The man grinned. "I thought that might be what you were after kiddo. However, if you two were sent 'ere on a job, you'd better prove you wouldn't double cross me eh? Otherwise we just can't do business."

As soon as the door shut, Lexie spun around to demand answers, but the young girl put a finger on her lips, and lead her into another room at the end of the hallway, which only became visible after they approached it. It was reasonably empty, except for a couple of crates, and a large vat that was covered, but a foul smell seeped from it. Elizabeth sat herself down on one of the crates.

"So, Lexie Rivers huh? I had a feeling you and your partner Wes would show up eventually... after all, you don't have any souls collected do you?" Lexie felt herself flush at that statement, but remained quiet. "Anyway, I can get you what you need darling, provided that you leave me be of course. So, how many do you want?"

The weapon remained silent for a moment, then switched the topic. "If you're the one actually selling Kishin Eggs, then why separate me from Wes? The number we want would have to be decided together."

"Oh dear you weapons are so submissive! Can't decide anything without your Meister. But, its just a precaution deary. We couldn't have you turn on us now, so its easiest to split the group up, as they're usually useless without each other to assist them." Well that made sense, so the man Wes had found probably was in on the whole business as well. But, this woman didn't know how they as a pair functioned luckily.
