The suggestions were not that useful, surely there was something but Nimue wanted to be a good example for the students and besides... she did not want to be kidnapped again. Once was already bad, imagine twice. What incompetent hero would she be at that point, only the more reason to consider why Serperior was right. But then she realized together with Giovanni that Mia had been on the list but was off it now and well maybe it was good to ask her for advice. But both heroines were obviously very busy but well everyone had to eat. So she decided when she had a moment to talk to Mia in the hallway now that the school was almost starting again after the holidays, she invited her for dinner at the Osteria dei Mascalzone. She would also add that she would like some advice and with a bashful red face asked if Mia was fine with her boyfriend being there because he could listen to the advice as well. Mia was still in Nimue her eyes the one who should be at the top of the list. She wanted to learn so much from Mia, her attitude and her mood about being a hero and how she managed to get scot-free from the talk with Ishtar, that was something impressive, the same as her power and so on. Or well that is what she knew about Mia, maybe things happened. She wanted to make sure her friend was doing alright as well, so maybe it was a bit of both that she could combine with this dinner and she just hoped to treat Mia for something nice.
Now it was almost dinner time and Nimue got redressed, her first dressed felt a little over the top and her little black dress still felt a little formal but she was trying to do her best. Her long mint coloured hair was loosely braided and her red markings and scars were hidden by the make-up. Her effort of trying to look like a civilian. At least Giovanni understood that their talk wasn't for everyone their ears so they got a private room and the restaurant looked amazing, she liked being here even if she wasn't so often and she brushed her hair, checked her face several times and had no idea, to be honest, why she was so nervous. It was a talk with her friend, what was the worst that could happen? Maybe it was because Giovanni did not seem to like the previous interaction with heroes... okay she could be a little nervous about that and a little nervous about Mia meeting her boyfriend or well what Mia could tell her about the Ishtar meeting... Maybe she was just a nervous wreck about everything at this point in time and it would be nice if there were moments where she would not be nervous. But that were worries for a later time today, right now she would just take a seat and wait for her guest to arrive.

Giovanni was dressing up. He was trying to look formal, but not TOO formal. As they were preparing, Giovanni turned to Nimue and approached her with 2 different ties. "Tell me honestly, which one looks better on me. This black one?" hovers black tie where his neck is "Or this grey one?" he hovers the other tie
Once Nimue decides, he nods and uses the tie she chose. He was a bit nervous. He was about to meet Redhorn. And she is a very burly hero. Intimidating. She could crush him completely with her... Nevermind, he shouldnt think about Redhorn crushing him. He had to focus. Redhorn was like Ishtar. Intimidating, he needed to be focused and confident that he could do it
Giovanni then looked at Nimue to see how she was doing, as well as to distract himself from thinking about Redhorn. He noticed Nimue was ready so he drove Nimue to the restaurant. As they drove, he asked Nimue for tips on how to behave around a Pro Hero like Redhorn. How to act, would he be formal or not at all. She could see he was a bit nervous about meeting the Hero.
Anywho, upon their arrival they went to their table and sat as they waited for Redhorn. During the wait, Giovanni asked Nimue if she wanted to order something on the house. They needed to look casual and not suspicious. Right? Anyway, as they waited, Giovanni ordered one of his people to bring him a glass of water. He then looked at the watch to see if Redhorn will come on time. He tried to relax. Honestly, this worried him more then Nimue. She was so scary and could beat him up and he was a villain. He had a reason to fear her. But still he thought as long as he's with Nimue, he is safe

