 Jamie laughed, going along with Nori pulling on the hem of his shirt. In his thoughts on Nori, and the almost flirtatious nature with which he was being privy to, he forgot about Ian, off in the kitchen making omelets, or whatever he had announced irritably that he had been making. "Of course," his smile broadened. Help me come up with a disguise... He was even so far as to being invited into Nori's life, and that meant something to him. It was something Jamie himself did for very few people, and to have someone else doing it for him, inviting him in, meant something strong. It made Jamie happy.

 Kyrin smiled at the comment about appearance, apparently Jaydn had decided to be vain for the lot of them. Kyrin looked over at Tristan again, he wasn’t really that bad looking, the scar on his face was slightly distracting, and it suddenly made Kyrin wonder where it came from. Kyrin turned her attention back to Jaydn, “Well depending on how much you’ve been working out, I’d say you may be able to throw him a good distance.” She joked back. Kyrin had learned Japanese more from Jaydn’s mom then anyone else in her family as she was the most traditional of Han’s siblings.
Kyrin turned her pale blue eyes on Tristan and spoke in English again, “What can you do for me?” Kyrin’s mind was on the newest mission. She had all the pieces, or so she thought. Her and Jaydn were a pretty good shot, plus she had Osiris, who would love to put his teeth into anyone he could. Bella would serve as another killer, it was in her blood to do it, and Kyrin thought that sometimes she enjoyed it too much. Now she had Nori, who she hoped would be more then helpful in the way of disguising her people. She didn’t quite know what James would be good for, as she didn’t know if he was good with a weapon, or even if he would use it if he needed to. She remembered him being pretty good with his words, but didn’t know if they could use that skill just yet. Ian, she had no idea about at all as the man seemed to avoid her. Lily, she knew would be able to sneak into small places and Kyrin figured the girl was a good fight when she needed to be. Fiore, she was glad to have now, because Felix was gone still and she was going to need someone to get her past any security or hidden cameras there may have been in place. Kyrin remembered that Craig was going as well, and she knew that he always found a way to get himself out of trouble, he had shown it many times. He was an escape artist by trade. And lastly, Kyrin thought of Draven, she had figured him a killer as well, by the nature he had displayed to her anyway.
Kyrin figured she had all her bases covered, she couldn’t think of anything else she would need. She waited curiously for Tristan’s answer, but while she waited, she said off handedly to Jaydn, “What would you guess him good for?” Kyrin, herself, figured Tristan to be a fighter, someone who was good with a weapon or two.

 After Ian had finished making his omelet, he sat down at the table and just as he was about to take a bite, something caught his eye. He could easily see into the foyer from the kitchen. Nori and Jamie were so obviously flirting with each other, it was painful. Ian frowned and felt an old feeling bubble up inside, pure jealousy. Ian gripped his fork tightly and glared at both of them. Ian watched as Nori dragged Jamie toward the kitchen. Ian didn't want to be apart of a conversation with them and quickly stood from his chair. He knew that he had no right to be jealous of Nori and Jamie but he couldn't help feeling that way. Jamie wasn't his anymore. He had a new life and Jamie could easily fall in love again. Ian knew that Jamie had heard that Ian still had feelings for him but all it seemed like Jamie was doing was throwing his feelings back in his face. Just a few minutes ago, Jamie had been teasing him and ignoring anything he had asked of him and now he was flirting with another boy right in front of him. Biting his lip to prevent himself from saying anything, Ian grabbed his plate and stomped past the both of them. He didn't want to be a part of their flirting. He decided to distance himself from Jamie for a while. It hurt to just be around him.

 Jaydn continued to smile smugly as he spoke to Kyrin, not bothering to return to English. His grey eyes twinkled in amusement and he ran his hand through his hair, vanity suddenly striking him. "Like you said, I could always throw him and see how many people he slows down."
Even as he joked, Jaydn looked intently at Tristan, analyzing and recalling how he spoke, stood, walked, and even sat, trying to figure out what it was this man could offer Kyrin and if it was anything that was worthwhile to her. He can't possibly do anything spectacular or else Uncle Han wouldn't have refused him. The fact that Tristan couldnt say what the second reason he was refused for was really made Jaydn even more curious about it. He determined that whenever he got the chance, he would visit his uncle and figure out just what that reason was. Maybe Kyrin will wanna tag along.

Nori watched Ian storm past without giving him time to say hello. "Eh?" He started.
He inquired to himself what that was all about, but thinking back, he thought that he probably knew why. He felt a small nibble of guilt in his stomach, but then again, Nori hadn't done anything wrong, right? No, his denial told him that he was just socializing. Socializing in a philandering way he probably wouldn't to any other person in the house, but socializing nonetheless. Flirt wasn't in his dictionary, and Nori would never say that he was the type of person to flirt, but if the opportunity arose, he figured it wouldn't hurt to let someone else advance.
He looked at Jamie quizzically, maybe for an explanation, but decided that maybe it was none of his business.

