thing anyone needed was Gambler turning rogue on them and harm the man, even if he can hold his own. Kyoshi silently did respect Ziggy but he also respected Gam and there were just some things about her that no one knows she capable of. Sitting up and draping his legs over to the side he looked at Dusk. "Should we get started?"
Joker smiled. "I like blue, apples, Birthdays, owls, you, you and you." He said blinking as he was counting to make sure he got three Kit's and one of everything else. "So, nothing in what you like in a man?" He asked, hoping that she did like something like humor and possibly romantic dates with walks on the beach. Joker became distracted as his thoughts went straight to invisioning Kit in a bikini. Drool started to form as did the control of the car, barreling straight past pedestrians he wasn't watching out for.

“Joker!” Twitching some, Kit was nearly laughing as she noticed that he wasn’t even paying any attention to the road. “Pay attention or I’m going to be driving!” Kit rolled her eyes, sighing some before gesturing for him to get back to the road. She sighed some, leaning over to wipe the drool away from his lips, “What were you thinking about?” But then Kit was faced with the question of what she wanted for a mate and she had to think about that. “Honestly? I don’t have a clue. I’ve never wanted a boyfriend or a mate or anything like that. I’ve always just stuck with flings.” She blinked some, curious. “What about you? What do you want in a mate?”
She sighed some, nodding. “I think that he’s going to be our best bet…” Ziggy could handle himself and he was the most diplomatic of all of those that she knew. Sighing some, she turned and was sitting beside him, thinking about that. I think… the best thing that we can tell her is that I need someone to be an ambassador from my people… that or someone that’s working to help fix the city, seeing as my group is a part of the city, if she doesn’t kick us out…”

Kyoshi blinked. "That could work." He nodded and didn't bother reminding Dusk that everyone from her group was kicked out. However he assumed since there was no call from them saying something that must mean that Gambler was doing on things. No one was allowed to get into the city and no one was allowed to get out. Getting up he kissed Dusk on her cheek and went to get his clothes. "Alright, call him up and we draw up a nice, non-ripped paper that says he's an ambassador for you and then I'll meet him somewhere to lead him to Gambler. It should be noted that he wear something....suitable for this."
Joker snapped out of it and focused on where he was going until they finally made it. Dropping his shoulders he looked slightly sad that Kit wasn't interested in boyfriends and mates but just flings. Joker didn't like flings. It didn't do well for him because everyone somehow saw the monster in him and stay well away from him. "I want someone who's unafraid of me. I want someone to be at my side when I'm so far down. I want someone who accepts me and will let me give them all the happiness that's within me to give. I want a long term relationship with a future you know? I'm tired of being so alone."
Joker missed having a mate, a wife who cooked for him and smiled at him. Hell, there was once a time he did have a child and would do anything to have another one with him. Joker was a good father and he would be one still, even as a berserker. That would be interesting. Joker was distracted again but thankfully they were parked but the image was of him showing up for career day when the kids would bring their parents to share their professions. Chuckling he found it funny that his kid would say that he was a doctor and a berserker. If they asked, it would mean that he was a psycho doctor. "Are we here?" He asked slightly dazed.

Dusk sighed some, understanding that those of her group had been kicked out, but that bothered her a bit. What about Ali? And Talon? And Ziggy? Well, the one she was mostly concerned about was Ali… the nine year old that they all cared so much about; the one that had been able to get through to Kyoshi. The girl was something else and she loved her so much… but if gambler forced them out, Dusk would seriously have issues; more than she had had before. Sighing some, she nodded, “Begin to draw it up. A suit and tie fine for this?” Finding her phone, she glanced back, beginning to call Ziggy, listening to the dial tones. She wondered if he would even be awake…
The dropped shoulders didn’t go by unnoticed but Kit wasn’t completely certain on why they had happened. Sighing some, she leaned over, gently kissing his cheek. “I’m sure, Joker… that anyone who you ask will be just that. If they don’t give you what you desire, then they’re not worth it.” She smiled a bit, gently touching his hand as they parked. It wasn’t that Kit wasn’t interested in boyfriends, really, but she had just never had them. Well, not never… but it had been a very long time since she had had something like that. Instead, she was always in and out of flings, never really caring too much if they lasted long or not. With Joker, however… would that be a fling? No… no, Kit didn’t think that it would be.
“But yeah, we’re here.” She gestured up to the large building, incorporated with the tree that it was built in. “It’s on the… fourth floor? I think that that’s it… there’s a directory somewhere around here.”

Kyoshi nodded at Dusk's question and had his pants on, walking out of the room with the door closed behind him to go to Dusk's office and write up a paper with what he thought would definitely keep Ziggy and their intentions under the radar. All the while walking around the hallways topless and not giving a damn who saw him. The man was in great shape, why not flaunt it once in a while at these elven peeps?
The doctor nodded and kept his now slowly depressive side from being shown. Joker didn't want Kit to just stick with flings. He really did like her and was just so damned....He wanted her. It went beyond physical. Shaking his head of those thoughts he followed Kit and blinked. "Then let's first find the directory and then the fourth floor." Which was right in front of them, the directory and the fourth floor was...one the fourth floor.

Sighing softly, Dusk was a bit annoyed that she ended up getting her friend’s voicemail, but she took in a breath, speaking quickly. “Look, I’ve got a job for you that I need to talk to you about. Call me back within the day, alright?” Hanging up, she placed the phone on her nightstand, beginning to get up to just pace slowly. This wasn’t going to be something that was easy… but she was sure that Ziggy would make sure that he was well behaved and did as he was supposed to. Out of all of her friends, he was probably the one that had the least amount of enemies. Then again, he did play spy so… mostly people just didn’t know what he was… That helped.
Kit nodded, glancing over at the man for a moment. “Are you alright?” She wasn’t totally sure that Joker was okay but she took his hand gently, leading him into the room. Kit didn’t think that something was too wrong but she was sure that something was going on with the other. “Um, if you want me to then I can do everything for you to make sure that they do what they’re supposed to.” Going into the elevator, she blinked, watching him for another moment before they began to leave the elevator, walking through a well decorated area. “No one here speaks anything but elvish but a few people… How much do you want to trade in?”

Finishing up writing down the official document that would make Ziggy an ambassador for Dusk, he signed it and left a space for his woman to sign it so that it was official. At the very least it looked like a great ploy to keep an eye on Gambler but Kyoshi wanted to speak to Ziggy alone about this to give him a fair warning about Gambler. It was the least he could do.
Getting up from the desk, he walked back towards Dusk's room, knocking softly to let her know it was him and entered, closing the door behind him and moving toward Dusk with the paper. "Read it and see if you approve all of it." In the document, Kyoshi practically gave enough power for Ziggy to possible even command a damn army and to possibly even be part of Gambler's most elite group of ambassadors that willingly accompany her almost everywhere.
Joker nodded and held Kit's hand taking in this one moment of bliss of touching her soft skin. He had to know what cream she used because it was like holding silk. Inwardly shaking himself to focus he nodded one more. "Yes, I need your help. I want to trade in.....at least two million dollars."