Mia didn't know too much about what they were going to talk about today, but apparently Nimue wanted her advice on some matters and... well Nimue had been there for her when she was suffering the side effects of her quirk, so it was only reasonable that she take the time out of her day to see the woman and give her whatever experience she needed today. Mia wasn't used to going to proper resteraunts, and she wasn't exactly the type to wear a dress but she did at least try to make an effort. Black pants, a slim belt, a tucked in shirt. She'd rolled up the sleeves but only because if she didn't she wouldn't be able to move her arms properly, with a simple red tie. Though... she tried it on a few times and ended up stuffing it in her pocket, undoing a button on her shirt. If she needed a tie she could put it on when she got there, but a bit of scruff was usually her style anyway. She'd at least make a small effort with her hair, brushing her usual fringe back and adding a bit of gel. It was still mostly a wild mane of blonde hair but with a bit of form to it closer to her forehead.
Arriving at the scene, it wasn't hard for her to spot that head of green hair. Even in the wilder areas of Japan dyed or quirked hair of that color wasn't all that common and it especially stood out here. She'd stride across to their chosen table, offering a cautious wave. Nimue had informed her their boyfriend would be attending or something but... for what reason Mia wasn't exactly sure. "Hey there... Mia Kearney." She offered a hand to the stranger as she sat down, looking back to Nimue once introductions were made, leaning over the table a little more laxly than the two before her.
"So, what can I help ya with Doc?" She teased with a small smile, not entirely sure what she'd been called to talk about. Nimue had made it sound at least a little serious but Mia didn't want to make any assumptions especially with the boyfriend present, though she did pull back a moment, gesturing over herself. "Dress okay by the way? I got a tie in my pocket if I need it?" She eased the strip of red fabric into her hand and showed it over the table, but would readily put it on, or away as need be.

They had decided a small change, she would live with him for a while. That was more like an extension of their weekends together and nothing formal yet but that was how she decided that she could deal with it and she had told him that. Looking up from her own issue, she just bit her lip down to not smile about how serious he took it, that made her really glad though. They had a fight before about how mad he got at Ultra Violet and Tobias and she did not want that again. "I like the black one better." It had something, mysterious, interesting, she watched him while leaning her cheek on her hand. How to tie a tie, funny right. Once he was ready he would take her to the restaurant, they were very on time but wasn't that the idea of being the one that made the invitation? She would just be around their table, finally taking a seat in the end and she looked up when she heard someone arrive and smiled at Mia. She was always glad to see her and glad that she could and would come and she hoped it wasn't bad that Giovanni was here. She looked from one to another and felt a little giddy even though the conversation wasn't a fun one, she liked to hang out with Mia, she was her friend and Nimue... stupid as she was, never really took time for friends. "Thank you so much for coming, Mia."
She would make sure Mia was comfortable and just she blushed a little when Mia went straight to the question. "Oh yes, you look fine, no tie needed." She brushed the skirt of her dress down, "I think I am even overdressed for this." And well Giovanni owned this place so it was maybe a bit obvious that he was overdressed for their talk as well, but she did not have the intention to tell Mia that. It wasn't necessary information for now right? "So ehm, I had a question and..." God she was that simple and paranoid already... she looked shortly at Giovanni with only her eyes before turning back to Mia. "You have seen the new list," Hard to miss for them and the ruckus it created among students and Yuuei. "I hope I don't ask a bad question but you are no longer on the list and you are here and you look like you were not harmed, is Ishtar's list, really only for talking?"

Asking her advice, he asked what tie to put. Nimue answered black and that was the one he put on as he tossed the other one aside. Once the two were ready, they would head to their destination. They would get to their table and sit
Black pants, a tucked in shirt, rolled up sleeves because bone crushing muscles and a red horn. Yep, that was Redhorn. Normally she was a wild monster, seeing her semi civil was like being in the twilight zone. She arrived to their table and introduced herself and extended a hand to shake. Giovanni took it and introduced himself "Giovanni Trapani. Pleased to meet you" it took everything not to stutter because the woman was intimidating.
After that she spoke to Nimue in a friendly manner with a small smile. He relaxed a little bit. Giovanni didnt answer that since he believed she spoke to Nimue. Plus, it was a bit rude to comment on her looks because he doesnt know her. They were strangers. Plus she can punch him and break his teeth
Still though he was glad Nimue said no tie. She already looked like a man. Granted with those muscles and that quirk, it couldnt be helped. Nimue brushed the skirt of her dress down and said she thinks she is overdressed. Giovanni who was more comfortable commenting on Nimue's looks chimes in "Nonsense. You look great." she looked lovely But now they get to the meat of the manner. She... they had a question. Nimue looked at him shortly. He looked at her as shortly as she did, and held her hand. She spoke about the list. And she asked about her being off the list. Redhorn was taken off and not harmed. Giovanni nodded "Si. Is it true you and Ishtar just talked? And if so... can you tell us what did Ishtar want or is that classified or something?" he asked the former number 1. He had an idea hatching. And he just needed this answer

