Konan was a flock of butterflies above the city--spread out, but still drawing attention; there did not seem to be animals in this city as far as Konan could see. After talking with Luffy, she had decided it would be best to get a good look at the city for herself. Butterflies were the best way to do it--small and capable of spreading into thousands for a thorough investigation of the city.

It was only one butterfly that came upon the City Hall, but the information was transferred to all immediately: the shock of orange hair, the cloak, the face; Pein was there.

The butterflies all moved at once, toward City Hall, and momentarily they had all returned to their source. Pieces of paper all molded together to form a woman. She stepped beside her partner and regarded him happily--although to any outside observers it would only seem to be faint amusement, at the most.

"Pein," she said, again with only the barest hints of pleasure to anyone who did not know her very well. To those who did, it would be clear she was very pleased indeed.

To see the butterflies swarm the stone steps, well, it was a surprising and relieving sight. Knowing that Konan was here made his life so much easier. And she could back him up in the visit to the Mayor. Oh, this would certainly prove to be a more beneficial visit to this strange city than originally anticipated.

Pein paused his ascent and regarded Konan with a small smile, faint and almost imperceivable. He nodded to her. "Good to see that you're here, Konan."

He looked toward the doors and then back to the kunoichi. "Care to join me on a visit to the Mayor of this fair city?"

Konan nodded once, slightly. "I shall."

Of course she would--she was his angel, and she would follow her god into hell if he asked it of her. Visiting a Mayor should not be any difficulty. Getting information, perhaps, would be more difficult, but nothing that could not be dealt with.

"Have you heard of an organization at work within the city?" she asked. "I spoke to a strange young man who mistook me for a member. I gave him a lion."

And while that would have meant nothing to most, she was communicating something very important to her partner: she had found Luffy worth watching, and left an origami spy with him. Whenever she wanted, she could look through the lion's eyes and, if Luffy kept it with him, see what the pirate was up to.

Pein nodded, glad to have Konan with him again. Already, they were working on the same frequency once more, and they hadn't been back together for more than five minutes.

"I have heard of an organization," he commented, continuing up the stairs and into City Hall. He didn't have to look to know that Konan would be beside him. "I'm actually intending on getting more information as I can."

Pein smirked. "A lion? Was this stranger that important?" He trusted her judgment, to the point of no longer questioning Konan's actions. She knew what she was doing, and balanced him, his thoughts. She acted as an extension of his own will, and for all the time they spent together, he trusted her absolutely.

Konan did indeed walk beside Pein up the steps, her footsteps silent in the careless manner of a well-trained ninja. Just as she did not have to think about walking with care, she did not have to think about following Pein. It was natural.

"He did not seem clever, but he was very strong," Konan said. "And he was looking for this other organization. If he comes into contact with them, perhaps the lion will catch it."

She wondered how much the mayor knew about what was going on, if he knew anything; organizations operated counter to the official government all the time. But that did not mean the mayor wasn't worth investigating; Pein always knew what was best. "You are meeting with the mayor to find out about them, then?"

Pein nodded as he walked, listening to Konan as she spoke. He kept an eye out for the signs that marked their path, and the hints to where they should go. With luck, they would have no trouble in finding their meeting. But a little bit of threat could go a long way to ensure such things, if it came down to it.

"Whether or not he seems clever, he could be hiding it," Pein commented, remaining aware of the halls they walked down, and where their destination was. It was entirely possible that there were others here who played at being what they were, in fact, not. It wasn't such a rare thing, after all, and shinobi played the game all the time. Especially when it came to the Akatsuki. "And any information is better than nothing, regardless of the source.

"Yes, that is the intention. We'll see what happens, though, I suppose."

Konan was aware of her surroundings; of any people they happened to pass, of hallways, doors, and windows, of anything that could be useful knowledge if a quick escape or a fight was deemed necessary. There was nothing here that could defeat Pein, of that she was certain, but even so, fighting was not always the best option. Some kinds of attention were not warranted.

"Perhaps the mayor could be persuaded to further our cause, as well," Konan suggested casually. If he knew something, he could be used. "Should I leave something in the office?"

Another origami spy, of course. Maybe something small like an ant.

Pein nodded and smirked. That was just like his angel, picking up on thoughts and intentions. "My thoughts exactly. And please do. Any information we can gather beyond what we're given will surely be helpful."

The Akatsuki leader paused in front of a door, another smirk gracing his face. They had arrived, obviously, and he opened the door to step inside. He wasn't expecting to face the Mayor immediately. Oh no, he knew they had secretaries in outside rooms, waiting to dissuade people from visiting.

"We've come to speak with the Mayor."

The secretary behind the front desk looked up at the pair, quizzically at first. Red hair, blue hair? And all those dreadful piercings? They certainly couldn't be from around here... the very sight of them was rather unnerving. She quickly shook the feeling off, though, and gave the two visitors a pleasant, professional smile. "Do you have an appointment, sir?"
