It had been a long time since she'd been in China and she'd never been alone before. Her handlers were always with her before and then Moscow and she soon found Nox. This was the first time she'd been away without any other Atharim around. It was both freeing and disconcerting.
Aria pulled her long leather coat around her as she entered the restaurant. The weather was still as brisk as Moscow in these late winter months. But she did it more to hide the single sword. She still missed the unique sword of old she had. One day she promised herself she'd find the bastard who took it for experimental sake. Or rather he would find her, but right now there were other matters to attend to. Food then search out Lei Hou.
The place was well lit and there were several locals and a few other foreigners around. One in particular felt of curiosity and edge the chair out in invitation. She wasn't unattractive, but it was neither the time nor the place for extra-curricular activities. She had an assassination to plot, but curiosity was always a draw, particularly if she could play to it and make feelings worse.
Aria shook her head. The darker thoughts had become prevalent as the days grew farther and farther from finding out Lucas was gone. Her heart fell even farther with each memory. The snowballs in Moscow. Aria pushed the thoughts away and focused on the light on what he'd want her to do. She took a deep breath and forced one foot in front of the other and pulled the chair out further. Her Chinese was rusty, but she asked polietly, "Mind if I join you?"
