Yet again, Aki was bored. Sitting in the Dusty Refuge, the usual gambles and arguments were going on, nothing important happening. Aki was finding this mind numbing, she was about to just leave if nothing fun happened. She was observing the inside of the building from a spot near the wall, leaning back in her chair. People entered and left, joining conversations as old ones died out, the groups in them scattering to do other things. As people would enter, Aki would look them over briefly, frowning as none of them seemed all that interesting just yet. She took a sip of her drink, draining it with the final sips.
A fight seemed to be brewing at a regulars table, where people were accusing each other of cheating. Fingers were being pointed, blame being shoved onto each other. Only would take a little more for for a full on fight to break out. Fun times, but until the fight actually broke out or they all calmed down she would go back to watching the door.

As Aki was watching the door, in strutted in a gorgeous Half Sylvan/Half Human. She wore a pair of boots, shorts and a midriff, spaghetti strapped top and also wore a overly long coat tied around her waist, to which the knot of the sleeves tied around her waist drew attention to her washboard abs right above that. She had Long black hair with blue curly tips at the end and had piercing blue eyes that scanned her surroundings and smirked at hearing the rowdy accusations between card players accusing each other of cheating.
She held a long cigarette holder with a hand rolled cigarette that was already lit at the end of it as she walked over towards the bar, her unique fluffy tail swaying slowly behind her as she took a drag from her cigarette holder in the process as she pulled it from her lips and exhaled the smoke as her free hand ran through her hair. As she made it to the bar, she took a seat at the bar stool, crossing one leg over top of the other as she then nodded to the bartender. "One Bear Wine please." She mentioned as today she was in more of a wine mood, which usually she was more about the mead, but she was in the mood for this drink, which contained honey and wildberries. As she waited for her order, she looked over to see the Felinekin who wore a bored expression on her face. "Hey there, I don't suppose buying you another drink would help cheer you up?" She asked, trying to make conversation with this interesting looking individual as she waited for her own drink.

C'Leena was very pleased with where she was. Heat was her entire shtick, although Nephele looked like she was in hell. That's to be expected, she supposed. Right now, Nephele was in their room just trying to sleep away the heat (It's not working at all, but to each their own). The sun is setting which means it'll cool down tons in the next hour and a half or so. To say she wasn't at least a little concerned for her fiancé would be a lie.
Stepping out the doorway to the rooms is a 6' woman with bronze skin and - most jarring of all: Gem-like aquamarine eyes. All of her eye was colored like this - no pupil nor iris. She has short chestnut brown hair with an undercut and .. odd clothes. Of course, they're not odd to her one bit. She's wearing her white tank-top and jeans with her work boots that have done good by her for this long.
She walks over to the bar and takes a seat and is about to request something before the barkeep stops her, ducks under the bar and brings up a somewhat-small bottle of what seems to be pretty hard liquor. "Here. Whether or not you finish it is up to you - it's yours, You damn heavyweight. 45 Solars for this if you're willin'." The man says. He has a knowing grin on his face as C'Leena stares for all of three seconds before laughing and digging in her pouch for the money.
With C'Leena this close, it becomes far more obvious that she's got quite a few burn scars. First with the scarring directly around her eyes, as well as the nasty burns on her shoulders that - strangely enough, just stop along her arm, creating a distinct line between healthy flesh and scar tissue. The burns on her shoulders seem to wrap around to her back, which looks to be severely burnt as well but most of the scarring is hidden underneath the tank top. All of the scars look severe, but old and unlikely to heal further than they have.
Other than the burns, most notably is that she has an obsidian pendant around her neck that looks homemade with string and just an obsidian chunk with the letter 'N' amateurly engraved in it's face. Secondly is that she seems to have a ring on her left ring finger. It looks to be a silver band with three smaller obsidian rocks embedded - one large one with two smaller ones on either side. It looks like an engagement ring, honestly.
"Fucken' hell, Call that a reputation. Thank you, mate." She says after a moment of admiring the bottle. After little hesitation, she pops it open, pours herself a shot and immediately downs it. She blows out a quick breath before lightly chuckling. "Christ, man. You're trying to sing to my heart, aint'cha? You do know I'm engaged, right?" She says as she chuckles with the barkeep, who waves her off and goes to tend to other patrons.
She looks over to her left and notices the two people sitting there too. Primarily, it's the felinekin that catches her attention. Is that a cat? She thinks to herself before shrugging. "G'day g'day. How're we doin?"

