“Calling me out to the riverbank as the sun drifts down to the horizon, I half expected to find you carrying a lute and a bouquet of flowers, Dacal~” The words of the Valerican Vixen rife with mischief as she called out to a man as moved toward the great river that flowed through Orchidia, as Sofia Serena laid eyes on the fellow she had arranged to meet with and beamed at him, Sofia couldn’t help but want to make the mood light when she saw what recent events had done to the usually upbeat town guide. Standing rather stiffly with his arms folded and not a hint of that welcoming smile on his face as the sapphire siren slipped away from the beaten track to the spot they had arranged to meet, the usually scruffy but customarily relaxed Dacol Lubex looked tense and a little bit stern with the concern that he felt, which was something of a contrast to the casual attitude shown by his partner for the night.
“And me, finding myself an unmarried woman slipping away to share the company of a different man each night… I wonder what such a rumour will do to my reputation~?” Possessing a strong preference to keep things as playful as she could and perhaps also reacting to the awkwardness of her partner by doing what she could to try and lift his spirits, Sofia slipped through the grass and shook her cyan locks softly, giggling and licking her lips as she laid out even more sauciness in her attempt to help inspire a smile in Mr Lubex. Not quite succeeding of course, though whether it was because of her choice of humour anyone’s guess, while the bearing of the blue beauty seemed relaxed, her garb hinted that she was more serious than the candour she showed might have implied.
“Heh, it’s a relief to know that last night hasn’t dampened your spirits, Miss Serena…”
Absent the usual flowing dress and feminine flair which she usually liked to flourish in as she was greeted by her client and companion for the evening, while smiling at her ‘date’ the foreign fox showed that had disregarded some of her usual feminine flair in favour of functionality as she wore a puffy coat loose enough to allow plenty of movement while protecting her body from the coolness of a late winter evening, along with a skinny pair of jeans and tan boots that were one of the more sensible options in terms of heel height. Ensemble completed with the addition of a nice wool cap which sat atop her head with a furry little bobble, while there was still plenty of charm in the design of her dressing, it was clear she was not looking to impress the man she met. Or at least, Miss Serena didn’t want to flaunt the gifts that lay her garb as much as she usually tended to.
“Of course not~ It was a surprise, to be sure, but one that I’m eager to get to the bottom of…” Dacol more the type of man she’d rather spend a night sharing drinks and funny stories with than saliva and spiciness, she felt more relaxed about this man as she flaunted her bold curiosity as the reason for her arrival here.
“Speaking of, shall we get to it~? We’re burning moonlight, after all…” This not the whole truth really but the concern that she felt something that seemed like a detail that wasn’t worth sharing when her partner seemed so preoccupied, even then the briskness of the beauty did hint at the worry she felt, with Sofia wanting to get this issue settled before anyone else was hurt by it…
