A Nocturne Wish

" Ah yes.. Your power.. " She stood still, looking at the water quietly for a while, not looking at Lukretia. " ..Use them to my advantage. " She had figured that going for the whole corny reasons to make a deal, was not going to work, let alone on Lukretia, she would have to make a note never to use them, turning to face Lukretia. " Gain new toys thanks to them. "

Lukretia shook her head at Akuma's words. "If you vere just looking to enjoy yourself, zen you vould not needed to have disturbed me. I do not have time for such petty requests." She waved her hand dismissively. "You are going to need to sign ze paper vork und join ze league first. You seem to be looking for a free ride to ze top und I'm afraid zat no one gets zat." She said with a a serious look on her face.

" That's quite a shame. " Akuma said almost sadly, at the same time though, Karina let go of the strap, letting her guitar rest free over her shoulder. " I was hoping that you actually knew what I meant.. But you know what they say.. " She turned and headed for Karina, who opened the door for Akuma as she came towards her.

" A crow cannot understand the wishes of a Falcon. Lets go, Karina.. We have a appointment with Eclipse. " Akuma didnt seem angry nor sad, she just held the same cool expression as usual, just without the grin on her face. Karina simply gave a nod when Akuma told her what they would do next.

Lukretia watched the two as they began to leave. Her cool smile returned. "Zose who cannot even bring zemselves to speak plainly only do so to cover up zere veaknesses, meien frau." She said and watched to see if Akuma would leave. "Your gamble vas certainly bold but you have no idea vat game is even being played." Lukretia then took her mug and finished her beer. "If you are going to vist zem, send meine regards und tell zem zat zey really must come have dinner at meine place more often. I do so enjoy zere company." Her eyes then widened slightly. "Oh, how rude of me." She added. "Velcome to ze AFW."

" To talk plainly, is to have trusted conversation. And let's be honest, would you have such a conversation with a stranger? " She stopped at the door which was still held open by Karina, looking over her shoulder at Lukretia. " I have no idea.. Mh Mh.. Allow me to name the two previous puppets I have had.. Maybe you have heard of them.. Lute and Cerbera. They were fine puppets, but like most toys.. They break. "

She then turned to face Lukretia and actually bowed to her. " Clearly, we have wasted eachother's time. No matter, it will just take a little more time to gain access to such personal records.. I will be seeing you soon, Lady Lukretia... Very soon. "

"To ask zose vords." Lukretisa said. "You do now know zenature of business very vell do you, meine frau." She smirked. "If you cannot have an honest conversation vith a stranger zen you cannot succeed in ze vorld of business. But it is quite different zan being naiv, I assure you. I have been honest zis whole time." She said cooly. "Und meine time is never vasted. I believe zis encounter has been quite fruitful for myself. If not for you, zen zat is truly a shame."
