It was quite late when a car with darkly tinted windows pulled up near to the D-Corp building. The engine was cut and a man stepped out of the driver's seat, walking around to open up one of the side doors to allow for a woman to step forth, "Are you sure you want to do this? Who knows what might be going on here." The idea that she was willing to snoop around alone wasn't something he really liked, after all if she were somehow captured the rest of the coven wouldn't know where she was.
She reached a hand out to pat the man on the shoulder, "I will be fine Than, just a little look around is all." She had to know what the place was about. After all the man who was sending her notes offering her a child to adopt seemed to know exactly what she was. Such information wasn't so easily secured, he must have good connections, "You stay with the car, I won't be gone to long."
She only meant to do a bit of peeping tonight. If things went well maybe she would see about checking out more of the inside of the place. Once she was comfortable with it, once she knew that it wasn't a, elaborate trap she would see about making an appointment with those in charge. Then she could meet the child in person that they wanted her to take in.

The facility was dark and though there was a few people here and there the building was generally quiet. There was however, one man who was up and around. The red head who examined his glasses softly had just left his office and left the door behind him unlocked. There was little of value in his office and all his weapons and gear was locked up in an entirely different room.
After grading some of his students papers he thought it would be a good idea to turn in for the night. He wasn't really tired, and was rather indifferent with being up or going...home? He wasn't exactly sure what he was going to do but he turned down the hall and padded his way softly. He wore no shirt, his dragon tattoo's were were apparent. Like the man usually was he was indifferent to his appearance as well to the temperature in the building. He also wore no shoes but only had his foot wraps as well hands wraps and his kendo pants.
He wondered briefly when he should have his next class for self defense. His mind wandering onto many different subjects as he solemnly continued his way down the hall.

The woman was peeking in windows in a manner that was very much not lady like, curious as to what could be going on inside. The building was massive she had found as she had circled it, there were a lot of people that she could sense within and not only humans either. There were others as well, she could sense things that weren't human within either.
It was a shame she couldn't see what was going on in the higher up windows she thought to herself. She circled around again so that she could peek into the front door.
She could almost hear Than sighing though, he never did like the idea of her skulking around like a common theif when she was anything but common. Then again the boy was biased being her familiar, "Mmm? What have we here?" She murmured, feeling someone heading in her direction. Was one of the humans who were working within coming out? She almost rubbed her hands together. Excellent! Maybe she could question them?

Lost in his own thoughts Kuyoja rolled his shoulders, the bones realigning with a snap and went about re-wrapping the hand wrap on his right hand. It was as if the many eyes of the dragons intertwined on his arms could see and alert him of danger for without even looking up he slowed his pace and stopped just in front of the front door and finished wrapping his hand before he looked up.
It was like a sixth sense as he calmly observed the area before he finally moved and pushed the glass door open before finally stopping and noticing the woman. He said nothing to her at first as if quietly contemplating what to say her.
"Is there something you need Miss?"

Lucrecia's eyes went wide with surprise then a smile spread over her painted lips. Now this was interesting she thought to herself, he'd noticed her without her having to announce her presence. It would seem like he was quite observant for being human, "Hello there." She said, moving forward out of the shadows, "Actually yes, you could be of great help to me."
Now lets see if he were a gentleman and could be helpful in answering some questions for her, "Just curiosity being piqued is all. Do you work here?" She asked, sounding hopeful.

Quietly looking over the woman he gave a very blank expression to her as if wondering if he should just turn away. HIs vacant expression gave the impression he didn't care one way or another as well. He was a very ...complicated man.
"Depends on the question of course Miss. I am Mr. Tsuzuki. Yourself?" He asked offering the woman a hand for him to shake. Despite the fact his hand wraps lived on him nearly 24hrs a day they were clean.
He wasn't sure what to make of her, there was something unsettling about her presence. And he was only human so despite his otherworldly sense he could only assume the woman was what she was a human being.

She took his hand, shaking it, "Its nice to meet you Mr. Tsuzuki, my name is Lucrecia Belladonna." She gave him her best smile, squeezing his hand before releasing his hand. He didn't seem so bad though his gaze was a little strange, slightly empty. Not a bad thing some would see that as enlightened, as if he weren't worrying about anything, not thinking about anything.
"I am curious about this place, those within." She said, looking up at the massive building, "One wishes to know before hand all about places that approach them before they get mixed up with them."

A slight frown tugged at the corner of his mouth at her words. Mixed up? He wondered if she was going to be a teacher here. God only knows they needed more.
"There are many within. Young, old, animals mostly." He explained trying to be vague enough to prompt her for more detail questions. It was best to get to know a person before giving away information for free. Not that he was shrewed in such a way that he would be unwilling to help the woman. But he had just met her. It was best to not give out too much information to strangers.
"What is your business here?" He asked shifting his body to face her fully, he was a tall man and built well. There was no wonder to why he taught melee.

Lucrecia tilted her head to the side, looking passed Kuyoja to the door wondering what was inside, "Many? Hmmm." She tilted her head to the side in a thoughtful manner, "And what are these people like?" Her bright eyes turned their attention to him. She wondered if they were like him, other people with that blank expression that made them hard to read.
"Mmmm, my business? I told you already. I am interested in this place." She said, "Nothing untoward I promise." Hard to say that with a straight face when one was skulking about in the middle of the night though.

