[I’m a dumbass, and due to fucked up IRL shit, i forgot her flaw. Therefor, with permission of the other player, everything Kiana said in this scene was written. she’s fuckin mute.]
Kiana Knowles
She’d watched him go, watched Mila’s reaction to him, and then, for reasons not entirely known to herself, she decides to follow the giant of a man. Maybe she just wants work out tips as his arms are the size of her waist, but it’s unlikely. It’s more likely that she’s curious.
Simply curious.
So she weaves through the crowd, body twisting, moving, bending so as to keep from contacting too many of them in a dance that’s graceful in its own way. She’s light on her feet, fluid and confident – something thats attractive to some, and frightening to others.
Her hood is still up, her hands still in the ‘roo pocket of her sweatshirt, and her steps are near silent as she steps outside and looks around for him. Seeing him – she clears her throat, and arches a brow, slightly.
“So, she kinda got your goat, hm?” She being Mila, of course.
Blaze
He was definitely annoyed when he exited the club with Nadia on one side and Tanya on the other. He wanted a distraction at the moment and the two ladies, he knew they could provide some.
There is a voice behind him and he turns to see the hoodie wearing woman from the bar. His dark eyes looks at her for a moment when he turns around. “She’s an idiot. What do you want?”
He ask, crossing his arms over his chest, leaving the two women to look at Kiana with curious looks.
Kiana Knowles
She shrugs, slightly, eying the entourage she’d thought he’d left behind. Seems he has more than just them flowing out of the woodwork. “Nothing, really. Just curious.”
She pulls a hand from her pocket, the and lifts it to her lips, chewing on a hang nail on her thumb, absently for a moment. “Wondered how you know her…”
If he really knows her.
Kiana had felt the rage pouring from her, seen the reaction of them both when it didn’t bother her. A street rat always needs more contacts – and one rich enough to have his own groupies… well.
Blaze
He raises a brow “Why do you want to know? Who is she to you?”
He motion to the girls to move away. Probably to his car.
He moves slightly closer to Kiana, looking down at her “Curiosity is fine and all, but it can be a dangerous trait. He seems even more guarded since Kiana had asked about Mila, his eyes studying her intensely.
Kiana Knowles
It can be dangerous. She snorts. “Preachin to the choir, my very large friend.”
She waits till the girls are out of earshot, and then looks up to meet his gaze evenly. The hoodie pulls back a little – showing off that shiner under the street lights. She’s a pretty girl, really, even under the bruising, and her eyes spark with intelligence, and a wary sort of street wisdom too. She’s been around. For a while.
“No one to me, yet. But folks like her? Well, they’ve been few an’ far between. Been here my whole life, and rarely seen more than my own folks, dig what I’m sayin? But well. Those kind, they tend to get a little too big for their britches when dealin with mine, so thought I’d see what you knew about her.”
She shrugs, again, and studies her hand for a moment before attacking that hang nail with her teeth again.
Blaze
He raises a brow when he see the bruising “Should have her take care of whoever did that to you” He say, lifting his chin in the direction of her face.
His expression turns into a frown when she speaks about kinds and how Mila was different. “Well she doesn’t get how the world works down here. She only know her own little thing”
He wasn’t going to admit to anything to this stranger “She think she’s the shit but people like her get eaten in this city. Hence why there’s not a whole lot of them”
It was vague enough right?
Kiana Knowles
The first makes her laugh. “Why? You should see him. AND his friend.” Smug, that little grin. She takes care of herself well enough… so far. “this ain’t nuthin but a little bruise. I think I broke stuff in them. Pretty sure, anyway. There was a deliciously satisfying crunch or two.”
She listens to the rest, then, and nod, slightly. “And you are in the know, I assume?” It was vague enough, but also clear that she’s pretty sure she understands what he’s not saying. “She thinks you got huffy because she stood up to ya. I figure it’s because you was tryin to tell her the real deal and she weren’t listenin.”
A beat. “I listen.”
Blaze
She tilts his head “Yeah maybe you took them out…but you’re going to mess that pretty noggin of yours permanently that way. ”
He shrugs about Mila “She messed up, I have to clean up after her. She doesn’t understand how things work in my world and I won’t pretend how shit works in hers. But I don’t give a fuck. She stays away, I’ll do the same. Her kind are nothing but trouble.”
Kiana Knowles
she grins up at him. “Aw, you think I’m pretty…” She chuckles. “I’m a fighter. It’s what I do. I consider them practice for the money Pits.”
She nods, at the rest of the information, though it’s with a wry little grin. “Yeah, they are that – but they always seem to find us, and expect us to do the cleaning up. Our Duty, or whatthefuckever.”
Blaze
He shrugs “I don’t know about that…don’t care. Haven’t seen many of her kind..and not interested to see more.”
He watches her a little more “As for you, with that face, you should be a model and let the ugly ones get beaten down. When you’re 30, you will have lost all that smoothness and even your eyes won’t be the same. Nose will be crooked, ears bigger, lips deformed..Be a waitress…a model, a mannequin..or if you have the skills to fight..a bodyguard… just not a fighter. And stay out of the Pit, it will destroy you”
Kiana Knowles
“Yeah, well – I have a feeling we ain’t gonna be able to keep to our own interests when it comes to them.”
She Shrugs at the rest, briefly. “Sometimes, ya just gotta work with the hands your dealt – and these ones can fight. I ain’t about to settle down and have babies and be a Real Girl. I like to fight. Betcha wouldn’t say that shit to a man…”
She shrugs, slightly. “I got responsibilities. The Pit is my ticket.” She’s confident, give her that.
Blaze
He shrugs “I wouldn’t say this to a man because I wouldn’t think that the guy getting is face busted is a waste. But if he was a friend, I’d tell him to get smart and do something else.
And girl..there are so many ways it make money that don’t involve getting your faces busted…or spread you legs if you thought I’d suggest that”
He look in the direction of the car then back at her
Kiana Knowles
She arches a brow, slightly. “Like what? I’m a street rat, dude. Not everyone can afford their own entourage. We scrape and scavenge like the little Rats we are, and do what we gotta. I do what I gotta.”
She winks up at him “But I appreciate the fact you think I’m pretty enough to bother… even though I’m not swooning all over ya like those two.” A nod toward the car where his girls await.
Blaze
He grins “Well do you think I was born with a silver spoon? I did what I had to do myself. Just telling you you could od other things..like work security, bodyguard, be a stunt woman..sell drugs, be an enforcer..whatever the fuck you want that doesn’t include a phd. You could probably be a sales woman with your looks.”
He look back at the car “And you’re pretty hot. Though too bad you aren’t swooning a little. Might have kept me around a little longer. But I have two horny little ladies in the car ready to do a lot for me at the moment.
So you know…choices and all but I think getting laid will win right now. Though if you see me again, we can chat some more”
Kiana Knowles
She shrugs slightly. “Not sayin I wouldn’t like a roll in the hay like any other girl – but I ain’t in the party scene. A one on one kinda girl – and well.. I’m worth working a little for. But hey – to each his own empty headed slut.”
A beat – then…”Name’s Kiana, by the way.”
And with that, she turns and heads into the alleyway – a street rat’s favorite home.
Blaze
He grins at her words “Some other time maybe”
He let her go saying “I’m John” He turns to head to his car. Empty headed sluts were exactly what he needed at the women and two of them..kinda make almost one normal woman no?
Not that it mattered. He didn’t want a girlfriend after all.
