He spoke of growing up this side of the tracks. Aria knew his file, new what he had grown up like. Aria was sure she'd not want to get into a fight with him. That kind of childhood had been even more dangerous than her own. Life was not all fun and games for some as a child.
Aria hadn't been in the bar long, her drink had yet to even arrive when Aria felt the drakaina die. The connection that had allowed Aria to track it broke and Aria felt it's dying moment. It was always harsh look at reality, but usually it was Aria who was doing the killing, it was expected. This had not been her doing. She had let it live, had let it search for a new kill. But what could take out a drakaina so easily. It had been eager and hunting only moments before.
The sudden loss of connection made Aria pull her bubble back up around her. The emotions in the bar muffled, but not before the Privilege gave a sharp spark of surprise. Both their drinks arrived at the same time. Aria had no intention of drinking it when she came in, but now she took a swallow to drown the lost connection in the dull burn of a too strong drink.
"Smoke?"
Aria looked at the Privilege with a feigned smile, faking her own emotions was easy, she had plenty to pull from. He nodded to the door. Aria shook her head, "No, but I'll join you outside."
Aria didn't wait for any hesitation. Something had killed the drakaina, he probably had his own security detail, but there were few things that could kill a monster that could see into the future. And none of them pleasant.
Aria dropped what little cash she had on her on the counter. She reached into her pocket and made sure the sword was free of the bindings that kept is in it's sheath. There was no telling what was outside. She dropped her shields and focused on the one soul who was not here, only to find that he was. Aria sighed, stupid night to follow me Dane. As if he could hear her thoughts as she could feel his ever calm sitting out of sight.
A rush of cold air swept over the room as Aria pushed the door open and stepped outside. She didn't look around, if he wanted to be seen he would not be hiding. And there was no point in looking, he'd been following her nearly since they had met and she had seen nothing of the man.
Aria wanted to walk in the direction the drakaina had gone, but she had come out here under other pretenses. When he joined her, Aria smiled, "Aria, by the way."
. Aria paced back and forth. She wanted to be else where, but she didn't want to leave such an important man to the likes of whatever lurked in the shadows.