"No? Aight." She slipped the tie back into her pocket and leaned her weight into the table between them a bit, knowing from experience not to do so enough that it'd tip the table in her direction or anything, just taking a slow breath as she settled and shot Nimue a warm smile as their boyfriend complimented them. "He's right though you look alright." She commented with a warm smile, not wanting to linger too much however as Nimue clearly called her here for a reason. As that came more and more to light however... Mia's smile clearly shifted a little to the other end of the spectrum, letting a slow breath flow through her nose.
Officially, she'd taken a long weekend off, booking a friday and a monday off and going out to her own cabin out off the main paths around Tokyo to fix the place up. Unofficially... or rather, the truth, the silver haired bitch that was Ishtar had someone come pick her up and Mia had her lovely 'dinner' with the queen of villainy and... well that was it. The two of them had their talks, Mia smugly painted Ishtar into a bit of a corner with her wish and that was that. She knew Sonya's secret sure but... there were reasons she couldn't divulge that.
Now, Nimue was clearly worried, nervous even and Mia would be more than happy to tell her about what really happened just the two of them but... her red gaze shifted to the man who had joined them. In truth, talking about something so sensitive Mia had little to no idea why he was here. Sure Nimue might want a bit of support and comfort but Nimue was more of a by the book her than Mia by a longshot. Didn't really sit right he was here but... she'd let out a deep breath and simply ask before saying anything more.
"Can your man keep his mouth shut?" A ruder way of asking if he could 'keep a secret'.

Seriously she rather did not do this, she wished she could just take Mia out for dinner or heck the number of chicken nuggets or fast food she and Freya once had because that had been a nice night and she rather kept stuff that way but she could still learn a lot from Mia. Nimue also was still convinced it was not Mia's fault for whatever happened and she had not spoken to anyone else about it. The thing for right now was that she wanted to make sure Mia did not mind the questions, she was at least glad to see her smile and that Giovanni although looking nervous seemed to be impressed with Mia. She smiled when both Giovanni and Mia complimented her and she thanked the both of them with a little blush and a smile on her face. But her smile disappeared also when she brought up the point to Mia and she had a frown on her forehead and just a serious look in her eyes. She hated doing this. She was also glad that Giovanni supported her question but also did seem to be a bit more cautious of his words and make sure that Mia wasn't feeling like she had to answer. She almost took his hand but she would not immediately do so because she did not want to look like she had no attention for the serious question she just asked Mia. Maybe she should have given Mia the space so they could have ordered food first.
She looked shortly at Giovanni with the blunt way of how Mia asked her question. She did not want him to think bad of Mia too as how he got pissed at Ultra Violet. She nodded, "Yes, he promised." He promised to keep Nimue's identity a secret but she was sure that meant for her friends as well right? He wasn't going to tell others Mia's identity even if she wasn't so hush hush about hers as Nimue was. She looked shortly at Giovanni again after looking at Mia, to make sure he would add to the promise as well and just hope that this information would help her and would make her less afraid of that list, she wasn't sure what to do with it and just wanted to know now, very curious, about what Mia would tell her and else if Mia felt more comfortable, she would tell Giovanni to get their food, she did not like that as she was sure he wouldn't like it but she had to try something right?

