"The pay depends on the job, acting as a bodyguard generally speaking costs more then a simple delivery mission for instance." Serenity explained, she didn't know the exact number because she only got her own pay, all the information that didn't have anything to do with the mission at hand was given to Bishop.

The jobs were obviously more expensive than what she got because the agency still had to run itself. With over 100 active agents Serenity could guess that the total number of staff was much higher which would mean that the money required to run the agency was a reasonable amount. Thankfully people often payed well and there never seemed to be a huge abundance of jobs, it must just be the case of people unable to do things themselves hiring other people to do the jobs for them.

"As I referenced earlier, I normally do bodyguard or delivery work." Serenity spoke as her smirk turned to a frown. "I have done contract assassinations and other less favorable things though." She somberly spoke, while they had mostly been assassinations on people who deserved to die such as people who ran prostitution rings or murderers themselves, she wasn't pardoned from the fact that she had blood on her hands.

When Sayo asked her if she was hungry she nodded. "That would be appreciated thanks." She wasn't sure what Sayo was planning but it seemed like she was interested in hiring her. If it wasn't anything to bad she'd be more then willing for a reduced price even as a gesture of goodwill.

“There is a rather big news going around.” Sayo began, she had set down her phone and stared pensively at nothing. “Well, to me actually. It’s rather niche, you probably haven’t heard of it. My family’s business, the Rie Enterprise, opened a new branch in the market. This made some...corporations rather upset. A couple of them have a violent reputation. They don’t appreciate a new competition.”

“This cause quite uneasiness to some of the Rie Enterprise’s investors and allies. Why would they do something so foolish? Are they blind to the consequences of their actions? You see, Serenity, our enterprise was able to strive because of ambition. We will not fail because fail because of it, they need to be reminded of that.” Sayo wasn’t part of the decision making but if she was there, she would have voted against her parent’s plan. But what was done is done, her job now is the support it. “In a few days, there will be a party in the Ishii Monumental Building and the Rie family have been graciously invited. I will be attending alone, my parents deemed their presences will not be needed.”

“Surely whoever we have upset will be there and whatever plans made against me will take place there. The variables are not on my side, it is much harder to win an away game than a home game.” Sayo knew Serenity was smart enough to understand so she didn’t spell anything out. It was obvious why the Ishii clan publicly invited but she have to attend, even if she knew they would be after her, because if she decline the invitation it would be a sign of weakness to her investors and rivals. “But if I do come out of the party alive, it would be quite a victory but to do that I would need an assistant.”

"Typical business function with an attempt to murder a competitor." Serenity nonchalantly spoke, she had done a large number of jobs that were of a similar nature. Most of the time they were actually simple and easy, most of the assassins that were hired were no match for her really. Not a lot of them were prepared for her speed during split second but it was an amusing diversion and it was some easy money.

When Sayo had finished explaining her job Serenity smiled. "Well, you'll have to take it up with Bishop but it sounds like something I'd be interested in." This would also help her get on the good side of her roommate which was something else that was a positive.

"So, in advance if you can get them, I'll need schematics of the building and the guest list." Serenity had switched into full professional mode. She needed to know the scenario so she could take measures ahead of the actual event. It was always better to go in prepared then under prepared. "Also, in terms of payment for a bodyguard job." Serenity continued to speak. "It'll be determined upon completion of a job, we don't get payed for a failed job." It was a somber note but it had happened to some people before, dead people generally didn't pay.

Sayo shivered at the implication of a ‘failed job’ but nodded, at least she won’t being wasting her parent’s money if she failed. Sayo doesn’t not to dwell not that, failing was not an option, she was the future of the Rie Enterprise and this was an opportunity to prove her worth.

“I’ll try and find the information you required.” It would be hard to get information since the Ishii clan is quite secretive. Especially with the guests, most of them are probably on the police Wanted board. The Ishii members and most of their connections have a long hostile history with the police. The Ishii clan have connections with the justice system and the police didn’t bother arresting them but the same can’t be applied with some of their associate. In curtsy, the guest list stayed anonymous in order to keep some of the guest in a low profile. So it was another clue when they publicly invited the Rie family that they were scheming. “I can’t guarantee you the information though.

There was a knocked at the door again. Sayo got off her seat and walked to the entrance. As expected, the pastries have arrived and she took the package treats. The slices of cake was inside a pretty designed box and she brought it over and laid them on the living table. As she opened the packaging, she mused, “It would be better if we had some tea.”

“Take one.” All the slices of cake looked delicious, all of them were high quality as expected from in most expensive pastry shop in Hyakuji. The packaging can with a complementary plastic fork and small paper plates which was convenient since she didn’t think there was any utensils in the cupboards. She chose the pink ruffled slice and transferred into the plate. “I believe we have a deal, though I’ll talk to your supervisor but for now, let us toast with cake.”

She listened as Sayo explained that she would attempt to get the necessary information but couldn't promise anything. With most situations like these in the away teams favor Serenity had to deal with a lack of information. It wasn't a huge problem but it just made there be more things that she had to deal with.

"All I can ask is that you try." Serenity spoke as she began to formulate possible plans, it was difficult for her to make any plans without knowing who was there and what the place was like but it was better then doing nothing. "I'll handle it as best I can regardless of what information I have or not."

Turning to look as Sayo brought the cake back inside she admired the variation, there was a lot. On offer from Sayo, she reached forward and took picked up the small strawberry slice, it was her favorite flavor. The whole start of the encounter was much different, she thanked whatever deity helped her salvage the situation.

When Sayo proposed a toast with the cake Serenity nodded. "To a job well done." She didn't really celebrate jobs prior to them being completed often, it felt like it was jinxing the whole situation but she'd make an acception for this one. Placing her cake down and looked towards Sayo. "Thank you for giving me a second chance, sincerely." She was indeed sincere, she didn't want to get off on the wrong foot with her roommate but anyone would be correct in saying they did.

Sayo stiffen a little at Serenity’s sincerity due it’s unfamiliarity. She concentrated on her cake as she sorted her feelings. She should be strict on the girl for her inappropriate behaviour and it would be smart to be on her guard around her. It felt odd and illogical to just forgive and forget but she no longer have any ill feelings toward the girl. And staying mad at her would take more effort and damaging. Her childish desire to sulk is embarrassing.

She had let her interest and curiosity clouded her when she hired someone, who she was suppose to be mad at, to protect her life. She’s already giving Serenity another change so she might as well just forgive her. The prospect of forgiving was also an unfamiliar topic, she’d never been in a situation where forgiveness was important. How do you forgive someone?

Sayo cleared her mind and focused on eating her cake. After three small bites, she answered in a soft voice in acknowledgement, “Ah.”
