Knock knock
Who: Karine and Nikita
Where: Cherryblossom Place - Nikita's Office
When: 1:30 p.m.
Going outside in the day. Not Karine's favorite thing to do and not only because it weakened her, though that did have a lot to do with it. But the fact that she had to go out if she wanted to get anything done, that bothered her. A little bit of research about this town had turned up quite the list of interesting names she wanted to pop in on. But apparently her old contacts had started abiding by business hours and it'd be so much more fun to see their faces herself rather than just calling and asking for a special, nighttime appointment. That and Whisper wasn't home yet and she'd already cleaned and straightened the house five times and really... it was just odd to be in Whisper's home, full of her scent, and not have her there. Getting out was good for her sanity.
Even if it meant wearing long-sleeves and a wide-brimmed hat that surely called attention as much as the golden waves of her hair that spilled out underneath. Let them stare, it wasn't that far of a walk from where she parked her car to the front door of this building where one old contact had apparently taken up residence. Nikita Vostrikova. Karine didn't believe for a second that this could be anything more than a front. A Rose did not just take up the mantle of a landlord even if they'd had issues to the fall of Soviet Russia. Karine had done enough business in the underground market to know these things.
"Yes," Karine said when the person at the front desk asked if they could help her. At least the place was clean... perhaps it would only need one dusting and vacuuming, her fingers fairly itching to fix that problem "I'm here to see Nikita."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"No, but she'll see me." Karine didn't doubt that.
"Who should I tell her is here?"
"Charlton. The British one." It'd been so long since Karine had used the name of a male that she'd quite forgotten it. Wouldn't do to be incorrect and have an irritated Nikita who had expected someone else. Roses could be a little temperamental and Nikita did have that trigger happy problem.