Giovanni was surprised and left speechless by how blunt Redhorn was. That and he couldnt figure out what she wanted to say. For him to shut up because he complimented Nimue or about him keeping secrets. Honestly and really, he couldnt tell with someone like her. He then nodded as Nimue talked and answered for him that he will promise to keep the secret.
Giovanni also motioned his people to bring them a meal, so they can dine and talk. He waited for Redhorn to start and talk. Giovanni looked around and saw one of his waiters, who just made a 180 and handed off their order to another waiter "The fuck is he on about? I'll have to ask him later" Giovanni thought to himself. But soon someone brought them all a real italian meal and of course wine to drink.
He let the two heroes talk and discuss, he would just stay quiet and listen as he casually eats his meal. He felt an idea creep in his mind, but depending on Mia's answer, he would see would that idea blossom into a great plan or if he would have to shut down that idea and think of something else

"...Aight... Well..."
Shifting her neck to either side, loosening up with a few popping sounds, Mia leaned back into her chair and folded her arms thinking of how best to deliver this news, taking a few slow breaths. She had managed to get the PSC off her back with a few simple lies about the situation, as she doubted they'd be happy knowing she'd purposely met with a villain on the level of Ishtar on purpose without back up, permission, or anything to really show for it...
"Officially. And I want you both to remember this is the official story." She emphasized to both of them, even Nimue, with an immensely harsh glare. She didn't want either of them slipping on this one and getting her in trouble. With the government, the PSC, the media, whatever the fuck. If they ever got asked about it outside of the room, this was the official story they had to give. "I took a long weekend out to my cabin. I was out there making myself a barbecue for me and my dad when he came over on sunday and fixed up the cabin. Managed to get an extension done. When I came back on monday and turned on my phone I found out Ishtar crossed my name off the list and was using my absence to stir up panic that I'd met with her."
She paused and let them remember that version of events, taking a slow breath and continuing. "That's the official story... unnoficially..."
She debated how best to put this but Mia was nothing if not upfront and blunt. Best way to go about it was to just be honest and give Nimue the straight order of events. Still, there was a clear discomfort... especially since Mia knew she'd still have to skip out on a few details to stick to her own deal.
"I met with a criminal who arranged a meeting with me and Ishtar. He pocketed that reward she was giving out and I got picked up from my cabin and escorted to a meeting place. They cuffed me, but it was clear that Ishtar didn't want them too. Apparently they were scared of me. Can't say I blame them..." Another slow breath. "But... at the end of the day, yes. It was just a talk. Ishtar even brought me a meal so we ate together while we er... caught up so to speak. Tried to offer me one of her wishes and all... she clearly takes precautions. I didn't expect to leave alive if I ended up trying to fight her, but at the end of the day it was just a talk... she dropped me back off at my cabin once we were done and that's the end of it."
Missing a few key details of the meeting of course but... Mia wasn't about to reneg on her deal with that woman so soon. Not before she'd seen the payout for her own end of the arrangement, and even then... she was a woman of her word, she wouldn't stoop so low as to break that deal without good reason.
"Help settle things doc?"

The worry that Giovanni would feel as if they hated him while Mia just had to be secure made her wonder what to say and do. But he promised, right? She could trust him, that was all she knew and well Mia should know that too. At least he nodded so that was something and she looked with again a worried frown on her face to Mia, what should she say and what happened? She closed her eyes shortly when listening to the popping sound of her neck and just tried to see what was going on. She nodded to make sure that Mia knew she could trust them that this was the official story, aka the story they knew and nothing else. She bit her lip and tried not to make any obvious gestures when Mia glared at her, only so Mia would know she was trustworthy. Well, she kinda assumed Mia knew already but that was not the point, Mia still had to believe so!
What did hurt her, as she was definitely not going towards the good mood when they were further progressing in the year was Mia's casual outing with her dad. No signs on her face though, nothing, she just looked at Mia and just listened. Internally she was jealous for a bit, which was a rare thing for the South African woman but she wanted that she could have a braai with her father... that was not possible as she had lost, she had lost him and that witch was still out there. Well... it wasn't necessary to talk about it now. She took a deep breath, for as silent as she could, almost inaudible. An arranged meeting? Wow. She looked surprised and did not know what to say, her mouth open in a silent o when she caught up with the official story and the start of the unofficial one surprised her. It was just a talk? Ishtar even bought her dinner... should she even ask what it was all about? She did not actually dare, maybe it was more private than she realized. She took precautions, okay... something to remember. She swallowed, she did not like it and she did not hate it. She did not know what to say about it, she wasn't sure if it took all her nerves way. "Surely it does, I am just very surprised it really is just a talk, fascinating as well." Did they not take blood samples or anything, "You don't have to share this in detail but was it something she wanted from you or just... you know her talk about how she encouraged villains with that prison break, I imagine her wanting to debate something like that, I just have no idea what to expect at all." Apart from villains lurking at every side to kidnap her maybe?
Would it be that easy? She wasn't sure if it was smart, she should talk to Melody too who was off the list but with her full name it was such a strange setting. What was going on?

