with a tremendously confused expression accompanied with the raise of an eyebrow, his eyes flickered over the knife whilst she carelessly played with it. ❝ maybe i am. ❞ he replied with a short yet highly strung chuckle. ❝ be careful, you're going to get hurt. ❞ he added alongside a guileful smirk resurfacing on his features. ❝ i haven't seen a little girl like you walking around with a knife at this time apart from now, so i dont think so. ❞ he responded as he poked mullock at her considerably young age, judging by her features & physicality. despite arthur being unable to recognise the young girl, he could tell that there was a sense of danger around her; the way she carelessly fiddled around with the knife in her hands, the way she disregarded the maroon droplets of blood as it slightly penetrated her skin. ❝ well, are you looking for somebody - somebody to, kill, perhaps? i dont think you're out here just for fun. if you're going the same way im going, would you like to tag around? ❞
            
            whilst he walked, he looked to his side and saw that the girl was following him. once more, his eyes flickered over to the blade in her hands. however, his gaze softened after he thought for a while - a short sigh escaping his lips as he slowed down to match her pace - only proceeding to walk when she was side-by-side with him. ❝ you have any reason why you're . . . . following me? i hope you're not trying to kill me, right? ive been a good lad. ❞ he stated jokingly.

with a shocked expression on her face toga rolls her eyes then smiled at the man. “ little girl ? sir you must be mistaken. ” she said playing with the tip of the knife caressing it lightly allowing it to pierce her soft delicate skin at times. she's never seen him around and it wasn't strange to see people like him. 
            
            he didn't seem to know her due to the fact he didn't react when he saw her. after all being an villain allows people to know your face in an instant. “ have we met ? ” she says giving a small smile as she grins. she liked this man even though she just met him ,, he gave her this idea that she would get into trouble hanging around him. 
            
            but then again everyone that she knew only caused chaos everywhere they went. toga was a strange girl who like to be with a strange crowd or in this case a strange person. she was interested ,, the man got her hooked but then again she remembered she had to be getting home or she would get scolded for staying out too late. with a flip of her hair she quietly said ,, “ fuck those guys they left me anyway. ” she said under her breath walking closer to the man. following him with a smile as he walked away.

the thoughts of alcohol and drugs dominated his mind, but it soon stopped when he heard the sound of an uncommon, yet new voice to him. with furrowed eyebrows, arthur slowly turned around to see who was talking. to his surprise, it was a girl - a girl with a knife. ❝ what are you doing up so late, little girl? shouldnt you be asleep? ❞ he asked, his voice painfully interlaced with incredible amounts of sarcasm. his green eyes were relaxed, yet they seemed to stare daggers into the girl, as they flickered from the knife in her hand to the girl in general. as a gambler, he had already been exposed to a whole variety of crimes, but never have they been committed by the likes of a small girl. with an exaggerated sigh, arthur took his eyes off the girl. to him, the girl was just a liability. even though girls like her, parading the streets with a knife in hand was uncommon, he didn't bother to watch her for any movements towards him. he wasnt too far from the casino, anyways. as long as he could reach it, he'd be fine.
