She heard a sound in the front, the bell ringing. Someone was in the front shop. Valla was kind of suprised really. She didn't expect anyone to come in until about middday, when things really got heavy. Well, she wasn't one to complain really. Valla tore her eyes away from Jace's precious sword and frowned. Well, kind of a bemused half frown anyway. Her eyes rolled in a way that said 'yeah, I'm amused, bu I don't wanna answer the door.' So she moved through th hallway to the shop.
The shop front itself was bright and clean, weapons carefully hung and shackled to the walls.[ wouldn't want anyone stealing the merchandiese eh?] The person who stood there had grayish silver hair, and a scarred up face. He was wearing KG armor, and she wondered if he was the new informant she was promised. Well, she wasn't going to say anything. The informant all knew the code they needed to use to e able to talk to her. Valla put on a bright smile that was so unlike her and decided maybe this wasn't going to be a bad deal. The guy was taking out his wallet anyway.
"Hey, you're not bothering me. This is my job. So you want to comission my services? Well, what kind of weaponry do you want?" She asked in a gliding tone. She kind of wantd this to go by quick so that she could get baack to that old sword, and with it Jace.

Jace watched Valla go to the front of the shop. Once she was out of sight he realized just how vulnerable he had been. Jace cussed internally and had a total face-palm moment. What was he thinking? She had nearly killed him! Then again he had been drunk and was pulling a knife on some guy for making a comment. Jace frowned, why was he contradicting himself? It was her. She was making him feel strange and weak. This was out of Jace's comfort zone completely.
Jace leaned against the work table looking at the sword. Viper, that's who he was. This soft, vulnerable weakling wasn't an assassin! If he was...he'd be dead in seconds. But he enjoyed being like this for once. He was vulnerable around one other person now. That was Raven. Before he had been hurt beyond words he was like this with his father and Isabel, ever since they had abandoned him and left him to rot in this hell hole, he had never been the same.
Sure Jace kept his sarcastic, dark humor, but now it had more of a bitter sense to it. Jace sighed and ran his fingers through his golden hair. His eyes had hardened a bit, but he kept a softness for only Valla to see. Anyone else who saw this side of him...died.

Cardian smiled, ''i was actually looking for someone to repair this old thing'' he said taking out his carbine. He chambered a round and pointed it at the floor. He then pulled the trigger. Nothing happened, all he heard was a dull click. ''you see it jammed last night and i had heard that you where the best weapon smith in the city i thought i would come to you''

Valla watched as he chambered the round and tried to fire. The dull sound she heard was not a good sign. Jeez what had he been doing? Shooting marshmallwos from it? She wondered if it was gooped up or if the mechanisms were actually broken.
"Well, tell me a bit about this weapon. How long have you had it." She wanted to take it now, but figured she would talk to him first. She kinda wished Jace would come up here, but that wasn't likely. Stupid anti-social guy was going to sit back there in the forge and mope over his latest problems. Jeeze, he needs a girlfriend. And not me She thought acidly.

''Well i got this thing about 10 years ago. I think the mechanism may be gummed up. You see this crazy underground chick stuck her finger in the barrel a while back and the old girl hasn't sounded right since'' He smile at his own stupidity but also at the girl, no Definitely at the girl. He didn't know why but he had been told to come here by one of his old underground mates. He had asked for a favor, he wanted Cardian to work as an Informant for a while in exchange for a few Emergency RPG's and an up to date defense system for his house. he just didn't want to make it too obvious until the guy in the back left.

Jace decided to go up to the front of the shop. Valla was taking a long time and his vulnerability was dwindling. His eyes went back to their cold, hard, gem-like appearance and his mouth turned up into his usual bitter smirk. As soon as he walked to the front he caught the guy looking at Valla and something inside Jace exploded. What was this guy's problem? Was the only reason he came in here to flirt? Jace's smirk stayed in place, but behind it, his teeth ground together.
"Hm nice gun. What'd you do to it? Did you throw it at something like a cave man? Or did you hit someone with it? You do know how to work a gun don't you?" Jace said in his dark humorless tone that came out when he was challenged. But the difference was...he hadn't been challenged, no one had questioned his abilities and yet there he stood mouthing off to a complete stranger.
Let's see what she does...Jace sneered in his mind as he glanced at Valla. What Jace didn't think about was that this guy may not even be looking at her for attraction purposes, but as far as he knew...this guy was going after the only other person that had seen a side of Jace that was off limits.
Jace considered draping his arm over Valla's shoulders as a claim, but he knew better. She'd easily break his arm off if he even thought about it. As Jace realized that he had indeed been thinking about it he looked away from Valla so she wouldn't notice.