Aki gave a grin to Yuki, and sat down in a stool next to her. "Well, if your offering!" She said with a chuckle, putting her elbows on the counter and placing her head in her hands. Then she heard the sound of another person, greeting them with a g'day and an ask about how their doing. She leaned forward, looking around Yuki to see the woman. "Oh, hey. You look horrible. Just bored, nothings really going on today. You enjoying our lovely city?" Aki laughed, giving a broad smile to C'Leena. "And how about you, whoever you are with the tail? You enjoy Zeinav?" Aki blabbed on, a nonchalant look on her face.
An annoyed shout came from the table that was fighting, louder than the others. "You WHAT?!" A human man screamed, slamming his fists on the table. "You scammed us?!" A couple of the people at the table turned to a sun elf. They spoke in that annoying Sol City voice, voice high and confident. "I did no such thing, I merely changed my mind about my desire to play." They said, and the human man walked over to them. "You will regret playing a trick like that!" He yelled, stomping away to another table.
Aki had to drag her attention away from that table, and turned back to the other two. "Oh right, introductions. Names Aki, from this lovely place. Where you both from?" Arguing kept coming from the table behind them, none of them pleased with the sun elf quitting because they were losing money. One more thing and a fight would break out, and Aki was not against being that last thing.

Yuki grinned and motioned for the barkeep. "Another drink for this bored stranger over here." She then turned to C'leena and immediately couldn't help but stare at her, not in a manner that was horrified at her scars, but she was almost entranced by the all Aquamarine eyes of the person that greeted them. She was also glad to see another person that sported the tank-top look. She then heard Aki speak up and looked over to see Aki leaning forward, so she leaned back so Aki wouldn't have to lean as far to get a few of the new person that sat down.
Her eyes widened a slight bit as Aki blurted out that the new person looked horrible. Then it became introduction time as Aki introduced herself and wondered where her and C'Leena came from. "I'm Yuki, I came from Dragon's Cradle, Stormgale specifically." She mentioned as she then turned her head over to C'Leena and offered her hand to her. "And I'm doing well, thank you for asking, how are you doing? Congrats on your engagement and sorry for staring a moment ago, your eyes are gorgeous." She then turned her attention to the commotion and seen that now more people were getting involved and getting louder. "I feel like things are about to erupt any moment now." She mentioned taking another drag from her cigarette holder before pulling it from her lips and exhaling the smoke in the air as she then turned her head to Aki with a smile. "I think you are about to be cured from your boredom."

C'Leena's attention is completely arrested by the cat's bluntness. It doesn't bother her whatsoever, but it still caught her completely off guard. "Damn, man. What makes you say that?" She says, a half-smirk on her face as she looks at the felinekin. "Honestly? Yeah. Sadly don't get to spend much time here - fiancé isn't huge on the heat. No, scratch that, she hates it with her entire being. Other than that, I do like this place." She easily responds.
"Dr. C'Leena Thomas. Sadly from nowhere you'd know of. More of a wanderer nowadays." She says, smiling. C'Leena clocks the woman staring at her, and despite the progress she's made over the months, a look of discomfort flickers across her features. She's never been a fan of being stared at, and hasn't really reached the stage where she'd grow used to it. Nephele is honestly the only person she's completely fine with looking at her various scars.
Once the woman explains herself and extends a hand, the flickers of discomfort vanish from her features, steeled behind something to focus on. C'Leena takes the womans hand and shakes it. Strangely enough, C'Leenas hand feels wrong. One would expect malleable flesh and the warmth of body heat but neither are felt. Instead, the distinct feeling of cold metal is almost jarring to feel instead. "Glad to hear, I'm hella tired, thank you very much and thank you." She says appreciatively.
Seemingly in between blinks, her eyes go from the aquamarine to a completely different pair of eyes1. Replacing the unnatural gem-like eyes from before are what seem to be completely normal eyes, except for the fact that the irises are a brilliant, almost glowing golden color. C'Leena has only done this to throw this woman off kilter and because it's fun to do. "I do try my damnedest." She says.
With the sudden commotion behind her, she turns around and watches the scene unfold with an amused expression. "I would have to agree with Yuki here - your boredom might get cured in a few moments. Although I wouldn't of minded peace and quiet for once."
