It had been a normal day for Titaniya at the Black Bull’s base, she had gotten a bit before noon and gotten ready for the day only to have found out she was being assigned on a rather tedious mission. The mission might sound simple, blend into a crowd and catch some guy, but in this case it was much more annoying because that crowd happened to be a noble house party of some kind and the person she was meant to catch was an aristocrat spy. It did not end there however because she ALSO had to be blending in by going along with another one of her teammates, not that she minded that part it just added a bit more annoyance to act the part of someone's date.
Sure she is a noblewoman born and raised in a household that taught proper manners at such events how to walk, talk, sit, and eat just overall how to carry one self, but she was never a fan of it just her looming self tended to draw attention of the less wanted degree from such parties and snide remarks over it. Titaniya was and still is not a fan.
Upon getting this news she went about first getting properly prepared for this. This consisted of heading for a thorough bath making sure to get as clean as physically possible and of course wash her hair. Then she went about getting an outfit, now dresses were very much not her style but she needed to blend in and a tuxedo would not be the best for that, however she also realized she would probably be noticed anyway given her stature so it would not be so bad.
In the end she chose the tuxedo as it was best to keep with something that fit your overall look and the dress would really not help that. With her outfit out of the way she addressed her hair getting it in its normal horned look while. Then she stood to wait for the compatriot she was meant to go on this mission with, Chisana. She did not know much about him yet but this should be a good way to get to know more on how he operates.
In the meanwhile she stood half looming once again just outside the entrance to the bulls, watching out into the distance in thought on how best to go about this take down waiting for her partner in this to show up and hopping he dressed for the occasion.

Just another day for the Shengxiao that had gotten into the Black bulls. Chisana had decided to stay at the base last night instead of making the trip home, he had been busy with the training that the Captain had pushed onto him during one of his drunken episodes. Which usually Chisana never minded much about them until they started to interfere with his sleep then it was just annoying.
Chisana got up, did his morning stretches so that his muscles would not be stiff and sore from the training and got ready for the day as he usually did. He proceeds to head to the request board to see a note pinned for him about a mission that he had been thrown onto by the captain, "Joy what has he signed me up for now?" Chisana thought to himself as he proceeded to read the request, it seemed that they would be heading to a party thrown by the nobles in search of a possible double agent suspected by the prince himself. They would need to blend into the crowd and hopefully capture the agent without too much of an issue. Chisana looked at his daily outfit, which was a white dress shirt, black pants, a black suit vest. For most noble parties this outfit would be set if he got his coat that went with it but he had a full suit that he had put aside for special occasions which was basically the same style as what he was wearing now but made of better material and fully cleaned and proper. So Chisana looked at where he was supposed to meet up with the other squad member who was to be his "date" and headed off to the bathing area to get thoroughly cleaned up and ready.
Once he was all set and squared away for the evening in front of him making sure his grimoire holder and suit were properly set Chisana made his way towards the meeting place, unsure of who he was suppose to be meeting with. What he saw as he approached was a towering person around the meeting spot, seemed to be a woman in a tuxedo which was a style that sometimes showed up more often in magic knights then standard women. Chisana assumed that this was suppose to be his “date” for the night and smiled, the woman hadn’t seemed to notice him yet so he waved at her, “Hello there, My name is Chisana Shengxiao I believe I am to be your “date” for the request.” He would say as he pulled out the request form. This woman stood close to a foot taller than Chisana which was something that hardly happened for the fifteen-year-old boy but was not something so unexpecting.
As Titaniya waited she pondered on how was best to go about this, what might be good is to arrive with her date then split off some time after getting into the party in order to go about gathering some recon in how best to take the supposed tractor in without arousing to much suspicion that they are knights and without showing signs of being a magic knight. This would be quite an annoying task or so she figured as it was bound he would not go in without a fight and he might have guards.
Her thought was interrupted by her ‘date’ being ready to go, the girl turning to face him half looming over him a bit as she spoke “Oh wonderful. I was beginning to think you would stand me up.” she kept her normal blank expression as she added “That was a joke. I'm Titaniya Somerset, Good to meet you. I look forward to seeing you work.” she held out one of her white gloved hands as to see about shaking his hand, then after that she would begin to walk expecting him to walk with her. “Let us go then, don't want to be late for the festivities.”
The pair would then probably start making their way quickly to the capital for the party, Titaniya speaking about her plan on the way. “So I think once we get there we should try to mingle into the crowd to wait for the guy to show and then to watch him and try to find an opportune time to take him down, we need to not have cover blown or else we will get in trouble with the person who requested this. So we need to try and get him away from the rest of the party to take him in.” she then would of course let the boy get his opinion in.

