Shimmering blue blanketed the underground city as the light reflected off the sapphires in the ceiling. It cast its eerie glow, almost mimicking the effect of light on water without the sort of freeing peace one might feel with the soft ocean waves. Figuring out how deep down the city was located was near impossible when the air was obviously heated to something approaching comfortable, and nothing seemed to echo too far past the quiet hum of the city.

Workers made their way down the street, every one with a Sleeper in tow. Something that would have been unheard of only a few days ago, now more likely than one would think. They intended to start slow, but considering how many others were still in cryo, this was a laidback pace.

The other man's response elicited a short ripple of laughter from Izaya, and he nodded. He could think of more entertaining reactions himself, but that wasn't the kind of thing you share with a perfect stranger. Or anyone who couldn't be trusted, which constituted most people.

"I'm sure it'd make your day more interesting, if nothing else."

"Oh yeah," agreed Ryan. He seemed possibly too pleased with this topic of conversation. "It would give me an excuse to chase 'em down."

A response that caused him to turn more fully in the other man's direction once again, smile stretching just a little wider. "I'm sorry I disappointed you then, in that case."

"We've still got a month." Hand sliding down to rest on the hilt of the katana in something approaching disappointment and anticipation, he continued, "You never know what might come up in all that time."

"It seems likely that at least one person will try slipping out before the month is over" his eyes followed the direction of the other man's hand as it slid to the hilt of his sword, and he shrugged, "I'd say I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, but I'm not sure that'd be appropriate."

It might be fun to watch, however.

"It might not be appropriate, but it'd be fun as hell."

Yeah, Ryan was pretty sure he could grow to like this guy. Not many people tended to agree with his violent outlook on things and this was as close as agreement as Ryan was going to get.

He wasn't an inherently violent man, not in the conventional sense, and it was rare for him to commit an act of physical aggression against another person, but that didn't mean he was unable to take enjoyment from observing as humans fought among themselves, or better yet, when they fought thanks to his subtle manipulations in the background. He loved humans and therefore wanted to learn everything there was to know about them, and their base and ugly emotions often interested him most of all.

Still, the smile he gave in response to the other man's words could only be described as pleasant.
