[Fortunately, Black Hat isn't hard to pick out in a crowd. Tall, gray-skinned, and inhumanly-faced - even without the elegantly folded wings and the slender tail swishing gently, the hat alone gives him away.
Black Hat arrives a few minutes after the scheduled time - late, but in a socially acceptable manner, and not because he hasn't quite mastered the layout of Bavan yet. And it certainly helps that the cafe population is mostly human - any monster would stick out like a sore thumb.
He's actually caught a bit off-guard by how young the girl is, despite her height. It gives him the briefest of pauses; not out of any guilt for bringing a child into this scheme, mind, but from wondering if she is up to snuff. But shortly he's sweeping over to the kelpie. Children have a unique capacity for cruelty, he's found.]
Reira, I presume?
[The accented, harsh rasp clashes with his gentlemanly appearance.]