Giovanni nodded when Redhorn said this was like the OFFICIAL story. He listened to her story. But yeah... Giovanni knowing Ishtar, he knew there was a stinky smelly lie in there. He doubted Ishtar would lie that she had Redhorn and randomly cross her off. Thats when she paused and remined them thats the official tale. The true, the unofficial one... Well... there was still a pause.
She then spoke her tale. She met with a criminal who arranged the meeting. He got the reward and she got to see Ishtar. Due to no mention of a battle. She seemed willing to go actually. But all in all, it was just talk. She even brought her a meal so they ate as if on a dinner date knowing Ishtar. But once all was said and done she was back outside and safe
Giovanni looked at Nimue to see how she took it. The story that is. Nimue and Redhorn conversed. Nimue had her own questions to ask and he would let Redhorn answer. After that Giovannii would speak "It seems then, the biggest peril is the maniacs who might try to capture N- Witch Doctor" he quickly corrected himself. "If Ishtar just wants to talk. I say... and I know this is a stupid idea but... We should just rip off that bandaid. I can impersonate that one italian villain from the wanted list. No one knows what he looks like. I can pretend to be that villain and bring our Witch Doctor to Ishtar safely, so no maniac actually jumps to attack her or harms her or God knows what. We can go to Ishtar together, the two can talk and have dinner or whatever and I collect the reward that is the wish. And listen... Ishtar from what I heard is a maniac to keep her word. What if... what if someone wishes that she turns herself in? Surely someone obsessed with promises would do it. We can do that with no bloodshed. Granted. Maybe we can do a variation of the plan. I just want her off the list in a safe manner. And not in a way that well.... I saw the list and a... Melody Miro was taken off by a wish. I do not want Witch Doctor to be crossed off in a manner where her identity gets revealed..." he sighs "Apologies. I got overeager with an idea"

