The mention of Kordecki makes the Wizened stop moving around to the driver's door. "Kord-decki's p-partner?" He turns on his heel and tries to search the man for any hint of deception. Did Kordecki ever mention sendin' a partner t' meet with me? All he told me was t' meet with Rifle-Breaker an' collect. Somethin'. Maybe these cellphones? At any rate Ah should be on my toes.

The jangling of the Wyrd against Thao's nerves continues. He brushes the fingers of his left hand against the pocket with the cellphone-sock-bag-thing. Then, he nods in response to the Partner. "Somethin went wrong b-back there. Very, very wrong. " He places both of his hands on the hood of the car engine, idly bending his fingers against the joint, one by one.
In Thao's eyes, they crackle and bend in ways human fingers should not. He wearily brings a hand to his forehead and then drags it down his face in a near universal gesture of 'fuck-its-late-and-I'm-tired'. "An' Christ, Ah j-just want this night t' b-be over." It was true. He meant every word of it.
As quickly as he can, Thao hardens his Mortal Mask while his hands slip down over his face, so that to anyone or anything that could distinguish the Mask and the Mein would be in for a jolt. He keeps his eyes firmly fixed on the Partner.
Thao expends 1 Glamour to Harden the Mask
Then, Thao searches for any twitch of emotion on the man's face, shock, confusion, or fear. Anything at all that would hint at him being able to register the switch between Thao's Mein and his Mask. Thao's fingers straighten into slender, yet human proportions before his eyes and feels the scalpel wounds and crooked stitches recede into smooth, pink flesh. What the Partner could see with those strange eyes of his is anyone's guess. He hopes it's just nerves and paranoia.
