It was time for a nighttime stroll.

A beautiful young woman walked the streets in an elaborate emerald coat. The silky coat shimmered with golden accents. Her black hair ran down her back with twin buns on either side of her head. Pink flower clips with real pearl centerpieces held the buns in place while decorating them. Her boots matched the coat and were pointed with a thin, block heel. They clicked against the cement as she took graceful strides down the sidewalk. Her curious eyes scanned the area. Underneath the coat was a form-fitting pink qipao. She wore black pantyhose underneath it that could only be seen via the side slits of the qipao. The coat was closed and covered her entire body. It included a belt that she tied into a knot that kept the coat closed.

The Zhujiang clan was new to the island. They did not live here before as far as Xia could recall; she didn't even remember visiting here. All of the buildings were alien to her for the most part. While there were certain chains that did make its way into China, most of the stores seemed to be places created by island residents. However, perhaps some were just chains that existed outside of Asia. It was hard to tell. She felt thankful that she knew multiple languages, or this transition would be even harder. Paranoia flooded her subconscious as she took this rebellious step towards her independence.

She had no fighting skills and never left the house without her guards or siblings before. She was used to being inside a protective bubble that moved with her wherever she went. Now she was completely on her own though. There were no guards in front, behind, or even hiding out somewhere nearby. None of her siblings were nearby as far as she knew. She wasn't sure if they were asleep, partying, or doing something else. Her parents had no clue that one of their youngest daughters snuck out the mansion. She felt a sense of freedom as she walked down a well-lit street in Downtown Manta Carlos.

Yet she did feel a tinge of fear. Would she regret doing this?

Being out this late was an activity that was more than expected from Klaus. Lurking around being shady was a literal job requirement, one he was very skilled with. He'd just finished up a very casual drug deal, and was now alone in a back street, gazing up at the clear night sky and nursing a cigarette. The way the smoke drifted up, mixing with his vision of stars, was almost poetic.

He didn't care all that much for poetry. He could appreciate it, but once you started pushing all the metaphors and hints, foggy, pointless melodramatic nonsense, it leaned towards outright annoying. Sometimes you needed blunt, to the point, to be taken and pushed to properly look at certain things. No pretty words and excuses.

He needed a soda. Klaus made his way into the brighter parts of the ever alive Manta Carlos city, taking his time to appreciate all the sights, smells, and feelings. This was his city, and he loved every single inch of it. It was nothing compared to the strip, but with the time, neon lights were still making the downtown streets glow. Klaus stopped at a vending machine, listening to the hum, blueish light from the machine making the scene just a bit more eerie.

He heard the click of heels, and there was a new, refined scent in the air that spiked his interest. He got his fizzy sugar drink, then turned to go find the source of his curiosity. It was a pretty little girl. Of course. Wasn't it always, in situations like this? He could already see the whole setup in his head, playing out very sweetly, with Klaus as the villain and this woman as the naive, but spirited, young heroine. He'd antagonize her, and she'd grow from it somehow, almost losing hope but eventually triumphing over evil men who live in the dark.

Definitely poetic. He really didn't like poetry, but games were an entirely different matter, and when he could, he liked to play with the rules. Klaus approached the young chinese woman, wide and unflinching smile on his face, cigarette in one hand as he took a sip of his soda with the other.

He didn't make any sudden movements that would make her flight instinct kick in. Instead he was slow, but got far too close, invading personal space. Overly friendly. His posture wasn't threatening, because he knew how to balance these things. Rub people the wrong way, though stay just pleasant enough to keep them around.

"Evening, miss!" the kingpin chirped, tilting his head. He looked her over more thoroughly from behind his sunglasses. He was, of course, a fan of the eye candy, but far more focused on what her appearance gave away about her.

Everything was expensive. From the styles, quality, and way she held herself, she seemed to be someone important and wealthy. Who was known to pull stupid shit like this, but with status added in? Some kind of rich kid, from a family still involved in high society shenanigans, possibly even royalty. His smile twitched. Oh, that was too fucking perfect, wasn't it? Ridiculous. He both wanted to mock this gift and embrace it.

"I haven't seen you around before, and I know everyone. New, then, I'm guessing?" he asked, beaming. "Welcome to Manta Carlos! Always nice not being the only one who wanted to feel the cool air and see the stars. Gorgeous, aren't they?" His aura warmed up the space between them, however, so it wasn't very cold anymore. "I'm Klaus. I hope you'll give me the pleasure of knowing your name in return, doll."