Chisana studied the large woman. She seemed distant, with a hint of nobility. Her expression seemed to say “boredom” with the world and Chisana wasn’t sure if it was just a lack of interest in the world or maybe she was someone who didn’t express herself that well. Wasn’t all that big of a deal for Chisana, all they had to do was keep their heads down and find whoever they were suppose to capture and then hopefully make it as smooth as possible to get said person out of the party without making a scene. Whether or not that will be possible was up in the air considering his partner and himself weren’t all the most common of party goers.
Considering his “date” was close to a foot taller than himself and wore a suit instead of a dress which Chisana was sure would draw some attention since not to many people ever got to that size. His date made a straight face statement and then told him how it was a joke and was very business like introducing herself as Titaniya Somerset and once they had shaken hands she begun to walk towards the party. Chisana followed along keeping pace and listening to his partner, who was discussing how they should go about keeping out of sight and mind of the people they were looking for and hopefully figure out how to get their target easily and without hassle to the party.
“If he has backup which I’m sure he will since most nobles have guards if we can lead him to somewhere secluded like maybe out into the garden or something we could take care of whoever they have with them.” Chisana said as they came closer to the house where the party was being held. “Or we could try and separate the guards from the target at least and deal with them in two parts, what type of magic do you use? I use golems so I can easily make up for being by myself if we decide to do this as one of us getting the guards and one of us gets the target.” Chisana mentioned. He was simply thinking of the various ways they could go about making this the easiest and least scene causing route. Chisana had only heard very minimal of what the target could use magic wise but most guards were usually low level soldiers anyways so Chisana was sure he could handle them easily by himself but he wasn’t sure what his partner was good at or what they had in mind.
Either way he would have to rely on his ability to use golems for any kind of back up needed at his current level he could summon sixteen junior grade golems to help if they need to block off a place or surround the target and the guards.
Titaniya nodded a bit as she would stand listening to him explain a bit on how they think best to take care of potential guards and him talking about what magic they used. So the other bull used golems also though he did not go into much detail on what else he had up his sleeves.
She would speak when she had the chance while starting on the walk out of here “My magic also uses golems, however I also utilize defensive magic as well as body reinforcement, so I can mostly handle things on my own without needing to call on golems.” She kept her plain tone “In any case dealing with them in parts might be a good idea as to try and keep things from being too obnoxious, however I doubt it will be easy to get a guard to wander from who they are guarding.”
Soon enough the pair fully entered into the party Titaniya going about well, blending in rather well with the nobility, her expression becoming from her dull standard to one much more friendly and warm her voice much kinder in tone, seeming she was really rather good at choosing how her expression looked. Of course she got looks from other people, due to her size and such, but she definitely had the full act of a noble down and the only strange thing of her height was slightly disregarded, though people were sure to not let her stand right next as not to feel small.
Soon she would notice the target, and his bald headed goons large in stature and standing in close proximity to the target, one standing just behind the man and the other just standing near a wall staying further away from the target. Titaniya would try to be subtly nearer wondering how best to get them apart. She would see about letting the other bull take up with his plan of getting them apart and follow his lead if he does something.

As they entered the house where the party was taking place the two bulls seemed to individually look for their target and once they located the noble and his entourage Chisana gave a quick nod to his looming partner and made a path over to where the noble and his guards were. The guards looked at him suspiciously but didn’t feel like this boy would be much of a threat and they were in public area so they weren’t as on guard as they would have been anywhere else. Chisana smiled his polite smile and addressed the noble in question, “Hello sir, I am Chisana Shengxiao from the Shengxiao family would you like to partake in some of the hosts’ wine with me and some of the other guests?” He waved his hand over at a random group of nobles who happened to be looking over at him due to reasons that Chisana was not knowledgeable about.
The noble Frank Johnson looked at this boy and while he would have normally told him to kick rocks he felt the eyes of the rest of the guests and hated how certain rules had to be followed when dealing with other nobles. Unless he had a good reason not to join the group he could offend someone from that group and cause a handful of issues down the line and with what he did in his “free-time” he didn’t need anyone watching him to closely. “I would be quite happy to join you for it seems tonight’s host has gone the extra measure with the spread.” He would entertain these peons for now and then he would continue with his task for tonight, he followed the young noble and his guards shadowed him, but he waved them away. The presence of guards while in a group like this would be frowned upon especially in such a public away, “Go entertain yourselves for now but don’t go to far.” He told his guards.
Chisana smiled as he introduced himself and his new “friend” to the random group of nobles, it had been quite lucky that he had been taught quite a bit about the Noble society when he joined the Shengxiao family because if he hadn’t then this wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as it had. Now he just hoped that his partner could take care of the guards while he distracted the target. He scanned the group and found his partner doing whatever it was that they were doing they were quite a distance away so it was difficult to tell what it was but Chisana hoped they had noticed that the guards and target were separated now. Chisana begun to think of the next stage of his plan so that once he knew that the guards were taken care of he could take care of the target and they could finish this mission without incident.
