ruba knows she is not trusted. she is an outsider, though she's aced all her lessons, though she's become a productive member of parisian society. she is not trusted, she does not care for the beauty of the city, or beauty of any sort. she doesn't take to the social sphere with half as much passion as she does her magic.
and perhaps this single-mindedness is what makes her one of the best weaponsmiths in paris.
it is also seen as a flagrant disrespect. she is at the offices for administrative something-or-other, but she is in no rush. (though perhaps she is always in some sort of a rush) in any case, not too much of a rush that she won't stop and listen to a madman shout. sin, sin, you will all choke on it. his voice is shrill, his hands flutter madly as if to fan the words outward. ruba pauses mid-stride.

Kristoffer is not too far, rolling his eyes at this crazy madman. As he walks towards him, he flicks his wrists. "Enough," he states as a warning. "Leave before I call security."
Or silence you myself...
His eyes, through his peripheral, catch the sight of the woman, narrow as he turns his head towards her. "Don't stare. It makes it worse."

she turns, squaring her shoulders at looking the other magician over. he is pretty and she gets the feeling there isn't much more to him. before she can stop herself, ruba laughs. it's a harsh sound.
"worse?" she drags her gaze over the man - his clothes are torn, his voice a cracking squawk. oozing desperation. it's almost admirable - but when he notices her attention and reaches out, she steps back. "hell is here!"

He scowls at her, mouth open and his eyebrows furrowed. "What are you, a parrot?"
Pink eyes turn their gaze towards the ragged man, "Go on!" and stiffens his tone. "I said move out of here! NOW!"
Now, his attention turns towards the woman again, "And you..." He walks over. "The hell do you want anyway?"

ruba crosses her arms, casts the poor man a sympathetic glance. there's some hilarity in the other magician's hypocrisy, the way they won't have a thing to do with the common they claim to protect.
"but he has something important to say." she says this with flat earnesty.
you won't hear of it, he chimes in. you will walk, blindly, right into the pits of hell.
she smiles. "i'm going to have to see a badge before i answer any of your questions, officer."

He rolls his eyes, holding out a hand towards the man and snaps his fingers, eyes cutting over to him. "I've heard enough of you," he murmurs and silences the man for the moment.
His attention is pulled to the demon once more, still not at all pleased with her presence. "He's always 'got something important to say,'" kris replies, arms crossed over his chest. "i'm the treasurer," he states. "I don't have a badge, but surely you're here for something specific?"

ruba eyes the muting threads he's woven - the magic so strong and showy it almost gleams in the daylight. she could unweave them, easily, but she doesn't.
ruba shrugs. unimpressed. perhaps he may be in a position of more power, but she's broken no rules, nor is he really here to enforce them. "i'm sure i can find my own way." she's been here before, many times. she still doesn't entirely fit in.

Finally, some quiet. The man likes to come and spout his nonsense; kris sees him all the time. almost every day.
"Where?" He asks, tilting his head. White strands flow over his shoulder, glistening almost like the threads he conjured. "I know this place like the back of my hand. I can take you there."
Really, he just wants to keep his eyes on her.

ruba is still more interested in his magic than she is him. the threads - they're like spiderwebs, she thinks. easy to break, unpleasant to touch. she may not be disdainful of the common but neither is she a friend of theirs.
she smiles. "aren't we a gentleman?" those who don't know who she is do not trust her. neither do those who know who she is. but it would be safe to assume he's one of the former. "i'm here for a reason, yes. not an interrogation."

A gentleman? Why of course. He smiles, but it doesn't charm him enough to let his guard down. He knows what she is. That's enough.
"Pretend I'm not interrogating," he replies with the smile still on his face. "What is your reason?"

her smile drops - it wasn't genuine by any pretense. ruba isn't much for pretending, nor humouring boys who think themselves bigger than they are, who imagine themselves entitled.
she steps past him.
"business."

He grabs her by the wrist, tugging her back.
"Excuse me?"
He's offended, blown off. The albino doesn't stand for this. "I'm allowed to know."
This woman doesn't scare him, not with her curtness, her sharp eyes, sharp features. They mean nothing to him, even if they should.

she turns, eyes blazing as she yanks her wrist free. he reminds her of a petulant child, tugging his mother's skirts, throwing a tantrum.
"it isn't business with you." she reiterates. it isn't anything confidential, but out of spite she won't elaborate. "it's a bit more important, and i'd hate to be late."
if he stays nosy, if he treats her like some kind of security threat, she will make herself one.

"I can make sure you get there on time," he states, eyes narrowing as his gaze locks onto hers. Those strange eyes.
Just her appearance looks a threat and he feels obligated to make sure she isn't one or fails to become one. He's a government official. "Where."

her brow furrows, her expression incredulous. ruba has spent years proving herself valuable to the city and dutiful to the protectorate. she has earned her autonomy, she won't be lead like cattle, like a prisoner.
her lips part like she's thinking of what to say; she's thinking of what spell to cast because he's stubborn and well beyond reason. she could cast a small glamour, a fog on his mind, and slip away. but that is not her strong suit. the spell she casts instead (almost without thinking), bursts a flagstone by his feet - a loud crack, stone and debris, dust flying.
