Uhm I’m a bit rusty w writing
Small local pub in a decent area, it’s a quiet slow night and there’s only a few people there chatting amongst themselves
Alrighty- it isn’t gonna be anything fancy though. ＾＾'
*Ryland quietly sat down, wrapping his tail around his seat so nobody would accidentally step on it. It was very odd seeing a naga in a populated area and it didn’t take a genius to know why* cranberry cocktail..please- *he went silent then unexpectedly spoke again* I..I heard it makes you taste better.
No worries
From the moment he’d walked in the tall woman had been studying him, she’d never seen one of those before. Setting down the glass she’d been cleaning, she nodded and turned to prepare his drink. “New in town I take it? Don’t often see folks like yourself lurking around.”
Ryland: *He averted his gaze at her question, letting out a quiet sigh* you could say that..Unlike me my kind are smart enough not to come near towns and cities. *the man had a slight lisp that made him sound more snake like than he already was*
She smiled and nodded, a faint hun sounding in the back of her throat as she gently slid him the glass and leaned against the bar top. Her shirt fitted well, hugging her rather nicely and with the short sleeves being a bit tighter, showed off her muscles well. “Got a name pretty boy?”
Ryland: *Ryland felt the urge to look away once again but didn’t, he’d rather not be seen as timid in front of anyone else beside his siblings. Out of awkwardness he stroked the side of the glass after catching it* Ryland..Ryland Hange- and you ma’am?
She nodded, not moving from her spot. She saw no real reason to end the conversation, nobody else was looking for any new drinks. Holding out a hand littered in both scars and shiny rings, she smiled. “I go by Raine these days.”
Ryland: *he studied her arms to just her hand right as he moved to shake it, he was almost envious of how much more muscle the woman had while he was a lot more thinner* it’s a pleasure to meet you Miss Raine- how long have you been living in this town?
She paused at the question to think about it and she shrugged. “I’d say around 5 years now- I jsut moved to the area though a few months back, came from the shittier side of things, and you?” She watched him carefully, she wanted to see more of that tail but didn’t want to come off as rude, not while on the clock at least.
Ryland: *he slightly nodded while taking a sip of his cocktail, making somewhat of a face at the tartness. As he expected, she had been there for a while and she talked as if so too. Ryland scratched the back of his neck when the question was asked back to him, he was just on a business trip there. not- that he could tell anyone, he’d risk being arrested and all that jazz* t-this is actually my second day here, it’s a lot less peaceful here than my home place but it ain’t terrible, so far...at least. Y-You must know more though- how is this place?
She grinned and stifled a laugh as she moved to prepare herself a drink. “Oh this place is hell on earth. At least if you plan on getting into other peoples business. Some of the locals are wild, but it keeps you on your toes you know-“ she chuckled, grabbing herself a beer.
Ryland: you saying that from experience? *He smiled slightly at her chuckle, a little less stiff about talking to her. She really didn’t seem too bad, it was a shame he wouldn’t be in this place for too many more days, he’d be more inclined to making friends otherwise*
He nodded, seemingly amused. "Can't get into too much detail, but if I were you I'd stick to myself. See anything weird, stay out of it you know?" He grinned and took a long sip from her drink before gesturing to the scars along her arms if he hadn't noticed them before. "gets real dangerous real quick if you're not comfortable."
Ryland: *he nodded with hesitance, getting a good look at those scars of hers. If that’s the case then he’d better get back to his boss soon before he gets himself into trouble...once he figured out exactly where he was. Guess he got lucky for running into her-* damn, I might have to ask you to walk me home at this rate. *he quickly downed the rest of his glass* how much do I pay for the drink?
She smiled and shrugged, setting her bottle down and sitting up. “It’s on the house. Let’s say it.. a ‘welcome to town’ gift mm? How long are you staying for do you think?”
Ryland: *he seemed a bit shy about getting something for free but he was taught it was rude to turn down a gift* I- mh..o-okay- thank you. ...I cant say how long we’ll be here but I’m just sorta following my buddy around, who I’ve actually lost on my way here.
She simply nodded and pursed her lips, it wouldn't surprise her if he was up to something shady. "this.. Buddy got a name-? I might be able to help? You seem likeable enough."
Ryland: *he was deciding whether or not to say his name but she couldn’t have known him. He was hesitant but ended up answering* Midas. I know his whereabouts but I don’t really know how to get there. I just need to know where the nearest donut place is.
She smiled and nodded, taking mental note of the name for later. "course.. Though I'm not sure many would be open around this hour. There's one just up the street, smells best in the morning when they're making them fresh."
Ryland: *his eyebrows raised as he listened, unwrapping his tail from around the seat and slowly getting up* ah alright. thank you, I should really get going now. I’ll try to come back tomorrow- would that be okay?
She nodded, her gaze falling back down to that tail of his again. "Of course. Ill be waiting." She hummed slightly, gently tapping her nails on the glass. "Feel free to stop by if you need anything else, I practically live here."
Ryland: I’ll be seeing you then. *the python nodded and waved as he took off to go actually do his job as a bodyguard. Once he was out of sight he mentally scolded himself for lying and getting friendly with someone he’d probably never see again after this*
She nodded and watched the fellow slither out. Despite her warning towards him about staying out of other peoples business, he seemed far too secretive to just let go without another thought. She typed in a number on her phone to call an old buddy of hers, hoping this 'Midas' would have some sort if reputation she could go off of.
