Tekka glanced around at the dancing bodys moving on the floor of the Allure of Darkness. They weren't dancing to live music (thank Ra) but to a DJ, looked like the Allure was packed tonight. Not surprising with the ceasefire. "Well," Tekka murmured to herself, glancing around. "Better get to work."
'Work' was of course picking pockets whilst pretending to dance and have a good time. Tekka was notorious in her clan for being a pickpocket thanks to her earlier days in the clans when the kleptomania wasn't as controled, but it was THEIR fault for leaving their stuff lying around.
After a good half-hour of carefully lightening the pockets of the dancers the Tora had decided she had earned herself a break and a meal. She tramped over to the bar, noting a few other people sitting at the bar and sipping drinks.
Alcohol was out of the question, anyone under age was marked with a black 'X' on the back of their hand when they entered the club. There was still pleny on the menu though. "Barkeep!" She grinned. "Sprite and a basket o' fries if you please!"
The barkeeper (Stan, if the nametag read true) chuckled and after giving an Irish Car Bomb to a man in a blue sweatervest he went off to fetch her order. Now all Tekka needed was a bit of conversation and everything would be perfect.

Naomi had no clue what she was even doing at the Allure. Matsuda wasn't with her, and neither was Hana, so there wasn't much of a chance on her doing much of anything while she was there. The small redhead sat at the bar, brown eyes blank.
She looked over to her right to see a girl right around her age. Naomi had noticed her stealing from other people while they were too busy dancing to notice. The Ookami rolled her eyes at this, making sure nothing she had of value was out in the open.
"Hey, Thief." she called, a bit of disgust clear in her tone. Her brother had told her that it wasn't right to be so rude to people, but he wasn't there, was he?

Tekka almost turned to the sound of the voice. Almost. Her brain had luckily caught her in time because had she responded it would have blown her cover. A few heads turned to the girl (the voice SOUNDED like a girl anyway), and Tekka hoped (REALLY hoped) that she wouldn't call her a thief again before the heads turned back. Otherwise people would start checking pockets and one injury-induced coma was quite enough thank-you-very-much.

Persephone was one of the people whom had turned her head in response to the 'thief' statement (having nearly replied 'yes?' herself), although she hadn't been one who needed to check for her wallet. As a former pick-pocket, she had plenty of experience to tell her how to keep her valuables on her person.
Instead of worrying about that, she instead looked for the source of the voice, hoping for something interesting to watch while she drank. However, it soon became clear she was looking over whomever had spoken. Oh well, she'd just wait for something else to happen.

When the girl didn't answer, Naomi simply shrugged. At least she wasn't dumb enough to actually answer to that. After a few moments people had stopped looking for the source of the comment and she tried again.
"Okay, Blondie." she settled with calling her. "You gonna answer now or ignore me again?"

Tekka turned her head to the sound of the voice this time and grinned. "This better?" She asked, noting that the girl looked rather familiar, although she couldn't place just where she had seen her. She cocked her head to the side. "You're a bit rude, did you know that?" The Tora commented, grabbing her Sprite as Stan placed her order in front of her.

Naomi shrugged at the girl's question. "Not the first time I've heard it, don't bother me." she replied. "'Sides, you're Tora, huh?" she asked though she had already seen her wristband. She held up her own green one. "We're enemies."

Persephone, having been semi-on-the-look-out for anything interesting, quickly turned her focus towards a nearby conversation, coming from a foreign redhead and a very familar blond- Tekka. Persephone skillfully eavesdropped on the fresh conversation, and already she could tell the younger girl wasn't someone she particularly liked. Blunt rudeness- although something she herself praticed often- was something Persephone didn't carry a fondness towards. It was probably the redhead's luck she had enough self-control not to get involved... for now anyway.

Tekka shrugged. "No one really takes that all that seriously with the ceasefire going on." She sipped her soda. "I have a couple good friends in Ookami, plus my brother...s..." She really wasn't all that ready to consider Aiden her brother after landing Jack in the hospital. "So how about a name?" She asked, extending a hand and putting on a friendly smile. "I'm Tekka, Tekka King."

Naomi looked at the girl's hand for a moment. "Naomi Megumi." she said, deciding on not shaking Tekka's hand. Ceasefire or not, she had learned that there wasn't many people you trust too much. "My brother, Matsuda's in Ookami too, you know him?" she then asked, a little curious. Her big brother always was a softy, despite the times you got him mad. Something like the clans wasn't a big deal to him.

Tekka frowned at Naomi ignoring the proffered hand and let it drop. She nodded at the question though. "Yeah, he's mentioned you before, I thought you looked kinda familiar..." She smiled, forgetting to mention Hotaru. Not noticing that it was a fortunate stroke of luck that her mind had slipped. "Have you ever met Jack? He's my brother, about yea high," The Tora reached her hand up to about Jack's height. "Brown hair, arm in a cast at the moment, likes the piano."

Naomi didn't have to think long. "Haven't seen him." she told her. "I'm new, so I don't know that many people yet." she explained, sounding a bit bored. "Does he steal from people like you do?" she asked. Other people around her couldn't hear them from the loud music playing, so there wasn't any real reason for her to deny it at the given moment.

Tekka shook her head. "Nah, not usually anyway. I'm pretty sure he's done SOMETHING before but I've never gotten him to admit to it." She began munching on her fries and paused, holding out one of them to Naomi. "Fry?" She offered with a grin, "They're crispy and delicious!" She sang.

Naomi looked down at the fry for a moment, debating on if she should take it or not. She shrugged, deciding one little fry wouldn't be that bad, and took one from Tekka. "Thanks." she murmured quietly, and somewhat reluctantly.

Tekka grinned. "No problem. If you want any more feel free to take 'em." She could always order more after all, why people went dancing with so much money in their pockets was beyond her, but she wasn't complaining. Not at all.
"If you don't mind me asking," She started, taking another sip of soda as she did so. "What brought you here, and how did ya see me working the floor?" That was what she called it anyway, who cared what it meant otherwise.
