“Now. I think we’ve spent enough time indulging in matters of wants,” Rebecca fought not to roll her eyes. That was about as subtle as a tiptoeing elephant. “it’s time that we turn ourselves to the matters of necessity that gathered us here. Roku, You’ve read over the documents, I take it?”
The black haired man inclined his head, twirling his staff between two fingers languidly. “I have. But you know, and I know that I would never agree to such terms.”
He said, cutting a reproachful look the elder man’s way. Despite the light hearted way he was acting Rebecca could tell that he wasn’t going to back down from whatever issue he was talking about.
Though there were a few hisses from around the table at his uncouth response the leader of the group didn’t seemed even the smallest bit surprised or offended at Roku’s reaction. “Yes, I suppose that’s true but you cannot blame me for sending it your way first before revising. But, as I was in fact aware of your,” he paused and a corner of his mouth hitched upwards. “disposition. I have already had another agreement written up.” He waved a hand and one of the younger men seated next to Mr.Purple-face lifted up a briefcase from under his seat and handed it over. “Perhaps This,” the old man handed the package to Roku. “Will be more to your tastes?”
Roku tutted thoughtfully. “Not sure.” He said dismissively, without even glancing at the contents. “For starters, does it come with a few more zeroes attached to the end of it?”
Rebecca’s face morphed into a glower. Of course Roku would bring her into a drug deal of some kind.
Being who he was, Roku caught her look and broadly winked at her.
The conversation progressed into more business talk- not even the sort she could glean information from! All of the men in the group seemed to be ridiculously adept at talking about subjects without talking about them- and she slouched lower into the couch, leaning her head back against the material in not-so-subtle-resignation.
This was going to be the most fucking boring night at the Flame she’d ever had.
A high pitched scream echoed up from the bottom floor suddenly, garnering the whole booths attention as they all looked down through the floor to see what the commotion was about. There was a writhing mass of tangled bodies near the center of the room though that was really all one could make out from this position.
