Nothing much happened after you were seated along  with them. You were thankful that you sat next to a stranger and was away from Hisoka nor Illumi. Hisoka being Hisoka, you worry that he might do something reckless and expose your cover. You don't know anything much about Illumi. He's just 'Killua's brother' after all.

You averted your attention towards the stranger sitting next to you. This 20-something guy was reading an art catalogue. He wore a classic black and white suit. You noticed how his tie is green, matching the head band wrapping his forehead. You focused to his upper regions. Most male participants had their hair slicked back in the signature mafia hairdo, but it seems like he chose to defy and let his hair down.

It's like he's trying to stand out instead of blending in, but also perplexing every eye that meets his figure.

"Monet, huh?" You said with a warm tone, but still striking enough to catch his attention. He stared at you surprised. You've got him hooked in an instant.

"Tu aimes ses peintures?"

AND HE SPEAKS FRENCH? I-

The words rolled out of his mouth vivaciously. He seemed to have successfully adopted a real good accent, which made you shiver to your core. He is one attractive man, no- he is perfect.

"Non, j'adore!" You replied to him with your best might. You took a moment to appreciate the decision you made after you finished your hunter's exam.

You were almost sure that learning languages was going to be a waste of time, but now it feels like you were deemed to use it in this exact moment.

His eyes lit up in an instant and a seemingly visible grin ascended on his lips. He subsequently looked away and decided to look at you through his peripheral-vision. "Ms. (Y/N), was it?"

Your brows lifted on their own. Your eyes widened to its maximum size and slowly dilating back to its normal size. How does he know about your name? Did he do his research on me? No way. We just met two minutes ago. You were dying to know.

"I suppose that is a yes. My name is Chrollo Lucilfer, but skip the formalities—call me Chrollo, please,"

His charisma was radiating, controlling the atmosphere between the both of you. Even Hisoka and Illumi were flustered by the energy.

He offered his right hand to you. You gave in for a handshake but instead he held your hand and flip it around. He dragged it closer to his lips and kissed your knuckles.

You were trying your best to ignore the gesture and in fact suppress the throb he just gave to your heart. Hisoka rolled his eyes upon the view while Illumi didn't bother to bat his eye.

"Spare me the formalities too, I am (Y/N) (L/N)." Chrollo chuckled lightly as a response.

"Say, have you had the chance to see Claude in person?" he sat his eyes down comfortably meeting yours. He had a one of a kind gaze, almost mind controlling. You kept calm.

"No."

"That's a shame, you ought to! What made you fall in love with Claude?"

You swore Claude was an iconic artist and that impressionism is your favorite style. Being an art hunter, your words were very vivid when it comes to describing a masterpiece. Chrollo was impressed with you. He observed you as he was eager to learn more about you.

"I think we've had enough of your yapping, (Y/N)."

Hisoka's voice didn't even pierce through the atmosphere you shared with Chrollo. Talking about works of art connected you two as one. Hisoka was upset as you two ignored his comments.