Valla took the gun and examined it for a moment. It was gummed up and broken. Some of the finer metal pieces were cracked and corroded, telling her whoever had fixed this thing the last time had done a half assed job. She turned around as Jace gave his little sarcastic tirade. Except to all but her ears it would have sounded like a threat and not sarcasm. Really Jace. Who care's if he's flirting. You know I'm not interested, I know I'm not interested, and that's all that should matter. She sighed and rolled her eyes at him.
The woman took a tool kit from under the counter. Inside were different tools and pieces of varying sizes. She pulled out a few screw drivers and cleaning clothes and started to slowly dismantle the weapon. " Well, I think I forgot to mention, I'm Vallacenia Zyrrce. I run Ironworks" She said, using her buisness name. There were very few people who knew her real name, and some of them were dead. She grumbled something under her breath and looked at the inside of the weapon. It hadn't been properly cleaned for a while.
"So what's your name stranger?" She asked him quietly as she worked on the weapon. She saw Jace make a move like her was going to lay an arm on her and she gave him an evil eye. If he even thought about it she would break off his arm and shove it where the sun didn't shine.

''I don't take kindly to being insulted sir'' Cardian whispered, Red eco was gathering over his arms, turning his veins blood red which showed through the skin. Ever since that stuff had awakened in him it had been effecting his moods, driving him into rages which took all of his love of life and devotion to master. He quickly pulsed white Eco through himself cleansing the rage. ''do not do that again'' he said staring into the guys eyes, he bared his teeth, another thing the new Eco's where doing to him was that they caused him to act slightly like an animal. He looked back to the girl, hoping she hadn't seen ''My name, sweet lady is Cardian Zane of the KG Special forces, pleas ask your friend to back off, unless of course i am intruding on'' he cleared his throat ''A complex relationship''

Jace looked around in shock. Did he really just say that?! What was this guy a moron? Obviously he hadn't ever heard of Jace before, and didn't know what NOT to say to him. This Cardian Mr. KG wuss was asking to be insulted. Jace put on his most arrogant and sarcastic smirk he had and looked from Valla to Cardian. "Insulted huh? Well I don't see it as insulting really. I mean maybe to a sensitive teenage girl going through some serious PMSing, but not to a grown man who claims to be Mr. KG Special Forces. Usually when one thinks of a KG officer, they think manly and tough enough to handle a simple comment from a man who knows weapons better than most." Jace sneered and chuckled softly, "But not I. No when I think of a KG officer, I see someone like you. Someone who can't take a small joke and who gets all worked up about nothing."
Jace's eyes turned cold and mocking. All signs of the previous vulnerability...were gone. This was the side everyone saw, the side that had been made at a young age. "Now if you're done overreacting and assuming that this nice lady here and I are having a 'complex relationship' you can leave and pick your screwed up weapon when she's finished. Sound like a plan? Good. Run along to your boss and tell him how the big bad man was being mean to you." He said the last part through his teeth.
Now that the snide, sarcastic, arrogant Jace was through, the cruel, brutal, killer Jace was taking a turn. Jace was seriously tempted to go back to the back room and grab his sword merely as a precaution/threat tool, but he wasn't in the mood to have some moronic KG officer try and take him to the big HQ. It wouldn't be the first time he had almost been caught. Heck, his sister's boyfriend tried on a daily basis and failed every single time. Most of the time it ended with Shane getting a black eye, broken bone, and verbal beating. Jace was not the person to mess with, he was quick and ruthless. After all, he had been trained by the best. DB was his boss, not that many knew that.

Cardian smiled, this arrogant fool thought that he could do or say whatever he wanted, well he would show him. His eyes slowly turned red, the whites began to glow, his arms started to return to their previous state but with blue mingled with the red this time. He slowly walked over to a display wall in the shop. He looked at a battle axe, grabbed it, quickly spun and hurled it at a space just above Jace's right ear. He quickly followed with a yellow Eco ball and then he charged, pumping blue and red eco into his arms. He was having another flashback and this time it was serious. He scream a war cry and flung himself at Jace.
