She watched him with vivid interest when he came to, her lips curving ever more into a smirking grin as she sat there. The brunette began to twirl a finger through a few strands of her hair, amused with the fact that Hyoga admitted to being surprised with the letter he'd received. "It was a necessary measure, I assure you." she coyly remarked to the response, eyeing her ruby painted nails afterward while the Kathar got out of bed. She knew quite well that he would indeed be stiff for a while, especially since Helwui pulled that last one on the poor guy. Still it was a welcome observation to see he could take a beating like that, even better when he expressed the appreciation for the challenge.
The rogue raised her eyebrows at him then, her brown eyes fixed on him once more as she leaned into a hand, with her elbow pressed firmly into the arm of the chair. "Oh? I do so love to hear you say that," Her lilted voice peaked with a hint of delight there, "especially when I have more in store." Within her eyes did a hunger much akin to Hyoga's appear, as the brunette's white teeth were flashed after she expressed this. He wanted to know more of course, where exactly things would go between them, his curiosity evident from the way he remarked that it was her he'd sought out.
"Well now, that's up to you handsome." The rogue told him with a shift in her form, leaning away from the arm that supported her head, her posture shifted so that he could rise out of the chair at any moment she chose. "By now you're wondering what it is I have to offer, but perhaps I should begin with why I picked you out." Rather than lean forward to rise though Hannah leaned further back in, her fingers folded together with her legs tucked underneath one another once more. "See I've had my eye on you for a while now, ever since I saw you taking out those wretched maids within the manor. They were quite a curious discovery in my opinion," she then cast her gaze down for a moment, her tone lowering to that of casualty as she continued, "I was shocked to find that they weren't even human at all; just human-like constructs that bastard liked to order around."
There could be several explanations as to how that came to be, and not a single one of them were something Hannah approved of. Namely. The one that likely made the concept behind their existence all the more possible, the very magic that she loathed because of the hellish nightmare she'd met years ago. "But to see you in action... now that was a treat!" She then lightly cheered with a light tilt of her head, the smile temporarily fixed on her face before she resumed her discussion. "The sort of fighting I need in a man such as you. My friend, Rickter, he's quite good too as you've seen. But what I need is someone who isn't afraid to get their hands bloody, and you seem the type who fits the description rather well."
It was then Hannah lifted her hands together, her fingers tented as she covered the next part of her explanation. "Which led me to see your skills personally, and from what I witnessed you would certainly do well. Would you care to hear me out on a little something I've been waiting for?" As she sat there watching Hyo her smirk lingered for a time, her brown eyes still curiously fixed on the Kathar as she awaited his answer.

Hyo hated when people beat around the bush with things, as he was more of a fan of upfront situations. She was obviously building up to selling him something, and he was curious as to what it was. But remember that she said she had been wanting to see his skill, it meant only one thing.
She confirmed his suspicions, as she was curious of his skill. He looked to her as she detailed things, things that piqued his interest. She spoke of needed someone like him who could get his hands dirty. He knew what she meant by that, as he could still feel the lingering feeling of bloodlust on him.
A smile formed on his face as she did though compliment his skill, as she found his display of skill appeasing. He was however confused by the one she spoke of, mentioning that this Rickter was a rather good fighter as well. He sat back into the bed, relaxing into the comfort as she asked if he would hear her out.
With a nod, he turned his attention to her. He was hoping that what she was about to tell him would be worth all this trouble. Part of him was wondering why go through all this hassle to see his skill, instead of being upfront. But that meant she was being cautious, as this must have been a delicate situation where discretion was key. Either way, he would hear her out.
His eyes studied her as she spoke, looking over her form as she was certain she was there, at the fighting pit earlier. He was positive that she was there, and if she was it all makes sense now that they are here now.

