Dantalion was a name that brought fascination with her. The flower was sure that she would like to know a little bit more about the man. The fact that no one knew his face was even more interesting. This might be the kind of person that Narcissa could use for her new ideas. With that, the two had made an appointment, one that was a bit difficult to arrange. She would not be able to see his face, but she got ideas from how Sonya handled things. The moon was definitely something that was of use and thus she had arranged two seats, it were like little boxes. The sort of 60ths table that you wanted to see. You had a table in the middle with two sort of couches on the opposite of the booth. But she had also taken the one behind her, so you had the corner one and the next. She had specifically said that she would need space and the room would be for her. They could discuss whatever it was they needed.
With her back to the booth in the corner, Narcissa had taken a seat. Her hair wavy and loose was just there to shine away and keep the attention of her face. Her eyes and cheekbones hidden by a great big pair of sunglasses. It wasn't prohibited to go out to an establishment like this and she had ordered some fries, to be less suspicious and she was scrolling on her phone. She still felt visible and vulnerable underneath her sunglasses, she rather had her mask, but that would be weird. Now she would have to see how it would go and hoping that Dantalion would even show up, because that would be a flop and she would eat here fries for nothing, yay gaining weight. Hm, should she inform some other people?

He felt exceedingly exhausted as was the usual in his life. The world often void of intense hues as colors slowly faded before one day reaching a dark shade of gray that seemed to cast a veil over all that was around. It was only a few of his special vices and true awakenings almost as it felt that added color again. Dark if not demonic intense urges that ran through his very core as if each step and breath had two living entities experiencing them in this meat shell he lived in. A burning hunger that was ever presence that could only be filled by a true essence he respected and desired of another. A carnal demon of many faces and creative intents. Dantalion and his human host... His entire being felt like a junky in withdrawal the longer he had to where this veil of normality. Even know as the man wearing anthers face and form similiar in size and shape to his own by the face morphed thanks to a donation of flesh he'd cleaned and butchered allowed the sunglasses and hood up man she saw before her be a different face then his true one. A demon of masks and ulterior faces. It was only fitting... Mainly so if he found what she said interesting and lucrative given even he had basic needs and necessities. An worst case he could always just try and make a meal of her if she said anything he disliked in dealings. He felt a rock in his very soul as he walked up as well. Masked as she was... He couldn't help but imagine the art and design he could make from one like this. His teeth secretly slicing into his tongue to tide off the thoughts of what creation he could do with such a canvas. But even with such dark thoughts and creation swimming in his mind. Outward he would just appear a tired, weary looking young man probably roughly in his forties given his current false appearance he'd taken. His face covered by merely a hood and sunglasses...
"I normally don't really do the whole meeting thing, It just makes things a little tedious and odd for me. But then again I do need more setup in this town. My last venture didn't go to well with the blonde chick and her little clubhouse." He'd say in a raspy voice. Not his own voice but a thickness to it that seemed to at times carry over even in a new husk. "Not really what I expected... Pretty courageous to meet people like me upfront." He'd say as his breath carried heavily on each word. His eyes tired but even hidden behind the dark framed glasses carried a hint of hunger to them. The problem of ever getting close to a man like him was it only encouraged such sensations even more.

She would not be able to see him but she noticed in the corner of her eye that someone would sit in the booth behind her. She was not sure if it was Dantalion but it made a lot of sense so she would just wait. She had taken the spots so it was just this way. She wasn't sure how else to start but he started talking to her while she checked the menu.
"I am flattered you came in that case." She said softly but hard enough for the person behind her to hear. She had not directly an idea who the blonde and her clubhouse was but she would just let him continue. "A little danger in life is what is necessary. Your online handle sparked interest and I wondered if no one knows your face, how you gain information." She smiled while talking and moved her hair a little away while she would just sit a little. She had to admit that it was interesting to try and get a look at the person behind her. She had to use everything to sit still and to focus on just the conversation. "Because I am looking for people that can gather information for me. A person alone can only get so much information you see. I need people to be my eyes and ears while I can't be there you see. The question if you can do something like that for me and what you would like in return?" She wasn't sure how to else make this talk but this was the only way she could convince him to do that and well she could definitely give him something in return, whether that be money or wahtsoever. She would just see. The conversation was brought quickly forward but that is how she handled her stuff, time was money was a saying but time was more gossips for her.

