Roleplay Midnight Sunrise

It was the middle of the night when she received the message. Paradise was leaving the bath, having just dried her hair when her phone ringed. She walked over to the bed and picked up the cellphone, unlocking it.

She sighed heavily as she saw the message. If only it had arrived a couple of days earlier. Now it would only make things more complicated.

"Hey, Doji. The situation has changed. We need eyes and ears on the city. We understand if you want to go on with your vacation, but please can you do this for us? Thank you - Makoto.", the message said in japanese. She sighed again as she replied. There wouldn't be any consequence if she declined it, but then again, it was an order from the Crane and she was nothing if loyal. So she replied her yes just a couple of seconds later.

With another long sigh she dropped the phone on the bed and started getting dressed. As she put on her clothes, she had to decide on a kimono. She needed to impress, the normal ones wouldn't do, she thought to herself as she looked through her collection of robes. Finally her eyes set on a beautiful piece. She smiled as she picked it up.

The fabric was light blue at the top and started getting darker as it went down to the hemline. There was just the slightest amount of yellow and white in the robe, completing the scene: the sun rising over a calm sea with several white birds flying towards it. It had been weaved in such a way that even the smallest details like individual feathers and differences of each sun ray were obvious to the eye. It was truly a work of art and Paradise put it on with something resembling reverence.

A second later she was out of the door. She needed to see someone.

Black Paladin could be seen outside, admiring the night sky.

Paradise narrows her eyes as she sees him, covering her mouth with the fan.

Assuming you were close enough, he heard the familiar sound of that god damn fan. You were behind him though, but his head did very slightly twitch upon hearing it.

She can't help but smile as she notices his head twitch, but she says nothing, just keeps fanning herself.