Craig, walked the large streets of the upper city, there were quite a few people out and it made it easier for Craig to blend into the crowd. Dressed up slightly, in black slacks and a clean white button up shirt, he went about his business. Han had sent him up there to scare a man who had stolen from one of Han’s people from the lower city, at times Han seemed to just send Craig out so he wouldn’t get bored. Craig didn’t mind it too much. Craig’s hair had gotten long, as everyone else had been getting, and he brushed it off his shoulders, I need a hair cut… Craig was hesitant at who he let cut his hair though; he saw Kyrin cut her own once and cringed, she hadn’t done a bad job at all, but he would only let professionals cut his. He was vain in that sense.
Craig had gone about his business, he scared the man, he took back the money, and as he left, he politely thanked the man. It threw the smaller man off, and Craig got a laugh out of it as he walked down yet another street, getting as far away from the man’s shop as he could. Craig knew better then to stay in one place for too long in the upper city, if anyone noticed him, they would know him as a wanted man. Craig had caused the people of the upper city a good amount of trouble for Han, but Craig couldn’t say that he didn’t enjoy it. As he wandered one of the streets, he bumped into a few people, he apologized, but managed to walk away with a number of wallets. Pick pocketing was a sport to him. He reached for another pocket, coming up behind a man that had red streaked through his hair. Craig made his move.

Jamie raised his eyebrows and looked after Ian, then turned back to Nori and shrugged. He knew precisely why Ian had reacted the way he did, but at the same time he thought it was overreacting at its finest. Jamie was a shameless flirt, and by now, he figured, Ian should have known this. He felt no guilt over the way he treated Ian, or the way he treated Nori. He knew that he probably should, but he didn't.
"Don't know what his problem is..." He mumbled, not really to Nori, not really to himself, but somewhere in between.

 Draven was totally oblivious to Craig's pickpocketing skills until the fairly large wallet left his pocket, creating a cold area on his rump. Instantly Draven felt his back pocket and cursed. Throwing the coat wide, Draven drew the two Berettas; both were a silver colour with black grips, nothing fancy. Draven of course favored blades instead of guns. As he drew them, he cocked both in a fluid motion and set them at the back of Craig. Leaning in close, Draven followed the movement of the guns and whispered into the man's ear, “if you want to live. I suggest you hand that back. Quickly”

When he heard the guns, Craig froze, <********> He hadn’t expected any one of the people walking through the streets of the upper city to be carrying. All the people up here think themselves safe, so why is this one carrying guns? But the instant Craig heard the man’s voice, a laugh escaped him. A wholehearted laugh, and he spun himself around, handing the wallet to Draven. “If you wouldn’t mind putting your toys away,” He said, with a grin on his face. Craig was curious as to why Draven was in the upper city and even more curious as to why the man had streaked his hair red, but he kept both curiosities to himself, as he ran a hand through his hair. Craig’s dark eyes sparkled in the morning sun as he looked Draven in the face with a smile.

Draven let a halfhearted laugh escape his lips as he slid the guns away, carefully putting the safety on, “these certainly aren’t toys”, Draven said grabbing his wallet and shoving it roughly in his back pocket. He went to grab the stubble on his chin and stopped, realizing that it was no longer there, he put his hand back into a pocket, “So what brings you up here?” Draven asked, trying to make small talk before he asked Craig where a gun shop was. He’d need a little upgrade.

Nori decided to pretend he didn't notice Ian's agitation, since it would only cause more trouble. Moving into the kitchen, there was the smell of previous cooking still wafting in the air. Nori's hands worked automatically, cleaning what was left out, taking out and putting away cutlery, pots, pans, and anything else necessary. Whenever he intended to make breakfast, he cooked for the entire household without being told to. He just figured it was the decent thing to do, and people expected him to do it.
While Nori did his busy work, he asked " Do you think I should go back to my natural color?" He tried to say it nonchalantly, but he was eager to hear Jamie's opinion. "For the disguise I mean"
But no sooner had he asked it, had he stopped and realized that dying his hair black would probably make him resemble Ian. " Maybe not." He answered himself, not giving Jamie any room to reply.

"What was your original color?" Jamie pulled out a cup and got himself a glass of water, sitting at the table and facing Nori, slyly watching the boy's backside as he worked, smilng to himself. He had almost completely regained composure by then. Nothing mattered, even the dregs of his memory had faded. Ian wasn't a problem, he could safely watch Nori, and think about the boy's disguise, and about his own.

Craig’s answer was simple, “Business. It was always the answer when he ventured into the upper city. He actually sort of liked it up there, it was cleaner then the lower city by far, but Craig was born to the lower city and he knew it well. He had come to appreciate its grungy beauty. He looked at Draven, suddenly remembering. It had been a few days ago, but he remembered that the other man had something that had seeming importance to him that he had wanted to discuss with Craig. Private. Craig remembered Draven saying. He also remembered that Draven had been quite agitated, but Craig didn’t hold it against him, it seemed like a childish thing that Draven and Jaydn had against each other that had gotten Draven riled up anyway. “Hey,” He said, in the most off handed manner that he could, “What was it that you wanted to talk about? In the ballroom the other day?” There were a lot of times where Craig let his curiosity get the best of him, he liked learning new information.

" Eh?" It was becoming his trademark expression
" I thought it was obvious. I'm half Korean/Japanese. I usually keep my hair a blondish color for my dad. He's German." Nori didn't mind talking about his family, even though someone else in his situation might. As his lips moved, so did his hands, multitasking gracefully without disturbance.

Draven looked a Craig for a moment and then shrugged, letting the lack of information drop. Then when he spoke about the private conversation; Draven cringed slightly and said, “It doesn’t matter anymore” He let a little bit of silence hang in the air before continuing, “Would you happen to know of a gun store somewhere around here? Preferably something on the illegal side” Draven said with a wry smile. Draven didn’t want to ruin Craig's mood and wanted to drop the point that he kissed Kyrin, and liked it. Quite a bit.
