This girl certainly had a flamboyant way of speaking, didn't she? Katarina frowned lightly as she responded as though she should have been in some Shakespearean play or something. Well, no matter. The girl didn't seem to have seen whoever caused this chaos, but she did seem to have a lead. Another girl that was at the site but seemed to have left before she had arrived. Tch, late to the party. She should be more vigilant.

[color=chocolate]"Normally I'd decline working with someone."[/color] Katarina replied with a sigh. [color=chocolate]"But you seem decently competent and our objectives seem to be the same."[/color] Folding her arms against her chest, Kat's expression softened only slightly. [color=chocolate]"...Hunter, if you must. Or Rina. Now lets get moving before we loose any more time. Did you see which way this 'maiden of mystic darkness' left?"[/color]

Hopefully working with her wouldn't be a mistake. She had no intention of letting this target slip through her fingers.

Watching Penny leave, Chloe flopped back on her couch, sighing tiredly. Ah, coming back to Penrose was turning out to be quite eventful. Well, at least she had successfully dealt with the Mint for now, and managed to learn how Penny was doing. All was turning out well, save for her own plans which had been slightly slowed by her own Patron. Understandable, when your ultimate goal was their undoing in favor of something much, much, more beautiful.

[color=#794044]"Do you always make a point of making friends with those creatures? Laat's chosen or not, I care little for trivialities. They will only be a temporary ally at best."[/color]

[color=violet]"Ah, Lord Iesud."[/color] Chloe chuckled, sitting up. [color=violet]"So short sighted as always."[/color] The dragon growled lightly at this, a small headache forming. [color=violet]"Or perhaps you don't trust your own servant? You wound me."[/color]

[color=#794044]"I trust a scheming wretch like yourself less than I trust the Mint."[/color]

[color=violet]"So cruel..."[/color] Chloe chuckled. [color=violet]"You want me to break such a useful tool, then?"[/color] She continued, smiling as she walked a slow circle about her apartment. [color=violet]"Lord Iesud, to get the most out of your tools you need to care for them. Making a diamond shine takes a bit of effort, you know. No one likes a dirty uncut gem."[/color]

[color=#794044]"Don't speak to me of such things, whelp. I understand that better than anyone."[/color] He loudly replied, small sparks of static forming in the air as Chloe reached the door to her apartment. [color=#794044]"I'm merely questioning [i]your[/i] methods. Our goal is destruction. Enslavement of these pathetic creatures. She will turn on us sooner or later."[/color]

[color=violet]"And Such a thing is quite difficult, no? If you were so confident you wouldn't have hired me in the first place. Patience, lord. Penny is a valuable tool. As soon as the Mint confirms this deal we'll have quite a few allies on our hands...but in the mean time, I suppose I should add a few more to our ranks."[/color] Opening the door to her apartment and leaving it behind, Chloe walked out. [color=violet]"And if dear little Penny decides to turn on me...well. I can be very persuasive."[/color]

walking out, Chloe turned and left her apartment and the alley. Maybe she'd be contacted by the Mint soon once more? Either way, she needed to find suitable candidates soon.
