Sia rolls from her bed and groggily stumbles to her dresser, pulling open a draw she pauses.

Her eyes looking straight ahead she sighs rummaging through the draw, she grabs something and swiftly turns around.

Holding a jagged hunting knife up to what seems like thin air, the air seems to ripple for a moment before revealing a man holding his hands up in surrender as she points the knife at his throat with uninterested eyes.

Sia tilts her head to the side upon seeing the man.

Who?

Looking him up and down she racks her brain trying to pin point who on earth he is, a smirk plays on his face.

"I'm not of your concern yet girly, actually my brother is. But with your reactions I can tell my brother won't stand a chance either, just do me a favor and knock him out easily instead of murdering him like what is popular on this level."

Sia quirks an eyebrow

I still wanna know why you decided to infiltrate my room...

The man notes that she isn't satisfied with his answer yet, and glancing around for a moment he sees why.

" Oh. Right, I usually get rid of the opposition for my brother that aren't suitable, though this time you caught me so I can't do that."

A laugh leaves the males throat as he sees the girl lower the knife, still watching him she's slightly less threatening now.

" Sia right? My name is Zander , my brother is Zax. Nice to meet you little one."

Sia tilts her head in curiosity as Zander admires the scar across her neck, not something you can really miss unless the other party hides it.

Sia let's out a huff of air as she sees him as not a threat rather than someone looking to fool about by now, waving him off she rummaged through her draws taking out clothing as he watches with interest, she picks up the pile staring at him blankly as he remains stood there unmoved.

Sia shrugs not caring at this time in the morning, or in general for that matter and begins unbuttoning her night gown, she looks to the door then at Zander who stares at her questioningly, shrugging at him in response, she has embraced her fate by this point as the door to her room falls from its hinges onto the floor.

Zander jumps at the sudden destruction as a clown is stood in the entrance with a card in hand

"Sia I feel another presence are you-"

Hisoka looks at the male in the room with his doll and then at the doll herself slowly stripping infront of the stranger, anger and slight jealousy radiate off the clown next as he makes his way to the unknown male, Sia let's her night gown drop to the floor.

Zander looks at the clown confused for a moment when he recognises the makeup, he blinks wide eyed

"Never thought I'd meet a floor master here. You know him Sia?"

Hisoka blinks when the unknown male says her name.

"Why do you know my dolls name?"

The to males look to the girl whom is now buttoning up her dress, her gaze shifts to the two males, looking at them like they're idiots, all she does is sigh and sit on the edge of her bed.

Zander groans

"You made me miss a good strip show too, you suck Hisoka"

Hisoka narrows his eyes at the male he's holding by the collar, letting go Zander drops to the floor as he stands up straight looking at Sia as she pulls stocking up her legs

"So who's this leechy buffoon?!"

She looks at Hisoka entertained by his comment.

'You can't talk you clown, you're much worse in my opinion, though at least you didn't sneak up on me with the intent to kill me I suppose~ He's call Zander apparently.'

Hisoka glares at the male getting up off the floor and dusting off his cloak

"Zander huh?"

Zander looks at Hisoka bewildered for a moment

"How do you know my name?"

Hisoka points at Sia

"she can't talk though now stop lying to me."

Sia slips on her shoes and walks to the mirror to put the bow in her hair

'As much as the clown looks Creepy and stupid, he isn't lying'

Zander shivers at the sudden voice in his head as Hisoka grins

"See you little- Wait who are you calling creepy?"

'Out of the two insults I gave you just then you question the creepy one?'

Zander blinks in awe at the soft voice that he's hearing

"This is your voice Sia?"

Sia smiles and nods at Zander

'This was mine until it got taken from me'

Sia touches her throat her eyes seeming distant for a moment, she meets Zander gaze again

'Though I'd appreciate if you could keep the fact I can talk to people quiet, though with a clown exposing me at the same time is equally inconvenient'

She glares at Hisoka as he shrugs innocently

"In my defence the boy is innocent enough, I highly doubt he'd go around screaming you can talk, and even if he did I highly doubt anyone would believe him."

Zander narrows his eyes at the clowns stupid reasoning, even if he doesn't pose the same kind of threat that others who aren't him would, he looks at the girl.

"Even if I'm not a threat doesn't mean other wouldn't be too Mister floor master, you should know better. Though I suppose you usually wouldn't give them the time to tell anyone anyways."

Zander watching as a smile graces Sias lips for a breif moment comfirming what he said.

Sia walks over to him, reaching up and ruffleing his black hair with a kind smile on her face.

'You'll be fine unless you do something out of line. Then you'll have to pray I don't find you.'

Hisoka looks at them, pouting over the fact Sia isn't letting him hear what she's saying.

Zander smiles in return taking her hand into his.

"Is that your general motto?"

Sias smile drops off her face as she looks into his eyes with those of a cold killer for a breif moment, a happy go lucky smile adorns her face again as she twirls out of his grasp

'If he tells me to kill you then I don't care about your role to me.'

Zander feels chills creep up his back at the tone in her voice, there is no mercy... No safety net behind her words, all you can do is hope whoever "he" is doesn't toss you under the bus.

Zander looks at Hisoka curios to if its him, but judging by her interactions with the magician wanna be, it's not even close.
