The show is about to start--I might miss it, the thought was the first slightly panicked one Nadia had experienced in a long time.
But when it came to the most important things in her life, she had a little bit of a right to lose her cool. Like now, when the performance of 'Pretty Ballerina' was about to begin, and with the 3rd solo being the most magnificent routine since Repetto composed it
I have to make it! the swan hybrid decided.
The path through the Red Light District was the easiest one for her to take, since she'd been here before. And the buildings were low enough to where moving from roof-top to roof-top was an absolute breeze, so she didn't have to worry about milling through the crowd. Now... to find that same alleyway that had led her to the Whitestag sector, so she could sneak in...
Her disguise this time was of a 'lower noble woman', chosen so she could sit comfortably in the nose-bleed section of balconies, away from the bustle of the theatre below.
If only she could make it there. A familiar landmark caught her flashing honey-amber eyes. The Gatto Nerro brothel-house was up ahead. All she needed to do now was drop into the street and find that hidden alleyway, then dash across to find herself a good seat at the theatre proper, hopefully without any delays.
OOC: That's right, Nadia used her first exclamation mark while speaking--even though it was in her head :'D

✝✝✝✝✝✝ Jax watched as Ryth bit her manicured fingernail, he chuckled as she quickly retracted the nail from her teeth. Ryth sighed as she rubbed her hands together, she didn't want to wipe anything on her dress, she wanted...to look absolutely perfect. Tonight she was going out to dinner with her beloved Evan Silverhollow. She pouted as she thought back to the time, he should had been there already, what was taking him? Jax amused himself watching Ryth fidget, it was special day that usually lovers come together and...do stuff. Ryth was gorgeous as ever, dressed in a pink evening dress, it was new dress from Evan. Jax could tell, it had Silverhollow written all over it, it shimmered with sparkles and cut diamonds, she was the beauty of the ball....or the street. Aisha already told him to be her body guard for the night she is away from Gatto Nero, that dress is waay to beautiful for a brothel girl to have. She should be off his hands when Saleim gets here but Aisha "insisted" that she follow her to and fro. Jax silently sighed, 'I guess that's what female friendship is all about' he thought. He looked at Ryth once more before smirking, he wanted to mess with her a little. Ryth sighed "Why is he so late?" She said mostly to herself. "Maybe he...dump you for someone else" he teased. Ryth scoffed and rolled her eyes at him "You must be joking, Evan? We are talking about the same one right?" Jax shrugged "I don't know, I've heard he has someone else on the sly" he knew exactly who it was, a very interesting male person, he glanced at her from the corner of his eye. Ryth gave him a lazy look "Yes, if you know a person on the "sly" with Evan, then I certainty know too" she smiled, moving over to him, she placed a hand on the right side of his face. "You're a little to young to be trying to 1up me sweetie. So quite your teasing," she brought her hand down. "I am really worried, would he be held of something? Maybe work was to much for him and now he's in his room crying" she said dramatically, placing her hands on her face. "He should had come to me, we don't have to go out, we can just stay home" she whined in worry. Jax sighed, 'Guess that wasn't the right thing to tease her about' he glanced at her. Ryth is one of the people that actually "know" Saleim. So he needed something else to tease her about but she wasn't the only one that knew Saleim was a cry baby. ✝✝✝✝✝✝ |

Rushing quietly through the thinly crowded street, Nadia tried to keep to the shadows. She didn't want to be seen as she shot past the typical marker of the Red Light District--the Gatto Nero.
Perhaps if Nadia had stopped to think about it, being dressed as a lower Noble Woman, but wandering in the Red Light district, wasn't exactly a good idea.
Perhaps, it would even be considered normal, if her aliby were, say, that she was spying on a faithless husband?
But, regardless, she barrelled single-mindedly through the druken men and tittering, siren-like women.
Humans.
She was just about to sprint the last bit of the street, past the Gatto Nero itself, when she spotted a familiar figure in a gorgeous (because it was sparkly :3 ) dress that shimmered in the neon lighting.
Ryth, thought the swan, and began to wander towards her, before suddenly stopping herself.
She couldn't be seen, right? Oh, but what did it matter? She would just say hello, and then shoot off to the primier. If she had to, she could fly there and hang on to her costume in her beak.
As she got closer, she spotted a dramatic sigh coming from the woman, and she was speaking to that bodyguard, Jax.
Curious, Nadia approached with more caution this time. Only Ryth and the house mother, Aisha, knew she was a hybrid.

