Drake folded his arms, his cigarette in his mouth.
"So, you don't actually like the guy but he's got some kinda hold on you. Is that what you're saying. Or rather, what you AREN'T saying."

Dog smirked, her eyes flashing brilliantly as she stared at Drake, a bit of a challenge deep within her gaze.
"I would never insinuate anything of the sort," she murmured, her voice a low, rumbling purr.

"Riiiiight."
He rolled his eyes. So he had a way of know what they were discussing as well.
"Fine, anything I should know before I meet him?"

Dog cocked a brow slightly and shrugged.
"Sure. Two things. One, he's a total fucking prick, and most of what he says are lies to some degree or another. Two, make sure he calls you only by whatever name you tell him... Don't let him give you a nickname. Correct him if he tries."
She reached up, gently dragging her fingers along her throat, as if she could feel the collar that ran a ring around her soul. She sighed softly, then gave a shake of her head. She looked like she wanted to say something else, but she refrained.

"Gotcha. Prick, and likes to take control of you in minor ways to lead into taking advantage of you in larger ways. Typical wanna be boss bullshit. The only power they have they get from self entitlement and using others. Tsk."
He shook his head.
"What does he want from me?"

Dog shrugged. There was a lot she was willing, or able, to say... or not say. That was not one of them, and she really wasn't sure if she would divulge that information, even if she could. She pushed herself off from the wall, and began to wander towards tent city, the home of the homeless, the last hope for the hopeless. She moved with a strange, feral sort of grace, each silent step placed with purpose and intent.
Simply put: she moved like a predator.
"This way."

Drake followed more than slightly annoyed.
"Is there anything that I NEED to know going into this?"

Dog continued to lead the way, taking a path that may seem quite familiar to Drake. She didn't say much for a moment as they walked, allowing the silence to stretch out for a moment, before she finally spoke up. When she did, it was quiet.
"Yeah... One big thing that they won't mention..." She sighed softly. "They will hurt your friends. The young ones especially have their eyes on one of them."

Drake bristled at that.
"If ANYONE is harmed. I will kill them all."
He said with such hatred it could be felt coming off of him in waves.

Dog stopped where she stood, staring down at her feet. She knew what would happen if her boss got into any sort of altercation with Drake... and it looked like something weighed heavily on her shoulders for a moment. She sighed softly, reaching up and rubbing her hand across her face.
"Just... keep an eye on..." Her words seemed to be choked off at that point. Her hand fell from her face to her neck, where she rubbed it gently, as if rubbing away an ache. She gave a shake of her head and growled, a sound made low in her throat, like that of a dog. It was no wonder, in that moment, where she got her nickname. She turned to Drake, and her red eyes glowed with such a fierceness, such a rage, and such an absolute Hate, that it would stop most people in their tracks. Yet, it wouldn't be difficult to see that all of that emotion was not angled towards him, even in the slightest. She gave a nod towards the apartment complex behind them, then turned around and began to lead the way once more towards tent city.

"Fuck." He said watching as whatever hold on her was taking effect... "Fuck it, I'm going to try something, can't guarantee it will work though, so... sorry in advance!" With that Rai ran to her as he focused all his power in to one hand and placed that hand on her back or shoulder, whatever he could reach really, and place his palm flat against her as he focused his power!

Dog turned right as he reached her, moving so fast that even Drake's advanced perception wouldn't be able to register her movement. Her hand came up and gripped his wrist but did not stop him from touching her as his hand connected with her chest, right at the base of her throat. Her eyes flashed a wild, dangerous red, and seemed to fill with a light from within her, enough so that they visibly glowed. If in a dark room, they would light it up.
She pulled him, hard, into her, so that his ear was right next to her mouth. She whispered to him, her voice a soft, almost childlike whimper for a moment. "Iskeira."
Then, with a surprising amount of force, she shoved him backwards and off of her, breaking all skin contact. The glow in her eyes faded away and they returned to their typical sanguine color, and that Hate returned to them stronger than the moment before. She bared her teeth at whatever it was that she was fighting, and gave a shake of her head, like a dog trying to shake off a tick. She hissed softly under her breath. She felt, in that moment, like she had wasted her opportunity... and she rubbed her face again, growling.

He hit the ground, surprisingly hard. His eyes were wide. He had been cocky before and it was justified in the fight with Rooster, but now... he was pretty sure if he fought this woman that it wouldn't go as well...
"Iskeira?"
He would say standing up.
"What is that?"

She gave a fierce shake of her head, as soon as he repeated the word. She raised her hand up to the side of her head as if it hurt, but with her other hand, she pointed to herself, to the exact place he had touched. She snarled softly under her breath, and then shook her entire body, like a dog ridding itself of whatever.
"Nothing important. It doesn't matter. Come on. Let's go."

He would stare at her for a moment.
"You just clearly told me Iskeira, and faced a violent reaction. That's not unimportant."
He said folding his arms not moving despite the fact that she obviously wanting him to go somewhere.
