Ryhart strode up the narrow walkways bustling with the daily rush of civilians. His target was a salesmen, highly respectable among the community. That was just a front though, he trades weapons and slaves to warlords. Ryharts job was to eliminate the trade in weapons on this end. The thing was, Ryhart needed someone to help him. Possibly take them in and teach them the trade, he continued to wander the streets looking for someone that could help him. However experience has taught him that they usually come to him.

(I've been looking for an excuse to use this character)
Reberu was following the man, he could tell that he was a fighter that much was obvious by the way he carried himself but he was not one for keeping quiet it seemed, his build was too large for him to be skilled in any form of the more silent martial arts, or in Reberu's case, Ninjutsu. He decided to keep following him, the man would be certain that he was there and he had no doubts the man would realise he is deliberatley following him. It was just a matter of time...

Ryhart noticed someone following him and turned around to face the person. He smiled when he saw the person was clearly a combatant. He crossed his arms and stood there, facing the person. When they got close enough Ryhart finally said "Lemme guess, just a lost soul looking for work? Or are you looking for a fight?"

A.B.A. barrelled down the bustling streets of Metalpolis. Her search for the Saints had brought her down to the kingdom of Chalybs where word was a well travelled arms merchant had seen one of her former allies. With only a vague description to work with she made her way through every main street she could, towing Paracelsus behind her as he clunked against the ground.
Suddenly she halted as she spotted Reberu and Ryhart standing at odds with each other. She could feel there was something going on between them and wondered if either of them was in fact the man she was looking for. With curiosity nagging at her she shifted to the form of a woman in merchant clothes as Paracelsus turned to a long wooden walking stick.
Let's see if they lead me to what I want. She thought as she kept her distance.

"Fight's are only useful if they are worth it" he said in a calm voice as he stood with his hands by his sides "But I've heard what it is that you are looking for and I want to help" without looking at Ryhart he stretched out his hand and pointed at A.B.A "As for you I've heard of what you are looking for, and I have some information that might help you" It was odd for him, he was not the type of person to give out information to people for free but she was looking for her friends. The equivalent of Reberu's family, he knew the bonds she had.
"I hear you want someone dead" with a swift flick of his wrist three Kurai seemingly appeared in his hand whilst in reality he had simpyl reached to his belt and grabbed them "I can help you with that, after all it is my job to put people into the ground, make them one of with infinite" he gave a small smile, not a sickily one but a smile none the less" the loose rags of his outfit fluttered out behind him as he spoke and he looked from Ryhart to A.B.A "But the real question is who I help first"

What? A.B.A. turned from side to side, thinking the ragged boy was talking to someone beside or behind her. Yet the bystanders all around moved on with no more than a glance and she soon realized Reberu was indeed talking to her. Who is he? How the hell does he know what I'm looking for, unless...
Coming to her own conclusion A.B.A. stepped up to the pair, her face and weapon reverting to their original form. "I suppose it makes sense you'd know I'd come looking for you. You say you can tell me what I want to know?" She looked from him to Ryhart with hesitant worry, wondering what the other man was in all this. All she knew now was that he was an obstacle in getting what she wanted, and that was something she wasn't going to tolerate.
Pulling out a small coin purse from her belt she extended it out in front of Reberu with a gentle jingle. "A payment for your immediate aid, if you'll accept me first." Her eyes darted to Ryhart with an icy glare briefly.

Reberu took the money, his eyes still on Ryhart "the money is simply for my priorities, consider the information free" he told her casting her a quick glance before quickly flicking his eyes back to Ryhart "I do not know too much, a few saints went there seperate ways after a fight somewhere, 2 of them are now part of a small fighting force, I believe one was a boy named Roxa and the other a man with 'abnormal' hands, I believe his name was Van" He paused for a momeny to let the information sink in "Currently they are both in Ignis at the estate of a Mr Infernus, they have a small fighting force who actually shouldn't be reckoned with, they mainly consist of former Ignis knights" He gave a small sniff "That is what I know anyway, I heard most of it simply from rumours and some digging around, Ardeo City, that's where I heard most of it"

Ryhart stood by idly, listening to their conversation. This boy is very well connected.... That could be bad thing. He thought. He looked at Reberu then at A.B.A and said "I'll leave you two to it and go get some Tea while you two talk this out. When you're ready, come find me at the Inn" With that said, Ryhart turned to walk away.

A.B.A.'s mouth practically hung wide open as Reberu effortlessly relayed all the details to her. Details that she had been hunting for for weeks, only to get them all in a matter of seconds.
It was enough for her to be more than a little suspicious.
"There's almost no one who knows the name Saints anymore. Did you know that? You seem to know a lot about me, and just as much about my allies. The only question I have is how can I trust you?" Her brow lowered and she stared him down with icy daggers in her eyes.

Reberu simply chuckled slightly, he had expected her suspicion after all it was not exactly easy information to obtain "My occupation is to silently enter heavily guarded compounds and single-handidly get through to the owner of said property and kill them, I've done much work in the Infernus estate, to do so I need an inside man, someone who knows what's going on inside of the estate" He crossed his arms across his chest, hiding the Kurai behind his forearm out of public sight "This is how I heard of their names" He shrugged "You can believe me or not, the choice is yours"

Ryhart walked over to the small Inn and took a seat outside in the small, covered terrace. A cup of tea was immediately brought to him and he took a small sip then looked up at the waitress and winked. 'Very good tea, some of the best I've ever had. Most of the time I go where there's war... And there's war in a lot of places." The Waitress giggled and half ran/ half jogged back to the rest of the staff. Moments later he felt the eyes of several people watching him, he grinned and kept rethinking the plan in his head.

"Hmph." A.B.A. scoffed at Reberu. Trust him or not, his details were too specific not to warrant a look. Even more so this was before she knew of Roxa's treachery, and even a trap held a chance of her getting to see Roxa again.
"I guess it doesn't really matter does it?" A.B.A. turned on her heel and made only a sideways glance back at Reberu. "Know this though, if you've given me false info you'd better pray we never meet again." And with that begun to walk away. After all, she'd gained what she came for, so there was no reason to stay any longer.

Reberu nodded with a smile before turning to the tea house which Ryhart had gone to during their conversation and took a seat next to him "Ok" he said plaintativley "You have my attention, you want someone dead now I need to know a few things, how much am I being paid, how many guards the target has and finally what the guy's done"

"I'm being paid 250,000. We'll discuss your payment as soon as I have the job laid out. The Target is a slave and weapon trader, he lives off of war and is fueled by hate. He has about 50 guards throughout his estate, though I don't plan on taking on his personal army. Only his body guards, I need you to go over the estate wall and open a small side door so I can enter. You're contract would be finished as soon as I'm in. Any questions?"

"Add a smaller sum onto my contract and I'll help you with the guards" Reberu said resting back slightly in his chair "I care not what he has done in that sense, all it has done is explain his lifestyle, he'll feel safe but with 50 bodyguards he's a paranoid man" he scratched his nose "Arms and Slaves? He no doubt knows what he trades, expect him to be overweight but surprisingly agile, He'll have slaves on his estate, they'll gladly help us if we offer them their freedom in return"
