[RL with Komui]

Tyki reflected as he stood inside St. Paul's glorious cathedral that he had certainly not expected that the next time he would return to his own world after over a month away, it would be to meet a member of the Black Order

Komui had probably gone insane to be doing this. Not that it bothered him--he was used to being insane. And he was insane. Insane, yes, but not completely stupid. He'd been researching some things since discovering the Internet--particularly holograms. He'd created one of himself that he had with him, and he was going to use it to test Tyki's intentions. A simple test, really, though a bit risky. The plan was for him to meet his "date" in person, making sure other people were around, and make some form of physical contact, so Tyki wouldn't doubt that he was truly there. He'd make sure that he would be visible to other people at all times when he was actually physically there. If Tyki began behaving suspiciously, or there was a chance of moving out of others' sight, he'd make an excuse to momentarily leave, then employ the hologram and wait to see what Tyki would try to do to it.

Yes, Komui had indeed agreed to this meeting entirely to test the hologram.

Tyki watched Komui enter the square outside the cathedral and stared all around. There didn't seem to be anyone around. He scanned rooftops and alleys, but from what he could see Komui actually was alone.

Unbelievable.

He dropped down from his perch to the polished floor of the cathedral and walked calmly out of the large gilded doors, lighting a cigarette. The square was filled with people.

A couple of them were akuma. But that was all right. They wouldn't attack when a Noah was there, unless he gave them a signal. He was actually relatively safe.

"Komui Lee," he purred. He wasn't wearing his top hat, but he bowed anyway. As he bowed, his hair fell forward and it was obvious that despite his dark skin and gold eyes, he no longer had the Crown of Thorns.

"You do me honour."

Smiling slightly, Komui responded, "What can I say? An excuse to get away from Headquarters for a while is nice, even if it is potentially deadly". He too bowed, making sure he stayed very, very alert.

Tyki smiled and took a drag from his cigarette, then blew a smoke ring away from Komui, using this as a cover for looking around once again.

"You have an unexpected thirst for danger," he said, returning his golden gaze to Komui and sticking his cigarette between his lips once again. "But I won't kill you, Komui. I'm curious to get to know you a little better."
