Smiling kindly, he took her hand and gave it a firm shake. It was warm, from all that awkward blushing earlier. "I care. I care because i know what it's like, when people think you're weak, that you're helpless, because you're a little different. I know better, i look at you, and i see a brave young lady, who isn't afraid to show whoever thinks she's a pushover otherwise."

He put his other hand reassuringly on her shoulder. "Never be ashamed, and never, ever let anyone tell you what to do."

He didn't let go, but instead moved beside her, so he was holding her hand and leading her down the street. "Nice to meet you, Ixina. My name's Dalton, and i know just the place for a date..."

The club he brought her to was located in the seedier part of town, but at this time of the day, it was relatively empty, and safe. A few shady looking figures glared at the young duo as they entered the door, muttering among themselves but not making any moves. it's been a long time, but Dalton still held some credit in Vale's ghetto.

The atmosphere was dark and chilly, lit only with spinning disco lights (to Dalton's annoyance, as all he saw were grey spots dancing in his vision). But the club was clean, and smelt of sweet, exotic drinks. In a far corner was a large stage, currently occupied with a troop of dancing girls, who drew most of the crowd's attention.

A plump, spectacled woman looked up from the bar, saw Dalton, and grinned broadly. "Locker my boy! How long's it been? Two years, three? Haven't seen your ass 'round here since the Prophecy days!" she chuckled in a deep, booming voice, approaching and giving Dalton a good natured punch to the shoulder.

He staggered and laughed in reply. "Good to see you too, Scar. How's business."

"Ah, nothings changed. Boys keep coming and ol' Scar keeps serving." she eyed Ixina with a raised brow, then looked to Dalton with a suggestive wink. "But you, my boy, have been busy."

Dalton gently turned Ixina to face her and introduced the woman, with a small blush. "Scar, this is my new friend Ixina. Ixina, Scarlet Maria, our hostess."
