Shade will stop and turn on his heels to face the incoming Kindred. He will remove his sunglasses to reveal icy grey eyes and place them in the breast pocket of the suit jacket he wears.  His arms hang freely at his side as he awaits the arrival of the Gangrel woman...

Reina stops in front of Shade, skidding to a halt in her broken shoe.

"Hey. Were you spying on me? For the big boss?" Reina's been understandably paranoid about this eventuality, especially since the televised breach.

"Young Miss I haven't the slightest clue what you're talking about..

...I was simply walking by and observed some....unusual behavior to take note of."

Shade is utterly emotionless, blank face, cold eyes.  Whether or not this woman sees through his mild deception remains to be seen, but for the moment he prefers his operations to be on his own terms.

"You know, that would work a lot better if I hadn't seen what you just did, melting out of the shadows like that. But ok, maybe you don't know what exactly I'm talking about."

Reina scowls.
"You look much too well-dressed to be in this part of town without a purpose, and anybody who's been showing up here lately has wanted something. So what do you want?"

A very small hint of a smile creeps to Shades lips, which of everything thus far is the most disconcerting.  

"I want nothing Reina, as I said I was just passing by and noted some unusual behavior involving those rats from the Stable, and that human..."

Shade is staring into the primal eyes of this Gangrel, many stories can be told through ones eyes, and this woman is becoming more and more agitated.

"And you know my name. Perfect."
She sighs. "Another Sewer Rat, then, are you? The human saw nothing. The two...thin bloods are the only ones who saw other than yourself.  Technically, not a problem."
Looking less agitated and more irritated now, she's really getting fed up with people knowing her name when she has no idea who the fuck they are, and then they come and threaten her.

"If you want to call me names, then please use mine.  Shade, not Sewer Rat.  I do not come here to threaten your domain or yourself.  You have done nothing to be judged guilty for and as such terminated.  I am here to play the roll of observer, nothing more."

"Feel free to run along and tell the Prince all about me, how some creepy guy in black walked past your park.  Of course the Sheriff across the street over there could probably answer your questions too."

Reina replies "Judge me guilty, would you? Terminate me? Yeah, alright, Shade. You might want to talk to the ones known as Sewer Rats as to why you think that's such an insult."
She rolls her eyes.

"Run to the Prince?  Now why would I do that, I haven't complained about anything else, I can take care of my own domain without tattle-taling, you ass."

Reina's head whips around looking for Zaine before she can even think about it, that would just be the cherry on this shitcake.

The world will go completely silent for Reina.  No speech, no leaves rustling, not even popping her own ears will make a sound.  

(Burn one bp, Quietus 1)

Shade will quickly use the few solid seconds of her looking away to slip back into the shadows and move with great speed to the corner of the street in complete and total silence before slipping around and (actually) out of sight. (Obfuscate 2)

When Reina turns around she will notice a small black business card falling to the ground, it has a phone number on one side and Shade on the other.  And if the missing sound didn't give him away as an Assamite, the 4 small Assamite glyphs on the corners of the card will.

Reina picks up the business card and scowls.

"Fucking Angels of Caine, think they're so fucking great, ooh I'm all sneaky and silent ooooh. Fucking hell."

She turns on her heels and goes back to her park, completely irritated and in a presumed bad mood for the rest of the night.

Shade will return a number of hours later, still well within the comforting embrace of night he will once again walk into Reina's park upon spotting her he will pick a park bench she will pass by and he will sit and wait.

"Well, well," she smirks as she walks up and sits on the bench next to Shade, "hello again. You are one confusing Assassin, you know that?"

"I assure you Young Miss it is not my intent to confuse.  I am normally very blunt and straight forward but when assigned with a task, i take it very seriously.  It is not my goal to make enemies of you, and from my discoveries you may have a sordid past, but you protect those who reside in your domain, and that is admirable."

Shade will remove his jacket and hand Reina the small satchel sitting next to him.

"I know this isn't much, but I noticed you had struggled finding food earlier.  This was all I could grab on such short notice."

Inside the satchel Reina will find two full pints of clean blood, direct from the blood bank.

"Wow, you have been watching me, haven't you? she says, a bit of wonder in her voice.
"I fed well, but it was, I am afraid, out of my control, and tainted. I appreciate your gift."
She nods to Shade and takes the blood pouches from him.

"You are most welcome.  I am not here to make enemies, enough of those find me on their own. My assignment is done, and I will likely not trouble your domain again."

With that Shade will rise and replace his jacket.

"Good Night Reina, you have my card if you need it"

Shade will straighten his coat and tie and walk at an easy pace from the park.

Reina shakes her head in disbelief as Shade walks away.
"Always something in this city, always something."
She smiles, and goes to find herself a quiet, shadowy corner where she can hide and drink Shade's gift.
