The city was bright and vibrant, the late evening filled with lights and music, chatter and laughter. Chishiki moved through it like anyone else, blending into the crowd as if she belonged. She paused at a food stall, coming away with a chocolate taiyaki, smiling at passers by, almost with a spring in her step as she turned the main street and into a quieter part of the city.
Chishiki was in a good mood. Full House was nearly dealt with, and the Oracle's meeting had given her some good ideas of her next move. She took a bite of the fish-shaped chocolate bread, moving into the darker parts of the city. Chishiki didn't worry about other villains, or thieves. She could deal with petty thugs.
She paused, finishing off the taiyaki with grace and poise. Chishiki lit a cigarette as she turned her head, looking back without wariness. It was more like she was waiting for someone, and that would be true. Their communication trails had crossed, and a shared focus had become apparent.
Chishiki blew smoke into the air, smiling gaily to nobody. The thought of carving a future for her family gave her warm butterflies.
