@HellboundDunk 〝Then maybe you could be an inspiration to them, and tell these youths to play their games elsewhere.〞

Arms cross at the well-dressed woman's chest.

〝I run a bar, not a basketball court.〞

〝You did it to yourself?
The lengths boys will go to prove themselves men...〞

The suited woman sighs, although she cannot say she shares the same way of life, she understands going to such lengths to prove oneself.

〝So, then. —— What things have you done, as a real man?〞

“Oh, well, apology accepted. I kind of get it, people older than me see it that way since I live life doin’ what I want when I want. “

Pointing to his scar.

“I actually did get this from when I was a kid, I stabbed myself to prove I was a real man. Nishishi!”

@AIphaFlame » Then stirring before the concoction is strained into the chilled glass.

〝Well, not that it really matters which...〞

She adds, garnishing the freshly made martini with a twist of lemon peel, and two olives sat on a silver skewer.

〝Will that be all for now, sir?〞

@AIphaFlame »〝Let me guess. You're either here waiting on a woman that's never coming, or strictly on a business call. Am I right?〞

The bartender strikes up idle conversation to fill the wait, as she pours gin and vermouth both into an ice cube-filled mixing glass. »

Azure eyes linger on him a moment longer in cautious examination, before the well-dressed woman leans forward in a formal bow.

〝Then, I look forward to seeing you fight.
You appear to be a strong opponent.〞

@DiamoundQueen 〝That so? No wonder you don't seem all too worried, then.〞

Has Marron, her cat, under her arm. The two are wearing matching bow ties.

〝Miss you? I was more concerned you'd miss out and I'd find you slacking off.〞

King shakes her head, though finds herself unable to not smile in the cheerful kunoichi's presence.

〝Actually, I had something to ask.
Since you only just finished, how about a drink first?〞

║ Okay, I'll do a couple more starters, then may take a small break from them so I can keep on top of replies as I only have a small brain.

But if it takes me a while to get around to yours or I miss it, please don't be shy about throwing an interaction my way in the future!

A soft purr sounds, as the head of a grey striped tabby cat rubs against the young woman's ankle. And is shortly followed after by their sharp suited owner.

〝Marron. —— Forgive me, miss. She appears to be quite taken with you.〞

〝Haven't seen your face around here before.
Do you need a drink, or for me to show you the exit?〞

〝What does a man have to do to earn a stare like that?〞

A tip of her head, directed towards the gentleman across the bar who seems to have caught the assassin's keen eye. And not for good reason.

〝How are you holding up, little miss?
That no-brain brother of yours isn't leaving you to take care of everything all by yourself again, is he?〞

@MarvelousQuips 〝A superhero? You don't even have a cape...〞

She says in jest, though her serious tone of voice is a constant.

〝Well, it seems practical for the work of a secret vigilante. I couldn't guess who you were. You could be an alien, with those big eyes.〞

║ Morning. May your KOF Allstars summons be fortunate. I'll get back on track with those starters soon.

@NewMasonswxrld The sharp-dressed woman glances briefly at the phone is his hand, though not long enough to really read the text on the screen.

〝May I ask who this 'someone' is? Perhaps I can be of help in the investigation.〞

[❛ 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑮 @artfulillusion]

〝My apologies. ⎯⎯ You just look a little... immature.
I feared you had gotten a nasty scratch from an accident on the playground.〞

[𝙒𝙊𝙐𝙇𝘿-𝘽𝙀 𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂.ᐟ @RubberyJoy]

“H’aaah?! What’s wrong with my clothes?! And of course the scar on my face is real! You wanna check or somethin’?!”
