For a significant period of time now, Ilithyia has been slowly moving within the ranks of the men she has decided to take under her employ. They have not always understood her, though since their initial meeting there has always been a sense of respect, one she has cultivated carefully over time, and she finds she's quite satisfied with the way things are going when several of her men end up dead.
For a time, she is furious. It doesn't fade, simply turns into something else, something she will find a use for in time. There are still men who trust her, those who will keep her safe, but many of those she had come to rely on to fund her lifestyle are gone.
She is not well pleased to once more be working for the respect and power she knows she deserves.
It is on the street with Albinius that she finds herself coming upon Kaine at the same moment a man from a rival gang she knows little of approaches her. She appraises him, sensing danger, though she suspects there is little to be done on the street in the middle of the day.
"Kaine," she calls, greeting her friend. "Would you care to join me?" Perhaps the man approaching will take the presence of another as suggestion not to come closer or make any trouble.

"And you have my gratitude," she adds as they walk away, leaving the man in the alley. "Truly."
