Known Unknowns (Noel)

Meld shook hands with her contact, Mr. Kasami. Recently she had been more than a little focused on her mutant cause to the exclusion of everything else. However money was, one again, starting to become a little tight and that meant taking on another mission or two. It was a bit of a challenge tracking down the local crime gangs of New York but, with her contacts, she had finally managed to do so. Mr. Kasami was a high ranking officer in the local Yakuza faction who also tended to be very wealthy and knew the value of employing mutant muscle. She had chosen him very carefully in seeking out a paycheck and, his reputation spoke for himself. In the human world he was known to be utterly ruthless when need be but was fair and honest in his dealings, such as they were. The mutant world, however, was where he really showed his value. In the mutant world he was known to employ a number of mutants, a couple of which were considered close confidants and others who were not directly tied to the organiation. She hadn't heard one valid complaint about his dealing with mutants; from all accounts he paid well for their services, valued their skills and treated them with the respect they deserved. He was human but the very best of what humanity had to offer.

"I look forward to meeting your daughter," Meld stated, completely profession. The daughter in question, by the name of Kira, was 15 and had just been discovered as a mutant herself. Meld's role in Kira's life was going to be as body guard, protection during certain functions in which his daughter had to be present. It would only be occasional work as such protection as she offered would only be occasionally needed, but it was long term and the pay was more than fair. There was also the implied expectation that Meld might be able to help the girl come to terms with her new reality, something she was mroe than happy to help with.

"And she looks forward to meeting you, Meld." He bowed and Meld took that as the dismissal that it was. Today would be her first meeting of the girl though her role as body guard wouldn't officially begin for a few days yet at a social gathering of several of the local high ranking crime bosses. Meld and Mr. Kasmi both thought it best, however, that Meld and Kira be familiar with each other before that dey. She intended to spend her next few hours of freedom trying to figure out exactly what a 15 year old mutant girl might appreciate as a gift from her soon-to-be body guard and then making her way to the designated address. Maybe she could call Aura and she might provide some insight. After all, Aura had to be somewhere near 15.
