Tony had experienced many firsts in the time he had decided to live again. Tonight was a special kind of first. He was no stranger to the murky waters of the Red Light District where the highest and lowest of society mingled in a shared passion for pleasure, but tonight was the first time he had ever felt uncomfortable.
He had decided to wear the tailored black outfit with the golden phoenix embroidered on. He had it made on a whim to commemorate his own re-birth, but when the boys had finally coaxed the story out of him, they decided to make it some kind of symbol of their revolution, a force that would continue to rise from the ashes shining all the more brilliant than before. They all decided to get a golden phoenix in some form to link them.
Luckily Tony had talked them out of getting matching uniforms. They were an underground resistance not a god damned peacock parade.
Veso and Hans accompanied him tonight while Dan and Yuri went to check in with Dr. Oborev. Underneath Veso's clothing a golden necklace rested on his chest. Hans had chosen a ring that was quite beautiful. The sacred bird's wings wrapped around the middle finger of his left hand.
Still, it was not the phoenix that caused him discomfort. He doubted anyone could make a connection unless they strip searched all three of them. His discomfort stemmed from the work he had set himself.
Claire kept her work distant from Tony. If it were any other world he would not have cared, but the Kallisti - which already had a reputation of eccentricity - could not be ignored. He had to know the danger. It not only affected Claire, but the rest of them. Still, it made him uncomfortable to do it. He even managed a small prayer as they reached their destination that Claire wouldn't find out.
