Alastair watched as Angelo gave his speech, his own little piece on the subject of the Dragons wasn't necessary it seemed as people were chomping at the bit to join up. Alastair briefly ran through what he would've said if they had decided not to join up with Angelo. His pale lips curled gently into a soft smile as he thought of the time the Dragons had attempted to take protection from the Atelier of Ren.
“Give us the money now!’ one of the Dragons spoke, a lieutenant of the gang apparently…Scales…something ridiculous like that, a thin finger jabbing into Alastair’s chest “We won’t ask again”
Alastair gave a short smile to the Dragons that circled around him “Please…can we take this outside” his voice coming out gently as he strode quickly through the open doorway, pulling a white handkerchief from his pocket and tying it across the lower half of his face. The action was more ritual than a way to really conceal his identity. He turned to face the Dragons, they moved like an ill-tempered swarm of ants. Their colours emblazoned upon their clothing, three stepped forward. Alastair fell into a stance that felt all too familiar; hands in the pockets of his pants and his upper body leaning back gently into a curve. He smiled underneath the white mask he wore and lifted his right leg up, bent at the knee and ready to strike.
The Dragons didn't return to the Atelier after that day.
Alastair snapped from his revelry as he watched Angelo’s fledgling gang begin to crumble already. The woman, who was admittedly rather cute, cut down one of the guys who had already showed himself to be a bit of a thick skulled human being. Alastair gave a short sigh and cleared his throat “I suggest you two simmer down and leave that misappropriated anger at the door” his head titled gently as he pulled himself off the chair and stood, hands in pocket and a grin on his lips “and save it for the people shaking down the stores” he gave a short shrug and he looked pointedly at the guy that was just chewed out by the girl and smiled as he started spouting about her sitting on the sidelines. He rolled his shoulders gently and gave a little whistling noise “A sexist too…I think I NEED to kick your ass now…just on principal…”
