"It's complicated. I hired a new guy and he slept with the daughter of a guy I just made a deal with. Now he's pissed. I'm pissed. You get it. Never mix business and pleasure." He takes it and takes a hit off it.

"I limit my intake, but I appreciate a good treat now and then. I'm on a strict diet. I like to stay in the best shape I possibly can be in." That's why he takes his coffee black with nothing in it.

“that'a fine with me, I could use one as well.” doesn't mind their bluntness, likes it actually. gestures for the other follow as they began their walk. “not a fan of sweets?”

He takes it. "I'll try anything once. Got a light?" If not, his bodyguard likely does.

"Nice to meet you, Lyla. There are very few of us left. We're going extinct but I promise you, I will always have my manners." He lets go of her hand. "Not all of us are horrible monsters. Just some of us are."

[˖ ִֶָ 𝑳𝒀𝑳𝑨. @eternalldreams]

“ryo ..” what a pleasant surprise, that actually made her smile. “you're quite the gentleman as well, most guys aren't like this anymore.” he's definitely grabbed her attention even more now. “i'm lyla.”

"Ryosuke. Call me Ryo." He takes her hand and kisses the knuckles of it. "Yours?"

“ooh, how scary.” and she smiles back at him, not even a hint of fear in her. “and your name? or will that cost me my life as well?”

"Yes. I am the leader. That much I can say." He smiles in her direction. "Too much information & I'd have to kill you."

[˖ ִֶָ 𝑳𝒀𝑳𝑨. @eternalldreams]

“heh. I knew that, but it was worth giving it a shot.” she can't help it, she's extremely nosy. “then ... are you the leader?”

"You could definitely say that." He studies her, watching how she smokes. "Exhausted with certain aspects of my life."

a brow arched, pinching the cig between two fingers and bringing it back to her lips, inhaling a deep one prior to exhaling a cloud of smoke.

"I would prefer a coffee. " He's blunt but not impolite with his brashness. "I could use a pick me up to keep me awake."

[˖ ִֶָ𝑱𝑨𝑺𝑶𝑵. @TheSolemnBlade]

then why not accompany me? I was on my way to get some ice cream. it beats being around by yourself in the kind of silence.

"Need like ten. I don't drink or do drugs so gotta get my stress out in other ways sometimes." He nods. "Just a precaution thing. Keeps me on my toes if I'm sober and all."

"Can't exactly discuss that. Then again, you knew that, didn't you." He really can't just openly discuss this.

“I just have a good feeling about it.” she tilts her head with a cat like grin. “so what do you?” and she's not afraid to ask.

Taking it and taking a drag of it. It's just what the doctor ordered. He exhales the smoke and takes another drag before passing it back. "That is just what I needed."

“that's true, buuut ..” she looks him up and down. “you're far more dangerous than the rest of them.”

"Business." He inhales. Exhales. "Never as good as pleasure and always more complicated and just as messy if you're in bed with the wrong people." Taking another hit. The rush hitting him. That's what he loved about not being a chronic smoker. "Get my drift?"

"What man isn't dangerous?" He has a valid point. "Yes. I am." He does need better helpers.

cleaning up after you? she stares at him for a while before grinning a bit. oooh, are you dangerous? hehe .. you should get better helpers you know ~

Reaching for it. "For people like me, it seems." He takes it, bringing it to his lips. That first hit is one to savor. It's just what he needed. "It helps me relax when my nerves are ultra high." He exhales the smoke into the air.