✝✝✝✝✝✝ It only took a moment when Jax was alerted about the new occupants of the road. Nothing looked out of place, no one looked suspicious but he was supposed to guard Ryth. So that meant anyone that got in 25 feet of Ryth was there to cause trouble. He glanced over, his black and gold rimed glasses shielded his gaze. He watched a man began to get closer, he frowned as the man simply ignored him and focused his gaze on Ryth. Jax signaled Gatto Nero's snipper, another guard, to stand down, he wanted to humiliate this man. "Oh may, you are...quite a beauty, huh?" the man said with a sly and dirty tone. Ryth glanced at him before continued to ignored him, from her side bag, she brought out a matching hand fan. She graciously brought it to her face, opening the fan covering all but her eyes. The man rolled his shoulders as he is interest was rejected. "Ooh, so cold" he shook his head, he looked at her while smirking. He came closer to her, his hand in his pocket before swiping it out. "Here ya go, sweet heart" he handed her some bills, he waved them in front of her, waiting for her to take the bait so they can go somewhere...quiet. He frowned when she didn't take it and he his pride cracked as she also didn't bat an eye at him or the money. He scowled "Hey, bitch, the money ain't dirty, its legit" he waved it again at her. "So take the money" he moved closer, his eyes memories every inch of the dress. He could just imagine the type of fun they'll have when they get alone. He was once again put off as she just ignored him. He glared at her, he was determined to have her and he will. "Hey!" he yelled and was about to grab at her when a hand grabbed his arm. ✝✝✝✝✝✝ OCC: hahah nope  I want Jax to interact with Nadia, he has to work for her affection, after the vday post is done I might have to promote Nadia to "Like" on Jax's Relationship list.
Sorry for the LATE reply :3 but I get where im going with this now, once Ryth is "saved", she'll speak with Nadia, leaves with saleim, Jax asks Nadia out and well...follows her--i mean ryth and Saleim to the place. Ha, Jax would so follow her. :3 |

Nadia halted when she sensed trouble, melting into the neon shadows around her. She stepped into ear-shot, watching with interest as a grubby-looking human approached Ryth.
Some words were exchanged, and Nadia was silently in awe--of the human's stupidity.
How did he not notice that guard in the shadows farther back, ready to snipe him?
Never mind that. How did the idiot not take note of the metal-human, Jax, clearly guarding Ryth?
Humans were so careless and silly, it was a wonder why they weren't extinct yet. Then she heard that man yell "Hey!" loudly, and her amber eyes reflected the scene that began to unfold.
The bodyguard metal-human...what were they called? Metal-men? She peered at the familiar Jax as she spotted his powerful grip on the fool's arm.
Come to think of it, Nadia realized, I haven't seen a human or a metal-human fight before. They had always fallen easily under her bare strikes, and her long-knife (though her technique was poor by comparison to certain other Hybrids).
This would be interesting indeed. Perhaps she would see what a human fighter, be he only partially human, was worth. And if it cleared up soon, she would stop in to say hello to Ryth, then be on her way.
For once in her lifetime, Nadia discovered she was actually making the decision to let the ballet wait...
OOC: gasp! The ballet waits for no swan!! ;3 But she certainly looks good in a tutu. I'll save that pic above and re-post it later, when they reach the performance that Nadia is going to jump in on ;'D I can't wait to see Jax kick some arse, heh

✝✝✝✝✝✝ Jax slowly looked down at the man and smirked, "It's obvious the lady doesn't have any interest in you" "Gah-let go!" the man yelled out in fear, he could feel the bruising the crackling of his bones. "Ok! I get it!" He tugged until he was let go. Jax only looked down at him, he laughed as he ran off in a panic. Ryth sighed at the tone of his laughter, it was annoying yet slightly amusing. ✝✝✝✝✝✝
OCC: jeeze ok its VERY short, go ahead a write a response, I will then write Saleim in. I need to figure out what he's gonna wear and how he's gonna show up. After that, Jax and Nadia can have some interaction before the Dance Recital. Ok I just didnt have any fight left in me >.< |

Her brows furrowed softly, and Nadia gave a muted >honk< of disgust, tucking back her chin.
What a silly human male.
And how quickly the whole matter had been settled.
It was no wonder they had this metal man Jax protecting the females in this shifty place. But all the same, Nadia decided she could sneak to see Ryth quickly, as Jax the metal man didn't bother women.
Giving an adroit glance around her, the swan moved as if gliding on the surface of a pond. The lower noble woman's strange clothing shuffled softly around a tucked waist and ballerina legs to emphasize a dancer's gait. She pulled the shawl around her arms more snugly to disguise her feathers, and pleasently approached the nicely dressed woman near Gatto Nerro.
"Ryth!"
