Kingiku No Seiyaku Matsuri (//RP with invited parties)

[Backo]

"Si, I would appreciate it if it wouldn't bother you too much, of course."

Eliza tracked the departing would-be inquisitor in the corner of her eye. She felt a sense of relief now that there was one less opportunity to turn this weird Kusarian festival into a slaughterhouse as Valdez had come prepared for a party and not a firefight. Her attention turned back to the Contari woman.

"Perhaps we have met indeed, senora. I've had contact with senor Benito Contari of the National Council regarding my line of work, perhaps we have met through him?"

Her face had a hint of embarrassment that she tried to drown in the cheerfulness. In truth, she actually had no idea who she was talking to at the moment, but also felt it would be rude to ask the seemingly important woman for her name if they had already met.

"Are you here with the Council or as a representative of the Contari familia?"