He seemed distant but easy going somewhat all at once. His body moved in a relaxed way, As if he was any overworked middle aged man in Japan. Of course his face wasn't really his own so he wasn't middle aged but allot of his exhausted and tired behaviors purely came from his own natural boredom that twisted into a form of never ending exhaustion in his behaviors and mannerism. He drew in slow and heavy breaths that are for the most part silent as they could be.
He sat comfortably with his hands folded listening to her speak calmly and collected with tired eyes. The look of exhaustion only somewhat changed cause of his serious stare that seemed to somewhat break through the tired exhaustion. "I see,... You know I hadn't really considered it before but I suppose my quirk could be beneficial or such interests. I normally only use my abilities for certain passions and my personal interests." He said tilting his head watching her curiously with a serious undertone his voice seemingly to carry very little noticeable emotion. His voice as plan as his looks.
He did need forms of income and money at times was hard to come by. His personal ventures and 'work' was always more of a personal nature that didn't really yield much income as a reward and instead paid in other ways. "It sounds like you want a spy? A eye or ear in the crowd or closer?... Hmm.. I might be able to help. I guess ti depends on the situations. I highly value discretion and my privacy as well." He'd say in semi explanation.

Yes, yes, he understood! She shouldn't show any excitement on her face though but having someone in her team that no one even knew the looks off, wasn't that the most precious thing to have. Narcissa felt a little giddy that she had managed to convince this man to come and meet her but also that he did not seem to deny it in the first matters. She nodded, "Exactly." But she would get people only focus on their own stuff and own goals and that would make it difficult too. Although she was excited his plain voice almost gave her the creeps, now she had spoken and met a lot of people in her life so it seemed to go fine but sometimes, it would just give her goosebumps. But she put out the offer and said there would be something in return, now hopefully she could provide that something that he wanted, but he had questions first and she tried to remain calm, which seemed to work pretty well. That's why Narcissa nodded, "Yes."
She wasn't sure about the closer yet but that might be highly possible, so it was better not to lie to him about it. "Both actually, if you have a preference for something that is, of course, possible, but as I said, I can't be everywhere and someone with your gifts, well that's just something wonderful and it would be a shame not to use it. I would understand your own privacy, of course, it is definitely not gaining partners or talking to them, I will do that, but some people simply spill their games, their assets when in random locations and I can't be there. If you overhear something like that or have a conversation with someone like that, you should be able to tell me and I will handle it further." Or Ndeye or Niso maybe, she would see about that in the future, but it had to be made sure that Dantalion did not feel like he had to take care of everything, "Basically you do your daily business and if you bump into something worthwhile you can inform me through my phone and then I will take care of the rest." It was maybe highly important for such a man as him to keep pointing to that, that his life would not change much, he would only give the information he possessed about others to her. Though she would lie if she said she wasn't interested in his identity.

He kept his breathing slow and the plain looking stare he gave beyond the false fleshy appearance he currently held always made it somewhat hard for people to tell what he wanted or was feeling. If he actually had any emotion that was easier to read upon his face or body language it was often simply a false appearance to aid in his trickery or attempts to gain what he wanted. Playing a role often as it were. But of course this was not such an occasion even if the woman before him was quite the delicious vision in her own right as well. "Really?" He'd say with a slight smirk a little genuine grin upon these foreign false lips. She had intrigued him lightly or perhaps even amused him one might say. "Anyone has ears for the world around them, But I imagine you'd have more direct targets in mind or people to keep and eye one for money? I do hear of things occasionally but if you have anything specific I can perhaps consider looking into things. I am a ever changing face in the crowd so most never remember me if I have my way with things." He'd say curiously semi gauging what she might have to say as well as leaving it open for her to consider his words from other angles as well.
"Selling information is something I've considered before. But most of the time I am careful with my targets so information isn't usually valuable about them by the time I have finished with my projects. But I do see merit in your idea and dealings. Maybe tell me a bit more of the whole idea of it all as you see it. I definitely am willing to fully hear you out at least." giving light intrigue but wanting to hear her sell it of sorts. Curious to see what all she might have had to say on the matter. Deciding how he'd move forward pending on her movement forward.

