Hana Taniguchi was doing what she did best, taking care of business. Honestly she was a sweetheart and if someone didn't pay up, with a good excuse she would normally give them an extension and go about her merry way. But, if her generosity was bluntly ignored she didn't always take it so well. "Mister Shigusu, I understand completely, your dog died and the third deadline just escaped your mind, but I-..." In the middle of her sentence Hana went silent, her eyes went from the man's face to the sparkling, diamond-encrusted watch he wore around his wrist. "That's a Cartier Santos 100, very expensive. In fact, it looks brand new." Her piercing hazel eyes focused back on the man and she sighed and shrugged her shoulders as if giving up, anyone who truly knew her would be aware that the switch in her brain was about to flip.

"Now now, Yuro it's imperative to my well-being, as well as the other's, that we receive proper payment for our services." Her head tilted downward and she laughed, seemingly fishing around for something in her blue blazer's pocket. She retrieved a pair of shiny brass knuckles and slipped them on her hands. "It's not even that much money really, considering you just went out and dropped a few grand on a watch." She drew closer to the man and lightly pushed him up against the wall with one hand, her other one was raised just a few centimeters from his face. "I'm not a violent person and I would really hate to break your nose over some money. Pay up and the problems solved."

"Okay okay! Look I've got the money right here, just put those things away!" The man squeaked and handed Hana a little, but thick envelope. "Thank you very much Mister Shigusu, if you ever need our services again you know exactly how to contact me. You take care!" The brass knuckles came off and Hana backed away with a genuine, flashy smile on her face. She waved at the customer and was on her way back home as if nothing had happened. "Mhm, such a nice man." She started humming on her way, the envelope tucked away inside of her jacket. She would get home and count it twice to make sure the amount was right.

Hana finally got back to the house and upon entering the front door she immediately saw Kyler along with an unfamiliar female face. "Hi, I'm Hana." She went ahead and introduced herself, her head tipping forward slightly in a quick bow. She thought about coming out and asking who she was, but it seemed kind of rude so she decided she'd find out soon enough.
