Kane is walking down in Chinatown. Actually walking. On foot. He moves quietly for all that he carries with him. Behind this market in a little square is a small ley line nexus. Tiny thing by comparison really. But it's… well… it's enough to draw the spooks out. Looks clear tonight though. Actually rather pretty when no ghouls are feeding on it.

***

Zee knows that The Fox can be found in Chinatown, he's as much told her that before and she's looking for him. Yes, to pester him somewhat but also to see about that ley line sanitising device they found… Following her magical senses to that nexus, the young magician walks up behind him "Hello there Fox. I've been looking for you…." She's wearing a dress tonight, one that sits about mid thigh, stockings, knee high high heel boots and the now, ever present, diamond encrusted collar.

Peering past Kane, Zee looks at the nexus and grins broadly "That's pretty… don't you think?"

***

Kane turns and peers over to Zee and chuckles a little behind that mask. "Yes, it is rather." The ley line, or Zee? Good question. Perhaps both? "Not your usual outfit tonight. Looks rather well…" That collar is… rather ever present. He wonders what it means. And who it means. BUt he doesn't ask. "It's nice to see you tonight. Looking for me were you?"

***

Kane turns and peers over to Zee and chuckles a little behind that mask. "Yes, it is rather." The ley line, or Zee? Good question. Perhaps both? "Not your usual outfit tonight. Looks rather well…" That collar is… rather ever present. He wonders what it means. And who it means. BUt he doesn't ask. "It's nice to see you tonight. Looking for me were you?"

***

Zee smiles broadly at the compliment, it was right? "Why thank you Fox, I like to mix it up a bit." The young magician watches him carefully and raises her hand to the collar unconsciously "It's nice to see you too, and I was looking for you, for two reasons." Moving to stand next to the Fox, the young womans smile turns slightly impish "I wanted to see you …. " let's see what he makes of that "and I wanted to ask about that device that was sanitising the leyline. I have someone who would like to see it, and maybe speak to Andrea about what she saw."

***

"Andrea… I can introduce you. Though not tonight. She had a fit tonight, she won't be up to talking till tomorrow. However I did get the device back from her with some… interesting results." He's got it not too-too far from here. "And I'd be happy to give it to you if you need it." Beat. "Wanted to see me, mm?"

***

"That would be awesome, my friend Rune … well acquaintance really… would like to see the device. If I could get it…." The news about Andrea has her frowning "Will Andrea be ok? Anything I can do to help?" His last question causes her to flush a little, but Zee might be a little bold, blame it on her stage training. "Yeah, I did… I've told you Fox, I like you."

***

Kane chuckles and looks over the nexus once more, watching it flare through his crystal. "Seizures. She's okay now, just resting. Comes with her gift, sadly. Not all that uncommon." The Fox's reaction is difficult to tell under that hood. "Mmmm, so you did." He doesn't sound like he objects. "Well, care to walk with me? We'll get that device."

***

Zees told him that at least twice now. He's nice… friendly and he talks to her about cool druid stuff but it's more than that too. "Yeah, I've heard that about people with visions. I've not explored my ability there" Zee shrugs a little "Apparently my people have the ability." The fact that he sounds like he doesn't object has her smiling even more impishly, poor Fox…. "Sure, I'll walk with you" Looking back at the nexus she offers her arm to The Fox "What have you been lately…"

***

The Fox casts a look at that arm and… cants his head. Mmmmm. Couldn't hurt, right? It may not be real comfortable. Leather and linen it may be, made for comfort and movement but it's still kind of armor so… not really casual clothing he's in. "Keeping an eye on Chinatown and elsewhere. My usual. Things haven't really slowed down, though I get more help with them lately. Met some of the Bats and the Titans." Beat. "Frankly, I prefer you and the little black bat who keeps taking my swords. The others are… either arrogant or juvenile or both."

***

Zee doesn't mind the leather and linen, it's kind of cool really, and lets him take the arm if he wants. Walking beside him, she tilts her head and grins a little "Well I suppose I should be pleased that you prefer me" her grin widens "and that you don't class me as juvenile. My team mates are alright, they just take a bit of getting used to." Zee's only seen Batgirl so can't comment on the Bats at all.

***

The expression on the lower half of his face makes it look like he bit into a lemon. "I really do, and you're really not." The druid sighs. Gar was okay and Vorpal… has hit him in the face with a flamingo, but was okay. Some others though… ugh. "So I'm quite sorry but I have to ask… that collar, was it a gift or just… something you really like?"

***

"Well I'm glad" Zee can be out there sometimes. Kanes question about the collar has her hand rising again and she blushes a little "It's a funny story really. It's a gift, and it's a bit of a joke as well." Taking a few minutes, the young magician explains about Jericho and Illyana and how the collar came to be and then shrugs "I do really like it. It's pretty… but… it was represents something that I gave up as well" The soulsword and ruling limbo. "I dunno, it's hard to explain."

***

Kane is perhaps one of the few who wouldn't dismiss that out of hand. He doesn't know of Limbo, but he does understand the principles of magic. Nothing's ever free, and that includes giving something up. "So it means something to you. It's how you remember." The druid nods. "That makes sense, I think. It's why you always wear it…" He peers over. "What does the tag say?"

***

Zee looks pleased he understands … Keith was jealous and Misfit confused… but she does colour at his question "I ummmm don't really know…" it's her turn to sigh "but knowing those two, it's part of the joke, right…." she actually peers at Kane to gauge his reaction to that.

***

"Could be?" The druid shrugs. He doesn't use magic that casually but then he has to work at it fairly hard. If you could do it that effortlessly… why not? "Or it could be part of however they made it or… maybe it's just squiggles." Sure looks like a language though and the writing kind of crawls. He looks a away after a bit and steps over by a bush to lift a briefcase out. "Here we go."

***

The writing does crawl and Zee watches as the Fox looks away. As he lifts the briefcase out of the bush she frowns… "That's not really safe is it?" Sure probably someone non-magical would find it, but that's not a safeguard.

***

"Safe enough." Kane nods up. On top of the building the bush was planted near is a large spectral tiger, looking down. "There's a reason I was walking, after all." He grins.

***

Looking up Zee blinks a few times and then nods "I might just get you to show me that trick, Fox." It is pretty impressive after all. Watching Kane, waiting for him to hand the case over, Zee tilts her head "What are you going to do now, then?" That impish smile is back.

***

"No real plans. It's been an average night… and while there's not really a pattern to these things, usualy, it's well passed the witching hour and dark beasties will be thinking of getting under cover before the dawn." The fact that they come out at night is one reason why Kane does this at night.

He does hand the case over, offering it handle first.

***

"Want to hang out together then?" Zee offers her best smile "We could just walk, or get coffee or something… " she shrugs. It doesn't really matter what they do, the offer was made. As he offers the case she takes it and then, with a murmur, the case disappears. "I've sent it to Shadowcrest. It will be safe there till I get it to Rune." She nods with a conviction that can only be gained through experience.

***

"Probably best if I don't get coffee like this." The druid says with an arch chuckle. "But I don't at all mind the company. I'm headed back on my last leg. Through the park… truth be told I save it for last because there usually isn't anything there and if I get into a few fights and have to lick my wounds it's pretty safe to skip."

***

"I told you last time, Fox… if we get coffee, I'll put my stage costume on… they can look at me as much you. Perhaps they'll think we've been at a fancy dress party or something." Poor Kane, Zee's irrepressible really. But she nods and offers her arm again "To the park then… maybe it's as pretty as that nexus was."
