Nox nodded, hand resting on the blade right beside him. He sipped his water, and watched the door, instinctively sinking into the chair so the shadows draped across his face again.

The door opened again, and his eyes snapped to the men who entered. One was a thin, gangly looking fellow whose eyes shifted from corner to corner, and finally settled on the female beside the mercenary. There were five guards, one who kept close to him. Almost to close. Midnight eyes narrowed at the man, gaining an extra edge of frostiness. The other four kept a tight formation, and the group made their way to the two.

The thin man made to open his mouth, and the blade beside Nox settled on his throat. The teenage male stared at the larger man next to him, eyes searching. The corners of his mouth twitched, but otherwise his expression stayed the same. Frankly, it was rather unnerving.

"What's the contract?" His words were blunt and to the point, focused on the man he was staring at. This was the client, not the mouselike coward trembling. The man blinked, but nodded, setting down a Scroll. Nox put his sword down, and began to read over it, gesturing for Nixia to do the same. It was an Extermination/Recovery contract: The two would have to infiltrate a medium sized compound, and kill everyone within. Somewhere along the line, they'd extract data from a mainframe, and at the end they'd use explosives to wipe the fortress from the face of Remnant. He signed his callsign at the bottom, and his name just below that. His true name faded, cementing the contract as taken.

Looking over at the lighter blue eyes of Nixia, he waited for her to sign.