Mia hoped she put the two of them at ease a bit with the true retelling of events. Of course out of some odd respect for Ishtar she was trying to hold back on some of the details but she’d give whatever Nimue needed to be comfortable. When she asked what the woman’s intent was… well in part that would be a bit of guess work. “I think her mentality is to just get you on her side. She tries to offer you one of those ‘wishes’ we’ve been briefed on. Ya know how she’s offering every criminal out there a single ‘wish’? Tried to offer me one. She won’t grant something unreasonable of course or something she absolutely can’t do, but she’ll push heaven and earth if it’s even remotely possible. She’s not trying to get people in debt, it’s legit a free request from what I understand… I used mine to make it so she can’t lie to me when we’re alone in the same room. She can keep her mouth shut, but she can’t lie. Far as I can tell she stuck to that deal because I made it reasonable. Odds are she’ll stick to anything you ask too… like I said though…”
She let out a heavy sigh. “She doesn’t ask for anything back on the wish. But I think the idea is she wants to create a culture of favour to her. People don’t owe her anything but they feel they might, or they feel she isn’t that bad. It’s bound to make more than a few tempted heroes go easy on her in the future. In my case I think she was trying to win me around to her way of thinking. Didn’t work mind but… I definitely think it was one of the cards at play.” It was hard for her, a bit of a dunce if she was honest, to guess at the motives of aches master like her but… that was her best guess. Ishtar didn’t want people ACTUALLY in debt to her but she wanted the temptation. The desire to go back for another hit, the idea you might owe her one, the idea she wasn’t so bad cause she helped you that one time… it was an effective soft-shield so to speak, but not one Mia was falling for too soon. They had the deal they’d made and it was ending at that. Once she got her ends of things she was putting that relationship to the test. End of the day she was still a villain.
“If I knew you’d panic so much about this I coulda used my wish to keep you off the list… sorry Doc..”
The boyfriend confirmed from his caught mistake that they were using secret identities here today it seemed. Mia didn’t mind if anyone used their real name. It wasn’t like she was less bullet proof when she wasn’t on the clock. The rest of what he was saying though… Mia rubbed her forehead at the sides of her horn, lowering her head in clear frustration. “
“You’re right that is a stupid series of ideas. Look I…” She sighed in frustration to stop herself from raising her voice. “I get it, you’re her boyfriend or whatever, you care about her, you wanna do your part. You’re also a civilian which means you can’t just fucking pretend to be a villain and put yourself in danger contacting the most wanted criminal in Japan. Doc-“ She turned back to the green haired heroine. “His.. his idea holds some merit. Not the ‘turning herself in’ bit that was fucking insane but if you want to get this over with maybe talk with the hero association or the PSC or whatever they’re calling themselves. I bet they got some informants amongst the scum of Japan. Might be able to get one of them to call it in and handle this all safely for you… could get the stress off your back.” She shrugged casually. She’d basically done the same to herself afterall and she came out fine.
(wanna emphasize nothing against Maya, Mia just thinks its dumb a civilian offered something so risky, but OOCly I get the idea)

How often did she think Mia was fitter for this than she was? Probably enough times but she also really appreciated the fact that Mia took her time for this. Their conversation fell silent for a bit, as it was rather private, but the food was brought and she was just hoping it was going to be alright. But she also was glad for that short interruption because Nimue had no idea what to say about the fact that Ishtar wanted you on her side. Right the wishes, she had no idea how that worked but she got a little on what it was, wasn't it a rumour that one of the wishes had been the prison break? She didn't get it, did not plan on getting it but also did not plan on taking a wish at all. It might be too much tempting faith and so on. Though on the one hand, the request that Mia did wasn't a bad one. It still felt like a genie in a bottle talk and she rather avoids that, everything came with a price, right? She nodded to herself, trying to consider still how to respond to Mia, she thanked the waiter for the food and waited for the door to be closed again.
"So it's a mental game." Great, for now, she suddenly really wished it was the physical game Thundershock had played, but you couldn't have everything you wanted. To be easy on her, she was glad at least that Mia wasn't easily manipulated. Well, probably people would believe she was, considering they called her naïve. She did not want to talk about that. She did not know what else to say but finally should speak up, "No, no it's okay. I-I don't know what to say, it's just I think that the whole issue is more people trying to take me and bring me to her, that makes me panic. After Plutocracy took me when I just left the house... I don't feel very safe anymore, who else knows who I am and where I live." She looked up at Mia with a faint smile, "but I will get used to it, I suppose." But then she turned to look at Giovanni with a little bit more of a panic in her setting, Mia wasn't dumb after all, Nimue was just... a little... too much for herself sometimes. She didn't know what to say to that either, overeager was putting it very small, it was not very small. She couldn't help but point at Mia when she said exactly what made her worried, he was a civilian and she knew he hated it because he wanted to be there for her but she was worried for him. She looked up at Mia when reluctantly looking away from Giovanni. Ooh? It held Merit? She nodded, "I-I think so, it would at least save the issue as I be off the list like you did. I am not afraid of her if it is just talking." The fear of being known and having the same threat as that her father had to face with the Oracle, that was the issue. The fact they could take Giovanni away from her and he even willingly offered himself to get there... "I will ask the informant and the PSC, I just, yea I think that will be for the best, don't you think?" Though the question was to Mia, her eyes couldn't stay focused on her friend and moved to Giovanni before she finally focused on her plate and tired to eat...
Wew, swallowing the food was never so difficult. She wasn't even hungry at this point.

