Zephyranth had already got dinner made before six as she had a gig as Lilianthe II.

Not that the others knew.

But because Reborn could not read her, he was naturally curious.

She quickly left saying she'd be back by 10.

Unknown to her, Reborn decided to trail her.
------------
He followed her to a speakeasy to his surprise and she went around the back.

Figuring she was a singer for a gig, he got (intimidated the management) a private table.

Then the lights went low as the host announced the next show starting.

"And now we present the most beautiful flower of the Ritz, Miss Lilianthe."

And curtains revealed a silver long-haired female with light violet eyes. Her curvy figure left a lot to the imagination along with her dress, but this was the same woman that Reborn saw at Mafia Land!

As she sang in a way Jessica Rabbit would approve of, Reborn first wondered where Zephyranth was but then he quietly saw that Lilianthe had a similar facial and bone structure

As she sang in a way Jessica Rabbit would approve of, Reborn first wondered where Zephyranth was but then he quietly saw that Lilianthe had a similar facial and bone structure. While he wasn't a real doctor, he knew enough to get a degree.

It was Zephyranth!

After singing over 7 different songs as men drooled like dogs, Lilianthe headed back to her dressing room for a break to let the next act perform.

What she did not expect was for Reborn to show up in her dressing room.

"I have to admit, you are quite a sight not to mention a pleasure to hear, Lilianthe II, or rather Zephyranth." Reborn smirked.

"What are you doing here? Did you lie to the manager you were my new guard, agent or something?" Zephyranth asked.

"Maybe."

Zephyranth sighed as she sat in front of her dresser and cleaned her face of makeup before going behind a changing screen.

The door knocked.

"Miss Lilianthe. Your dinner is here along with the gifts from your fans." A  waitress said.

"My agent will get them, thank you." Zephyranth said.

Taking the cue, Reborn got the dinner and gifts inside.

"You really are popular aren't you?" Reborn commented.

"Yeah, but I never accepted a date. They want the sexy Lilianthe, not the real me." Zephyranth said as she appeared in a new dress to have dinner.

After eating, the door knocked again.

"Miss Lilianthe, 30 minutes."

"Alright. So you don't tell anyone alright?"

"Of course, but why take up this and stuntwork?"

"Well, I created Lilianthe since I was never treated like a woman before being in the Mafia. And before you ask, no my parents never abused me. They died when I was barely a year old. My maternal relatives left much to be desired, however. But I never made contact with them after I turned 18. Last I heard my aunt and uncle are rotting and six feet under. Heh. And after they lied of my parents being a hoe and a drunkard and dying  in a car crash. After they hit their 40s, Aunt Petunia started fooling around with other men behind her husband's back, and he wound up getting drunk three months after he saw me at a gala as a contributer to a new establishment. They both died upon contact. The only one I made amends with was my cousin Dudley."

"Why him? I'd figure he'd follow his lot's example."

"He did for a time. While I was abused, he was spoiled rotten and whiny. But it would not save him from getting into fights or having bad grades. It was not until we were 16 I saved his life, he began to turn over a new leaf. He disbanded his gang and turned to boxing to defend himself, improved his grades and attended counseling. It was also how he met his wife Anna. Apparently she had a relative that she didn't get along with until they died protecting her. Due to the Mafia, Dudley and I both agreed not to make contact again for each other's sake. But I still keep tabs on him. Last I heard, he and Anna moved over to America where they started a family with 4 kids. He opened a gym that became successful and opened many branches of it. They retired in Nebraska and their oldest son is in the military and has two kids, but he's retiring this year to take over the gym, the only daughter is married to a baker and currently expecting their first kid in 6 months, the second son went into show business and he's part of a traveling musical with his boyfriend, and the youngest son just graduated with a masters in rocket science."

Reborn was at least impressed by that kind of change.

As Zephyranth went off to perform again, Reborn headed back to his table to watch the rest of the show.

Though he would not admit it, he would wound up with 'suggestive' dreams of Zephyranth in next few nights.
