Yoru would show up to the sake den he had arranged to meet the scorpion girl in, he was fashionably late as usual. He was only wearing a half mask for once a more traditional scorpion style mask. And a fairly fine black suit with red under shirt and black tie. His hair was short and blonde and his eyes looked their usual flat blue almost grey color.
He scanned the room for the other ninja to see if she had arrived yet.

It was an odd place for the arranged meet. It felt too public for Nomen, which is why when she arrived early she sorted herself a booth to the side. Out of sight, out of mind.
She saw the older mans arrival, but didn't move to approach him, she just gave him a small nod from her corner booth, and waited for him to notice her.

Yoru spotted Nomen and gave a short nod over his shoulder and turned walking toward a bead curtain, he nodded to the large man standing next to it who nods back and disappears behind it.
Should Nomen follow she will see a short hallway leading to a rice paper sliding door. Inside she will find Yoru sitting on on a cushion with a low table and two sake cups hot sake on it, the bottle sitting in a bucket of warm water.

Nomen waited five minutes before she made her quiet way over to the curtain, entering with barely a nod and walking down the hallway. She knocked twice on the door before sliding it open.
"Anyone would think you're trying to spoil me" Nomen commented with a chuckle, entering with a bow.

Nomen is unable to see his mouth but his eyes sparkle with amusement. When he speaks Nomen can almost hear the grin on his lips.
"Its always a pleasure to meet someone else in our line of work. But I know it can be a....lonely existence at times. A bit of comradiere can be nice at times." He says as he motions for her to sit across from him.

"It is a lovely life, but I get by with a little help from those who don't know who I am" Nomen replied as she sat down, looking at the sake.
"I'll assume you're not here to kill me?" she held up the cup.

Yoru chuckled and reached behind his head, the mask covering the bottom of his face fell away revealing a mischievous grin, he swiped at his head and his blonde hair fell away to reveal short brown hair instead. he reaches for Nomen's sake and sips a bit of it, he then sips some from the bottle. "No, Nomen you know as well as I do that if i had wanted to kill you you wouldn't have seen me at all. My intentions are as simple as I say, I always enjoy spending some time with another who really understands our lifestyle. I stand to gain nothing by killing you here."

"You know the saying my friend; Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you" she smirked, taking a sip from her own drink. "although I'm glad it's just some fun. My estimation of your skills puts you more than a few years ahead of me in terms of training."

"Its smart to be paranoid in our line of work Nomen-chan. While I would go so far as to say I trust most of my cousins I don't suspect many of them want me dead and you know as well as I do that scorpion loyalty goes a long way."
He chuckles at Nomen's assessment "I believe we have similar levels of skill when it comes to combat, I have spent many years honing my acting and courtier abilities however. "I could be anyone with a more than fair degree of passing. The boisterous lion, the mild mannered crane, perhaps even a unicorn woman. All are faces I could wear at any moment."

"Ah, actors. So many wonderful lives. I just have to change my hairstyle every six months in case I need to blend into new surroundings. Or clothes, sometimes. The garbs they were in the desert are really strange" Nomen chuckled, shaking her head.
"Loyalty, unto death" she added, before saying "our numbers reduced by two, if you had not heard."