Redhorn used her wish to be a living lie detector for Ishtar. And ONLY when the 2 are in the same room alone? What a lame wish. She continued to explain the 'Ishtar Wish System' to him and Nimue. And then Redhorn said that if she knew Nimue would stress like this. She'd ask Ishtar to remove her from the list. Which again shows to Giovanni that Redhorn had a shitty idea for a wish.
Bouncing on the shitty ideas list. Giovanni made his own reasonable idea. But once again because he is a meager civillian, he is easily dismissed. He did listen to Redhorn and nodded. But internally he was pouting like a lot. Like a grumpy grump. Well, he learned his mistakes from Ultra and Informant, so he knew how to deflect Redhorn by right away saying that his own idea is 'stupid' which he wasnt. But man... Ultra... he still feels the pain of that kick.... on a spiritual or mental basis. His physical body was 100% healed.
Anywho Giovanni was silent and didnt say anything to Redhorn as the horned hero turned to Nimue and spoke to her. But once again, he was fiery and angry internally... his idea has MERIT and she wants to steal his idea by throwing some random junkie to Nimue or some random goverment commando!? Nimue was his!! That Ishtar wish was his!! They were all his!! Well, externally he had to be cool. So thats why he held Nimue's hand and lightly and gently squeezed it. As Nimue conversed with Redhorn he just looked down a bit and had this focused and puzzled look on his face as he listened to the girls speak. He wasnt aware that Nimue avoided his gaze as he avoided everyones gaze. Part of him felt he should do something about this. But he wasnt sure what. He can be a good villain. One that can rival Ishtar in intelligence. But he chose to lay low as the 8th. Maybe he shouldnt do anything stupid. He can get too emotional and get goaded by words too easily. He needed to calm down. Thats why he held Nimue's hand as the heroines spoke. Although when she mentioned the Informant, he let go of Nimue's hand and just would eat his food. He didnt say anything as the conversation now excluded him.

Mia nodded along at the idea of it being a mental game of sorts. "Probably didn't work on me cause I'm just that dumb.~" She offered a light smirk, making a joke at her own expense to try and lift Nimue's mood, but all in all it seemed like they were on the same page. Nimue seemed to be getting the idea that it'd be better for them if she offered herself up in some legitimate way... Mia rubbed her chin in thought. She was on board with that idea to some extent but...
"Just be careful if you plan to 'get something' out of the arrangement, whether it be a wish to take someone off the list, or if you plan to wear a wire or something. One thing I definitely got from my time with her is she's definitely no idiot. You try and catch her out and I bet she's got precautions for that in place... and, at the end of the day, you're gonna be alone with her in a sealed room if it's anything like her meeting with me. You fuck up and you're in a dangerous situation... but, if you let it be what it's gonna be, it should be over before you know it..."
She noticed the boyfriend was suddenly being very quiet but she brushed it off with a mild shrug and taking a deep breath to ease her own nerves and tensions about the situation they all found themselves in. "I dunno what else to say though at the end of the day. You have what it was like for me but... without wanting to give her too much credit, she's an intimidating woman. I've seen the shit her quirk can do first hand in some cases-" Technically true. "You rely a lot on your healing in a fight to keep up right? I mean it's not your only trick, but it's one of your biggest aye? Her quirk basically seems to cut that shit out... it's definitely not a fight you wanna risk if you can help it so... if you plan to meet her, just be smart you don't piss her off in the process." She didn't mean to 'up the tension' again, but she wanted to make sure that as calm as Nimue was becoming, she still understood the risks involved if she tried to 'play this' in some way like Mia herself did.
