Ukitake walked in, pulling up his ninja mask. He always made a point to have it on during missions as to not have anyone notice him. To any ninja, he looked like he was ready for battle, but Ukitake wasn't so sure that the beings here would recognize what ninjas were.
Upon entering the warp gate, he observed the creatures around him. Two elves and a fae. These elves had a lighter skin tone than Imiar, but still noticeably intimidating.
He let out a silent chuckle at her jabs at the mayor's guards, as he discreetly standing in a corner of the room observing the interaction that take place. When Ukitake accepted missions, he would be on knee, bowing to the village leader before he was excused. Manners, as they seem, were lacking from employee to employer.
Ukitake remained quiet, but wary. If anything were to happen to her, he'd lose her home. The shinobi stood there, folding his arms. It was almost just like the days back home.

Imiar was relieved that no one seemed to notice Ukitake, but only briefly, for the mayor's guards seemed to be advancing ever so slightly. Every few seconds they would advance a small step forward. She smirked.
"So this is your test of me, is it Mayor? I have noticed your guards advancing, and, if you wish for them to keep their lives, I suggest you halt their advance." She asserted.
The mayor's smile widened, "Ah, very impressive, my darling." He smile twisted into more of a sneer before he added, "But that is not my only test for you." After saying this, he snapped his fingers.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment, and then the wood elves were gone.
Imiar unleashed her magic in a wall of darkness surrounding her just as the two elves came at her from both sides. They screamed as the darkness began eating into their flesh, and the mayor visibly cringed.
"This will not stop until you stop your games, dearest mayor," Imiar spoke darkly. The mayor grew more and more uncomfortable as the screams of the wood elves continued, "Clearly you think I am bluffing. I assure, I have no qualms with their being less of this pompous race around," Imiar threatened.
The mayor hesitated only a moment longer before finally standing and shouting, "Enough! I will stop! I see that this deal will not be made on my terms, please spare them."
Imiar's magic immediately dissipated into harmless smoke, "A wise decision, Mayor."
The wood elves still lay unconscious on the ground, though they were not injured at all. What she'd done to them was completely mental and had no last physical effects. The mayor seemed to realize this, and looked on in shock.
The air was heavy as Azhug cleared his throat and said, "Now then, shall we get to the negotiations?"

((I'll hurry this along so you can have more to say, haha))
"Yes, let's." Imiar spoke almost cheerily, but her face betrayed her. She was in control of these negotiations, just the way she wanted it.
The mayor cleared his throat awkwardly and began his proposition: "Well, then. I have come to the right place it would seem. I need someone very powerful and very troublesome exterminated. His bounty amounts to around 5,000 gold. However, I shall triple it should you succeed." Imiar's mouth nearly dropped at the amount, but she caught herself as the mayor continued to speak:
"And, if you bring me back his list of spies that have infiltrated my government, I will quadruple the amount-- a total of 20,000 gold."
Imiar was suspicious of the large amount, so she asked the most logical question, "Who is this target?"
The mayor hesitated before saying, "The terror of the forest just beyond the border. The demon named Daikoku. He has been trying to usurp my power for months now, and he has spies within my government. I need him eliminated, immediately."
Imiar didn't show it, but this target was a shock to her, and the first job she was nervous about accepting. However, it's not like she has a choice. She has to impress the mayor to preserve the future of the bounty hunters, plus the payoff isn't too bad either.
Imiar nodded, a hand resting on her sheathed sword, "I accept."
The mayor looked slightly startled, he clearly hadn't expected her to take such a dangerous job. "Well then, I will take my leave," he said as he stood. The fae guard sticking close to him. The mayor glanced at his two wood elf guards and snorted.
Imiar followed his gaze and snorted. She snapped her fingers and the two guards both sat up, screaming. She rolled her eyes at the spectacle.
The mayor scoffed and quickly left, followed closely by the fae and the wood elves, who were sure to keep their distance from her.
After a short pause, Imiar relaxed her stance, "You can come out now, Ukitake."
Azhug glared at her, "That could have been handled better. Just do the job, and do it well." He paused for a moment and then pointed his axe at Ukitake, "And why did you bring him back? You're lucky the mayor didn't notice him."

((Yes, please do! I felt like I was taking to much control of it sweatdrop ))
Imiar let go of his wrist as he motioned, and considered his question, "I do not think we will die today. I was only shocked at the large bounty. Also, that a demon would draw things out long enough for his opponent to hire a bounty hunter..." She was very suspicious of this Daikoku; he seemed to be toying with the mayor... Possibly even manipulating him for some other purpose.
Before she could voice this concern to Ukitake, an ogre approached them from the forest. One of Daikoku's first lines of defense, no doubt. As a plan quickly formulated in her mind, Imiar spoke in a clear voice, "I request an audience with Daikoku." She glanced at Ukitake, wanting to communicate her intentions to him... Ogres were not known for their good eyesight, so she released a small wisp of her magic that contained her plan. It traveled the short distance to Ukitake and circled around his face, broadcasting this message:
Ukitake, I have a plan. We will try to get the ogre to lead us to Daikoku by requesting an audience. Once we are inside his stronghold, you will discreetly break off from me and go find the list. I will take care of Daikoku. Once you have the list, get out. I will follow.
