  Zane sat, appearing to slowly savor his coffee, but he was actualy using a sound amplifier in his ear that could also filter out other background noise to eavesdrop on the conversation between Chikage and another individual that his insincts told him was very dangerous. That was supported by the way she spoke to Chikage and what passed between them. At the last part, Chikage wispered something, and he had to crank the volume up to catch it. [i]Interesting.[/i] He thought. [i] Not terribly relevent, or informaive. But intersting anyways. It appears that either that umbrella is importaint or the circumstances aroung how she got it are. [/i] He dismissed them from his thoughts as he finished his coffee, paid for it, and got up to look at the requests posted. [i] Marshmallows? Hehehe, some one else must have a twisted sence of humor. No, that one pays too little. That werewolve looks interesting, but it also looks like a pain in the ass. A legendary weapon of legendary powers? Sounds like a fake. A possable new ally? I think I'd end up killing him. Stealth mission?[/i] He suddenly laughed loudly. [i]No. Racing bike? Scrap metal. So, S or SSS? That triple-s looks fun, but, as the highest reward its going to have the most people who also want to do it, dividing the reward between them. Also, working on a team is not my style. [/i] He glanced at Chikage and the newcomer out of the corner of his eye. [i]A parsol huh? I wonder...[/i] He didn't finsh that thought. He looked back at the reward and its almost ridiculous number of zeros. [i] Even divided, that is a hefty sum, and money is what I'm here for. I'll take it.[/i] He approched Chikage but noticed the Rook and instead, focused on it. [color=9966cc] "Well, what have we here?[/color] He heard the noise of it's mechanisms. He bared his teeth into a mad grin. [color=9966cc]"Not bad craftsmanship, for an oversized tin bucket.[/color] He said, rapping it's armor with his fist. [color=9966cc]"I wonder, I wonder, when I take you apart, what will I find, hmmm? What. Makes. You. Tick.?"[/color] He asked, addressing the thing.
