"Are you though?" Mara questions with her usual teasing and playful tone. This operation, Detective Lim is concerned about it, too. In a way, humor and nonchalence are just an excuse to cover it all. Her usual ballsy and cocky confidence are easier to wear than facing her own fears. If failing, this operation might cost her and Garam everything. This case, she has been working on it for months, pouring her entire self into it, to the point her personal life, her personal safety and everything she built is on the line. Him, by her side changes everything as well, it reassures her - never alone, she has never been alone when they're together. In the back of her head, she's scared of what might happen to him if even the smallest mistake is made. About his life she worries more than her own - these words, she can't say them to him. Not yet. They are getting prepared, him in black and white, an attire that is perfect suited for him and her, as her alter ego : the Mask Girl. A ceremonial Mask Girl that is, in the type of dresses she only wears for undercover situations. A gown, perfect for a masquerade, of silver and black, matching the mask she soon will put on. "I am serious, I am." Her tone, without her, realizing, it drops the facade, echoing with her actual preoccupation. Her heels lead her to stand in front of him. Her hands naturally settling on his collar to take care of his tie. Even though he can do it himself, this part she always likes taking care of, it helped her focus and relax. "You are right, being staff is convenient but staff is disposable : drop a glass, they might kill you. Be a guest, you have the shoulders and the charisma for it." He does. "As Mask Girl, I am a guest too however, for them to go to the extent of inviting me.. they want something from me. We won't and must never be in a the same rooms. What I'm looking for on my side is the girls, I won't be able to do anything for them today but I have memorized the list of all the missing ones, I must make sure they are there - alive." Her features harden as she is exposing more of what she expects from tonight. "On your side, focus on both : the venue and the guests. Very powerful people will be in there and we all know this very powerful people are in bed with my superiors. They can kill both me and my case in a snap. If I ever want to go back in there and raid the damn place with troops, I need to make sure none of them get in my way before I get there." The tie is tied and her hands, palms open rest against his torso, her eyes locked with his. "In that place. You might run into people from your past. Will that be okay?" She pursues with a silence, the lines of her face not easing, tense. "One last thing. If I never make it out of that club, you don't do back in there. Ever. Understood?"
