"Is this her, Danchou?" Shalnarks asks his boss, inquisitive of the woman he hasn't met but heard about. Shalnark flashes Chrollo on the screen of his phone to show Evelynn's latest match in Heaven Arena. "She looks different a bit different from what you've described. I think it's mainly the hair but the eyes give it away"

Chrollo narrows his eyes at her different hair color, he decides that he had preferred her black hair more. It had suited her personality. He had already felt displeased when he had heard from Machi that you were with the jester, preferring Hisoka's company over his. Chrollo was so close to attempting crushing Hisoka with his bare hands but he digressed. He wouldn't want to scare her away, he had to play it safe for now. Evelynn was like a dandelion in the wind, Chrollo could hold her in his hands but the moment the wind blows, she would be taken away. It took him seven years to see her again, he'd be damned if he loses her again for another seven. Chrollo sighs heavily, when he had met her at the ballroom, a spark had ignited, but before it could have burnt brighter, she went away like smoke. Now seven years later, she had appeared to fan the embers of a dying flame. 'I was so close to forgetting her. If she wanted to disappear then disappear without leaving a trace. Why do you have to show up and mess with my mind' Chrollo pushes his hair back, a subtle sign of frustration, all the while controlling himself to make sure his bloodlust won't show. He can never lose his composure in front of his spiders.

"It is her" Machi nods in affirmation, "I saw her when I was in Heaven's Arena. She had shown up in Hisoka's room"

"Ooh, is she close with Hisoka?"

Machi shakes her head, "No. She met Hisoka the same time the rest of the troupe did"

Shalnarks jumps off the ledge he had perched on, "Oh well, she seems like a loose woman to me. I guess her fighting skills are good but she's not that special" He had been intrigued when he had missed meeting her during the last mission.

In the back of Machi's mind, she curses Shalnark for his inability to read the room but even Machi was able to see why the boss was curious about her. Evelynn was an anomaly. Seemingly shallow, Machi thinks she isn't showing everything there is to know about her.

Pakunoda emerges from the shadows, "I think she isn't human"

"No shit, Sherlock." Phinks says, "What human has blades for tails? Actually, what human has tails at all??"

Six of the Troupe members had united at an exhibition downtown. Shalnark, Phinks, and Feitan had arrived at the underground gallery to ransack the museum to find the boss with Machi and Pakunoda with their hands already in treasures. It gave most of them a good laugh, thieves will be thieves. Stealing anything in sight. They didn't plan to stay this long, after all, it wasn't too long when they were together for their previous mission but the topic of the green-eyed woman had them staying for longer. Mixed emotions surfaced when talking about her. Annoyance was apparent in Feitan and Phinks, mild interest in Paku and Machi. The Danchou's was a little bit harder to describe and to be honest, they'd rather not try to understand.

"But you know, she reminds me of something" Pakunoda remarks. Chrollo's eyes look at Paku's giving a silent command to elaborate. "You know that painting everyone in the underground was fighting over for about a decade ago?"

Chrollo stands up making the Troupe flinch. As if something had clicked, Chrollo's eyes widen the tiniest bit. His minute expression alerting the troupe. A rumor that there was "a painting of a woman so beautiful that it will make anyone who saw it feel heaven" spread around the underground. It was one of the biggest commotions in the mafia and the black market. An all-out war with thousands of lives lost to obtain a single painting, it was so strange that even Chrollo had to raise an eyebrow at the absurdity, feeling the itch to take it for himself when the mafia took a complete 180 and became extremely silent about it. About to look into it, Chrollo was informed a certain group had it in their hands. If it was still in their possession Chrollo would never be able to see it without losing a member or two.

"Who has the painting now?" Shalnark press buttons rapidly on his cellphone before confirming Chrollo's suspicion.

"It's with the Zoldycks"

Question:{By いよみ}what is the reader's sexuality?

Answer: Evelynn is "straight". She was inspired by a game character, so her personality is based off her. She's very rude to other females lol. She leans towards men because she feeds on men and she is designed to lure men. Sort of like a succubus.

Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!❤️I hope your Christmas was still enjoyable even during the pandemic.