Never before in her whole life did she had to recruit someone, as the daughter of the governor, she was the one that was recruited to try the first program for heroes in Barbados, she did not have to do anything for that. People always lined up for her and now even though knowing the political charm and fascination of people, she had no idea how she would be able to reach anything else the way she wanted. How would she convince people to work with her if she had such a short temper and patience for people. If she did not dare to trust anyone, she was sure that just asking people to be her eyes and ears, she could not actually miss something or be backstabbed, because it wasn't as if she would give something away from herself, she was Daffodil, that was all they needed to know.
She shook her head mildly when he said she probably had targets. But what he said next was interesting, if she did have a specific target she could still use Dantalion, now that was a great offer and she smiled with the idea. "It can be a matter of both, sometimes you will be surprised how much specific crowds know or how high officials randomly talk in random locations but at big events like Shinagawa I cannot possible talk to everyone, for example. I mean every situation can be discussed but you meet other people than I do and when they share some interesting information I request you share it with me. It is definitely an option if you do not mind to send you to potential targets if I have them." This was fascinating, his quirk was, the way he handled it and the way he thought, yes, he felt sluggish maybe but that was maybe a fascade for this face and she was definitely interesting to watch and work with him.
She nodded as he asked her for more information, "You see because I cannot be everywhere I cannot help others, I sell information to the highest bidder but also make sure to get something in return. I can offer you money if that's something you are interested in, but for example if you hear something interesting about a pro-hero or another villain it can save some of us, it can bring safety to a job like that of ours, it can inform us on how the government is treating us or where an attack will be. Such as an attack on the tax market, I can tell you where it is and why it is for but there is so much more going on, I can't do that all by myself. Like I said, imagine an auction like Shinagawa, there is only so many people I can talk to before we had to get out of that place." She gave a wry smile, hoping this would help selling her job to him, because she wouldn't know how much more to tell and explain about it.

It was a simple enough request as far as he felt, He heard words of secrets before when wearing the face of other poor souls. When you appeared as a friend or another being people always spoke more freely. Of course unless he was specifically after information once couldn't truly say when such things would arise or reach his ears. But even still it seemed a simple and request that could aid them both truly. He didn't seem to find any reason why he should decline. An if things ever went beyond his accepting he would simply slip away from them given they too didn't know his true face as of yet.
"So basically, you might tell me where things are interesting and I'll take a stroll with a new face and gather what I can? I can wear any face as long as I have the resources needed to do so. From what I hear I can accept such requests in the future. However should these go against my interest I'll warn you now I'll slip away just as easily as I've arrived. As long as that and my extreme need of discretion is understood. Then I think we can agree to work together." He'd say in simple explanation as he let out a small tired sigh as well as clearing his throat briefly there after. It seemed he had a partner to make some money with... It could help when it came to his true passions as well. For now she'd have his services. He could appreciate another person of shadows. Even if he knew little of her what he did now did have him feeling some sort of perhaps mild kinship for another walker of shadows. If it wasn't for her status and power of her own he may even have considered her a future interest as well.

She tilted her head, not everything of herself was hidden, she wore a sunhat and sunglasses but her hair was still there, the colour of her skin on her fingers, but that was just the way she wanted this man to work with her. Secrets and yet not completely. He had said no one knew his face and she wanted that power, that interest but she did not want to be immediately known by him either. Maybe they met before, maybe they passed on the street, she would never know. "It could work that way definitely or imagine you bump into something that sounds interesting, without me sending you there. I hope you would rely such information to me as well." She tried to say with a kind smile and a kind notion in her voice. "It is a sort of partnership, after all. I can't be everywhere, but I do need the information and if you find something, no matter what, you could tell me." She would explain to him shortly that there would be a sort of group app where he could send her a private message or talk with the others, but yes, his interest was important. She nodded though when he explained he would just as well disappear if it was not the way he wanted to work. "Of course." She said quickly, some people had to be pleased no matter what she wanted.
But this meant she got him in the pocket and that made her smile only more. "I do look forward to our next meeting Dantalion." She stood up and made sure he was doing okay, wanted to leave and had no further questions. She added her business card, the Garden of Whispers; Daffodil and the little strange code to join the chat. She was actually sure she had no need to tell him about the secrecy of everything and that the code would only work once, he would understand.