Kuyoja turned his body slightly to the right, the dragon tattoo's seem to be staring at the woman in the poor light. He cracked a hand the motion non-threatening.
"I see. Most of the facility are...around during the day. They are like most humans, every single one different to approach and react differently as well." He replied his hand moving to remove his glasses and inspect the lens as if it were smudged.
"If you come back in the morning I am sure someone would give you a tour." He continued looking as if he had concluded with this conversation.

Lucrecia gave a little laugh, seeming quite amused as if she should have known that she would be instructed to return when the sun was up and when most people were up and moving about their business. She crossed her arms over her chest, head tilting to the side, "I'm afraid that returning in the morning would be quite impossible for me." She told the man.
She gave a humming sound as she thought on it, "A tour would be nice though, ah what a pain." Come in the morning to get a tour, huh? Why couldn't they have convenient midnight showings for the night owls of the world? If she called ahead maybe, then again if she called ahead then there would be a far to large group of people knowing exactly what she was and when she was going to show up.
"So what is it that you do here Mr. Tsuzuki? You don't look like a tour guide so I doubt you could help me there." In fact he looked more like something out of one of those Kung Fu movies that one of her Coven members loved so much. Was it just her or did that tattoo look a bit like it was watching her? She tried to shrug off the feeling, she was just nervous because of where she was and what she was doing that was all.

He only gave her a blank look, he couldn't understand why she couldn't come back in the morning. Maybe she was only here for the night...but still a little last minute to be hoping for a tour.
"I am guessing you have to be somewhere tomorrow.." He started with a refrained sigh as if this was a disturbances for his evening plans.
"If you must see the building I suppose I can show you around. But we will be quick. What do you need to see? Or want to know?" He asked turning to face her fully.
"I am a teacher here." He replied to her question bluntly though it wasn't out of meaness he was just to the point.

She gave a little nod of her head, "You could say that, I will be in bed tomorrow." She said, not caring how he took her words. They could be taken in any number of ways and it was always interesting to see how people would interpret what she said.
"You would show me around?" She seemed to be debating something with herself, she had only come to snoop but if she could get a surprise tour of the place... without anyone knowing she was here aside from the one showing her around, "Yes, that would be excellent!" She was quite pleased by this turn of even.
She paused in her excitement to stare at the man, eyes going wide then she lifted a hand in an attempt to smother laughter, "Teacher? Really? I am guessing you don't teach art or math, am I right?"

In bed? The corners of the man's mouth turned downwards ever so slightly in a frown, though it was still hard to tell if he was actually frowning, but he had tensed a bit at her comment. But he turned towards the building he had just recently excited and using his pass was able to get back in.
He held the door for her, his gaze taking in her look once more as if appraising her threat. Weither he discovered anythign different about her in his analasis it was unclear as he didn't say or betray his thoughts with his movements. Instead he continued on as if he hadn't looked at her at all.
"You do understand that there are parts of this facility that was out of bounds. I can only show you the general halls and some of the rooms we work in. Is that clear?" He said his gaze moving from her to behind her as if expecting someone else to show up for this bizarre middle of the night romp.
After she had gone into the building he closed the door behind them and the click of the lock was loud enough in the quiet building tobe heard. THe door was relocked it seemed, only Kuyoja could let her back out. Unless that is she tried to flee out of a window or something. Now Kuyoja knew he was too tired to be doing this....he was assuming the worst of this woman just because of her strange request. Moving past her, he started.
"This is the main waiting room. This would be where you started by giving your name and the like." He said with a vague wave in the direction of the receptionist's desk.
"And I teach battle classes." the answer came late as if he had been considering ignoring her last question all together. But even as the words came out of his mouth he was moving down the main corridor. "Don't fall behind.." the words seemed to hold a bit of a threat in the undertone. As if he would definately he on the watch for any suspiciois behavoir from her.

Lucrecia did her best to keep from laughing more as what she thought was a frown appeared on the lips of the man. He was a strange one though at the same time he made her curious with the way that he seemed to hide his emotions so well. It made her wonder if maybe he were some sort of familiar like Than. She knew that some of her kind preferred to make them without any sort of emotion, not her thing but it was possible. He didn't have the same scent as one though, a familiar normally had the faint scent of their master's blood.
Maybe he was only a man who was in complete control of his emotions to an extent where he just didn't appear to have them? She came out of her musings when she heard the click of a lock behind her. She turned to look over her shoulder at the door then back to Kujoya doing her best not to give any outwards signs of the rush of panic she felt. He wouldn't or at least shouldn't be able to tell what she was right? He had no reason to trap her in here for negative reasons maybe he was just being cautious?
She looked around the reception room then gave a smile, "Well since we have already given our names this place isn't to important for us, huh?" She said, and was more then happy to walk along at his side down the corrider, "The halls in this place are massive." She mused out loud to herself. There had been mention in one of the notes about the corporation working with dragons but she hadn't quite believed it. The way the place was built though made her wonder, they needed halls big enough for the beasts to roam around in after all.
Lucrecia couldn't help but laugh this time when he told her not to fall behind, "Your not exactly a social butterfly are you, Tsuzuki?"
