The train whistled as Allen and Lavi hopped off the train, Lavi stepping down first then helping Allen jump off the last step with a smile. The town they were in was actually very peaceful. Green fields and small shacks for the local residents. The only eyesore was the giant mansion at a distance up a hill from the small village.
"That's where our assignment is" Lavi pointed at the large building that seemed over-sized even with the miles difference between it and the two young men.
"Must be very wealthy.." Allen mumbled as he compared the mansion to the tiny shacks of the villagers that looked like they could tumble with a simple poke.
But the people seemed happy enough. Children running past playing with large grins and elderly women hanging clothes together in the fields while the sound of wood chopping sounded from the small forest separating the village and the mansion.
"No finder?" Allen looked around again, noticing the lack of their usual helper to escort them through their mission.
Lavi pulled out the small mission folder again and skimmed the page. "The client wanted to meet us personally and escort us.." well that was new for both of the boys.
Allen looked around again. How were they suppose to know who was coming for them? No photo was included in the brief mission profile.
"You two must be from the Black Order, am I correct?" Lavi and Allen turned to see who they guessed was their assignment.
Lavi made sure to mark down every detail about the man. His tall but slim build, dusty brown hair and extremely pale skin. The suit seemed awfully flashy considering the torn rags of clothes the villages wore and even made Allen and Lavi's exorcist coats seem cheap with its silky detail and special tailor made design.
Lavi's eye narrowed as he noticed their assignment's own eyes just happened to be looking Allen over. Lavi watched as those pale blue irises raked down the body Lavi knew personally to be lovely beyond words. It made the red head mad and when Allen finally noticed the boy seemed to shy from the gaze but still smiled politely.
"I am Allen Walker and this is my partner Lavi" Allen extended his hand in a polite manner, awaiting the other male to shake his hand. But instead the younger exorcist was surprised when instead of another firm hand grasping his, he felt a soft grip on his fingertips and equally soft lips resting on the back of his hand.
Lavi's eye narrowed further as he noticed Allen's cheeks flush and a smile Lavi didn't trust spread across the other male's cheeks.
"My name is Jonathan Wesley, I appreciate the Orders work very much" Jonathan leaned down to kiss Allen's hand again before Lavi stepped between the two, taking Allen's hand and squeezing gently before releasing it.
"And we appreciate your business. Now why did you hire us? The information you gave was well… quite bare" Lavi did not move from between Allen and Jonathan, making sure there was a space to keep them away.
Jonathan didn't bother to hide his dissatisfaction with Lavi's actions, glaring at the red head before replying, "Someone's tried to break into my mansion three times in the past month."
"Do you know what they were after?" Lavi asked again.
Jonathan shook his head. "I have no idea but enough chit-chat, how about I take you up to the mansion and get you settled in" Jonathan looked past Lavi at Allen, seeing the boy look down as if to hide his face.
Nothing seemed to get past Lavi as he moved an inch over again to completely block Jonathan's view of Allen with a glare.
