Fen gave a small jump of surprise as her three team members immediately adopted aggressive stances, ready to leap into a fight if necessary. Fen, however, quickly regained her composure and tilted her Scroll, letting the cigarette ash fall into the ground before sliding it back into her pocket. She too, gave a measured smile.

"Why don't you come down here and talk to me like a gentleman? You know, unless you'd like me to call in some... let's say 'reinforcements'?" But Fen's mind was racing. This must be one of the Jabberwockys that Kurai had mentioned. At present she needed to gauge the threat level this man posed, and what it was he planned to do with this information. Clearly they weren't the only ones after the tags, but Fen needed to find out why this gang was after them too.

She could feel her collapsed halberd gently bumping into her torso from where it hung inside her jacket. They were still in a crowded street, so starting a fight here would definitely attract police attention. Unless this guy wanted law enforcement to get involved, chances were neither of them would be able to do anything to the other besides make intimidating threats. Her Daybreakers were already on their way back, and Kurai should almost be finished as well.

So she would stall for time, then. They already outnumbered this guy 4 to 1, best to glean as much information as she could while she could.
