He was observing the other as well. Not simply with just their movements, but reactions as well. If they were to make a good candidate for his inner circle, there were many requirements. So far, they seemed to pass most of them. Though, he couldn’t get too eager. The last time he had rushed the process, the new recruit had barely lasted a week. This one had a handsome face, it would be a shame to break it so quickly.
It wasn’t hard to notice some of the patrons clearing out of the room. Perhaps due to the tense atmosphere surrounding Malz, in which he had learned to mask so well. To only make them notice when he wanted them to. He and Kayn were now the only two left within the room. Perhaps for the best, if they knew where this situation was leading to.
“Excellent. Just the words I wanted to hear.” He smiled. A fake one of course, but convincing enough to appear heartwarming. There was the ever so slightest twitch of his from as the other closed the distance between them. Yet he didn’t show any signs of distress with his expression. “It’s a night for some fun, yes?”
𝐊𝐀𝐘𝐍’𝐒 𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐔𝐀𝐋, his expression glinting in a mischievous pleasantry, the smile on his lips sticking there in an attempt to make the other feel more at ease. Surely, the hitman’s presence is a little disconcerting ... he knows more about Malzahar ( & about what he does ) than any stranger should, & that’s the way he wants it. A little bit of leverage. It gives him just enough power to keep things where he wants them, not where Malzahar does.
He glances idly around as others seem to flee; it brings a flicker of amusement to his eyes & a twitch to his lips. Oh, this is fun. Whatever Malzahar does to people that don’t give him space — well, Kayn REALLY wants to find out.
But instead, he turns his attention to the smiling face before him, acquaintance stepping closer. He doesn’t back away, head tilting just slightly in questioning. A night for fun ( fun on Kayn’s terms can be dangerous ) ... sure. ❛ 𝑫𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒚. ❜ His reply is accented by an amused tone, & he leans against the pool table almost too - comfortably as his gaze fixates onto Malzahar. ❛ 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅, ? 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 ... ❜ He gestures vaguely to the room, empty now save for them two. ❛ 𝑫𝒐𝒆𝒔𝒏’𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒎 𝒔𝒐 𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰. ❜ His lip juts out in a brief, teasing pout, before it gives way to a rather minacious grin.