Hannah couldn't help but chuckle at the sign of Hyoga's nod to her inquiry, the brunette leaning a bit more forward as she looked to him with excitement in her eyes. "I'm mounting a heist into the re-opening of the Pinnacle Games. Ever heard of them?" To Hyoga she raised a hand up curiously, her fingers then curled as she checked them momentarily.
After seeing that that he didn't seem familiar with them, her smile broadened into a grin as she leaned to rest her curled hand underneath her cheek. "Imagine a sport that was like what you experienced today, but a true and gritty bloodsport that involves a real shot at death!" Hannah lightly shrugged then with a playful tug at the corner of her lip, still giving a sense of small passion to the story as she explained to Hyoga what this was.
"It's a great way to earn some glory, or sate that appetite for violence you have." Hannah teased softly before straightening out once more, tenting her fingers over her lap as she tucked a knee beneath the other. "You could say I'm recruiting for a few members to help me out, with the right kind of team to watch my back when things turn hairy, I can get us out as easily as I can get you in." At that point she spoke with high confidence, her head tilted back to empower her word.
"Your's is a simple part at least, you'd only have to fight certain members. And when I give the signal you'll know it's time to hightail it out of there." She beheld a grin of confidence and yet in her eyes there loomed questionable certainty, as though she debated with herself over something regarding her plan. Or perhaps something else. She hadn't quite been upfront with Hyo after all, and if he wanted to risk his life for some bloodsport, then he'd at least need some incentive in knowing what's in it for him.
"In return for your help I'm willing to help you, I've done some digging on you, and I know there are those still out there just waiting for you to find them." Now it seemed more than just a tease, as though Hannah were hinting at something. "Wouldn't it be ironic if a few people in the Midden might know where to find them?" She inquired with a raised eyebrow then, the intrigue in her eyes vivid as she awaited to hear Hyoga's answer.

"The Pinnacle Games?" he asked inquiringly as he had never heard of such a thing, but more so the fact that she was planning to steal something. He would have objected but the next thing to come from her piqued his interest.
"Bloodsport you say?" he whispered, an intrigued tone in his words. A place like that would be a great way to let out some of the aggression he had built up from past events. His eyes never lingered from her as she continued.
It was clear now what she wanted from him, and that was to be her muscle, but more so a distraction. He would fight for her as she worked, taking whatever it was she was after, and then he was just supposed to up and leave. Part of him couldn't condone that, running from a fight. It wasn't in him to do so, went against who he was as a warrior.
However, what she spoke next seemed to coax him. His eyes twisted in reaction to her mentioning she knew he was looking for the ones responsible for his parents' deaths. Immediately he was on his feet and on her with that piece of information. "You should have led with that Hannah. If that's the case I don't care what you need me for, if it means a chance at finding the ones responsible." he barked.
If there were people in these Pinnacle Games that could give him answers, or point him in the right direction of the ones he sought, he would fight thousands of fighters if need be. He was clenching his fist with both anticipation and excitement. There was only one thing he could say at this point, a look of bloodlust and delight on his face. "When do we begin?"

Hannah's couldn't help but chuckle a couple of times as Hyoga listened to her, his investment with the idea clearly growing the longer he gave her words more thought. Before too long she untucked her legs and shifted to rise on her feet, the entertained expression now riddled with a smirk as she passed the bedframe to approach the window. As she stared out she gave it a moment of thought, having heard Hyoga inquire as to when they would begin this heist. "I'd say soon, but that would be a lie." She confessed almost with an aloof tone in her voice. "Frankly the games are set to begin until the new year, last I heard from a guy down below, they're still cleaning up the house while we speak. So my window of opportunity won't be until then, however," Hannah then gave a gentle turn to look heavily at Hyoga, "that only gives you time to straighten any affairs, and prepare for what could be a real fight to the death."
Hannah's narrowed eyes softened as her gaze gradually shifted back to the outer street below, the people of Kalzasi still wandered about as the night drew to a near later part of the eve. "I'm waiting to see what my hand is like before I play my cards, don't worry though, you are certainly one among them. My trump card, on the other hand, is one I need to see more fire within." Hannah remarked with a fingernail pointed at her chin in thought, her eyebrow slightly elevated in the reflection found created by the glow of a candle. "With you there I'm sure he'll have motivation enough to fight as though his life depended on it."
With that thought expressed Hannah wrapped her other arm underneath her elbow, while her hand lingered close to her lips as she near bit at the tips. "Once I have everything ready, you'll be the first I'll send for when the time arrives. Until then, Hyoga, try to keep this between you and me? The fewer people know, the better chances that our heist is a success." She elaborated with a fold of her arms as she finally turned to the Kathar. "I'll be counting on you when the time arrives!" As she expressed this she gave him one more playful smirk, before aether swirled around her and engulfed her figure. By the time Hyoga blinked she would've been completely gone, the immediate fluctuation of aether having already dissipated upon her exit.
Out on the street she still grinned toward the window of the room he was left in, her back then turned as she started walking her way down the street.
