The meeting place was a mostly abandonned mansion, which was probably Aki's favorite setting in the entire world. The tall grey walls surrounding the mansion had vines ascending in a vertical direction, almost as if the plants were reaching for the light at the top of their pedestal. Their thick roots would allow even the most clumsy of people to climb over without much trouble, simply by pulling themselves up. The long un-cut grass that was surrounding the garden held plenty of opportunity to approach the buildings undetected, while also reducing the lenght at which sound would travel. Assuming the keepers were as lazy as they would seem, the building's windows were often brittle and weak, making entry into the house itself as easy as picking candy from a baby. One could almost assume that Alduin had picked this place in an attempt to please the young assassin, and pleased she was...
The sun was still up, as was customary for these incredibly long days. Twilight was however approaching in the distance. Twilight, the hour of the thief. For others in her field, arriving late was almost always preferred. It allowed them to scout out the area and decide upon the best way to contact their dealer. Aki, however, had upon brief inspection decided to arrive early. Having set up a few booby traps at the most obvious entrances to allow the assassin to know when someone was approaching, she herself had been hidden just below the roof, tucked away into a dark corner. It had been many hours since then, and Aki had been keeping a steady eye.. untill a tiny bell rang. There was someone approaching, and it seemed to be the informer. Though, even from a relatively far distance, Aki could sense that there was something wrong. As such, it would seem she wasn't the only one that had been having trouble since the letter had arrived. For now though, the only thing she could do was focus on the future. Slinking herself out of sight entirely, Aki prepared herself to make contact.. and do somewhat of a flashy appearance. ...In worst case scenario, and this wasn't Alduin, she'd be prepared to take his life. Alduin had mentioned a codeword he'd be using as a greeting. If that was not what she heard, the boy would be in for a ride through hell and back. For now, she was patiently waiting for him to enter through the front door...
Aki was wearing the hardened leather armor, this time dyed brown. The hood was pulled tightly over her head, while a cloak had been pulled over the majority of her figure. It'd be hard to make out any characteristics with the girl. Even the fact that she was female had been hidden well, save for her slim and tiny appearance. Around her head, a black mask had been pulled, while a pair of darkened shades were in front of her eyes. So far, so good. From here on, Alduin would have no way back. Once Aki was contracted, you were in for the ride. The girl hated leaving a messy job behind. Hopefully this boy wouldn't have to be cleaned up.
