Rin hummed in acknowledgment of what Jack was saying, indicating that she was indeed listening, though opting to stay silent. Her gaze would flicker to their surroundings, not due to paranoia but simply out of habit. As a halfbreed, she needed to be on her toes when it concerned other supernatural and their whereabouts. But she couldn't help as her full focus snapped back to Jack at his somewhat personal question. 'How did a girl in a flower shop get involved with these kinds of people?' is a good question to ask and a difficult question to answer. She needed to answer with the truth disguised as a lie. Hunters were perceptive, well those that she had worked with prior, and no doubt this hunter would take her words with a pinch of salt.

"Clients often love to arrange for a bouquet of roses to be delivered to their mistresses... It's not pleasant when delivering them, especially if the mistress receives the bouquet only... partially... dressed..." a light, involuntary, blush dusted her cheeks at the embarrassing recollection. The client was a rich human, though the recipient of the bouquet was a succubus, barely dressed. Naturally, the succubus didn't mind but poor Rin was very flustered. That and the fact that some Romeo-and-Juliet-level romance between two gangs had taken place, Rin had found herself delivering flowers in the middle of an important sit-down. But Jack didn't need to know either of these things. As such, she happily agreed with him taking more than enough weapons.

"The Red Light district comes alive at night... though being in the area before it gets dark to check things out might be a good idea... And perhaps dress to blend in? We'll stick out like sore thumbs if we show up in casual/ work clothing..." Rin continued on, close to rambling in order to hide her flustered state. "We can meet up later... perhaps here, just before it gets dark... then head there after," she suggested, "I don't mind... I do deliveries there on a regular basis..." she assured him while shrugging her shoulders.
.
She waited until he returned from placing his order, giving him a chance to drink his coffee and listen to his follow-up questions. "I'm not quite sure what it might be, but a few species comes to mind. I'll be able to narrow it down after we've gotten more information... And maybe we shouldn't start questioning people right away... The people there are quite distrustful... of strangers and the truth." She advised the young hunter, hoping to not attract too much attention from the inhabitants of the Red Light District.

Rin handed him his photo, a grim expression in place from his question. "I help hunters for personal reasons... and knowing these reasons won't help you solve this case... the same can be said regarding why you became a hunter... I don't ask strangers personal questions and neither should you. After you've solved this case, we'll be going our separate ways..." Her tone was firm and she kept her sentences short. The question had hit very close to home and she wasn't ready to discuss her reasons for helping hunters, much less discuss them with a complete stranger.
.
She promptly stood from her seat and gathered her things. They had covered all that needed to be discussed so she felt that there was no need to prolong their interaction further. "I'll be heading off, your order has already been paid for so you can relax a bit if you like... we'll meet here at 7 tonight... then we'll have close to an hour to get to the Red Light District and enough time to scope out the surroundings..." she sent a small smile his way before heading off. She wasn't really looking forward to being around other supernatural but it was for the sake of helping the victims' families find closure.
