Distraction and Observation (Manifesto)
#6
Li luxuriated in her touch and he didn't rush to look around. He could lose and still be completely happy with the result. Sometimes it was more fun to lose. Li pulled Nhysa close and danced her around the floor. His goal was to find her mark, but he didn't really know which job she was working she worked many different kinds, but that was part of the challenge. But he was distracted by the woman in his arms just as much as those around him.

Clubs posed the same threats as the fights they'd originally met in, there could be monsters lurking, though in Manifesto it was unlikely as this was a bit too high end anyone here might be missed. They had the money to be found. But a few did show up once and a while -- mostly the human kind.

Li had already found all the exits and knew the best route out. And he scoped out several perches from which they could spy upon whoever it was that Nhysa was here to find, check out or whaterver it was. He didn't ask. He didn't ask what his dark flowers guise was, he would never give up her secrets. He enjoyed their time together far too much.

There were several potential targets. A man dancing with a woman in red. There was a dangerous looking man on the balcony looking down upon the dance floor, but he didn't look like a mouse, more like the hawk searching for prey. He was probably here doing the same thing as Nhysa, checking out a mark. They'd have to keep an eye on him to make sure things didn't get out of hand. Not that it was either of their job to take care of things like that. But it was best to avoid entanglement for both of them.

"I don't know if I've found your mouse, but there is another hawk seeking their own prey. He nodded up towards the balcony.
“What you must do," said Monkey, "is lure the monster from its hiding place, but be certain it is a fight you can survive.”
