He sighed, and turned to his girlfriend. Nox had gotten a few more scars, noticably one that traced his jawline. But the true sign of him aging was the fact that his features were more refined, less...rugged and rougish. He looked almost aristocratic or noble. He kept his hair the same length, but his outfit had changed. The jacket was a black jacket with a dark silver collar, behind which was a hood. There was a piece of cloth around the inside of his collar, settled down around his neck. It was a strong weave meant to protect his face, windpipe and arteries from most slashes, though bullets would still penetrate.

"I'm...worried." The young mercenary admitted. He wasn't the most patient person alive, but just sitting and waiting for something to happen was...aggravating. "We don't know they will even show up. Nor do we know the method of attack they'll use if they even do." He sat on the bed, letting out a small sigh. "I hate unknowns. It's astounding that Cobalt even managed to scrounge up even this level of information. Especially since some of the better information brokers and spies didn't. But the fact that these...terrorists are that good at covering their tracks is worrying. We may have bitten off more than we can chew...we're good, Nixia. Some of the best, if you're feeling narcissistic. But...well..."

This was unusual for the male. Normally he was confident. Not the loud, brash arrogance of some, but the quiet, controlled knowledge that one was skilled. He knew his strengths, and his weaknesses. And he knew this contract played more to his strengths than his weaknesses...especially since Nixia unlocked his Aura not that long ago. He had even practiced and refined his semblance to the point he could use it at a whim now.

But something was off, he was sure of it. The young man dubbed Winter looked over at his girlfriend again. Normally the sight of her calmed him, at least a little.

The nervousness he felt didn't drop in the slightest.
