Anthony
*Melody would silently read the papers she carried, making sure each of them were properly signed and accounted for before she'd place them in her the bags she kept strapped to her side.*"Alright, just have to get this checked off then I can see what this guild is all about tomorrow."*Melody would say under her breath. The sky seemed barely lit with Melody setting out early in the morning, doing her best to avoid the afternoon rush.*
Tammy
*She walked along the road, wondering where to go next. Then she spotted a curious creature, deciding to ignore the centaur looking hybrid.* "Ayee I really should fix my nails..! I'll paint them later.." *Her multiple tails swayed in the wind, looking silky as ever.*
Anthony
*Melody would glance over towards the other individual walking along the road, hearing her seemingly talking to herself as well.*"Trying to avoid the rush as well?"*She'd ask to her, offering a smile to the woman seeing as there weren't many others out here at the time.*
Tammy
"Oh yes..! I'm just trying to find someone to talk to.. I'm quite lonely." *She stopped, looking at the centaur.*
Anthony
"Oh- well... If you want you can walk with me for a while. I just have to turn some papers in for today, but you can accompany me. What's your name miss?"*She'd say, asking the last part as she came to a slow stop.*
Tammy
"Kiro.. Kiro Hatsumi. I'm a kemonomimi."
Anthony
*She'd let out a quiet giggle.*"I can see that Miss Hastsumi."*Melody would say, finding humor in the woman needing to announce. Then again, in a world of shapeshifters, one never knew.*"My name is Melody Vander."*She'd say.*"Local bounty Hunter. Want to come with?"*Melody would ask, gesturing to follow as she'd begin trotting off.*
Tammy
"Sure! Where are we going melody?" *She began to follow her, thinking about the guard she met at the fighting pit..*
Anthony
"Just to the shopping district. I'm hoping to get this paperwork turned in so I can have keys to my new place soon."*She'd explain to her.*"You wouldn't happen to be new to the city, would you?"
Tammy
"Ah.. No.. I was raised here. But I do often forget where everything is.. I wouldn't mind a tour." *She chuckled to herself, remembering her childhood in salvainia.*
Anthony
"I'm actually pretty new here myself. Been staying at a tavern for a week or so until I was able to find a place and guild to join here. I used to live up in Northern Mentia though. Wasn't such a bad place, but I wanted to travel out a bit to see what Salvania had to offer."
Tammy
"Ah! Well welcome to my hometown dear. I migrated here when I was a child.. I miss it back in kenguntan.."
Anthony
"Kenguntan?"*She'd ask.*"I've never had the chance to visit there with most of my training being in Mentia. What was it like there?"
Tammy
"Usually cold, or hot. Beautiful trees.. Nobel women in traditional clothing and such.. It was beautiful. I wish to visit it!"
Anthony
*Melody would tilt her head to the side as she'd come to a stop near the building she had been heading to originally.*"Is there something stopping you...?"*She'd ask curiously.*
Tammy
"Well.. Trauma.. I guess.." *She looks away, afraid of what melody might think.*
Anthony
"Oh dear-"*She'd say, drawing on into silence for a while before trying to offer a friendly smile.*"Well hey, don't let fear stop you from doing what you want to. If it helps, maybe you can find someone to go with you in case something goes wrong. That way you won't have to return to the place alone while still getting to enjoy it."
Tammy
"Ah! That's a good idea!" *She smiles, relieved of what her new centaur friend said.*
Anthony
"Glad you think so."*She'd say with a dip of her head.*"You don't mind waiting here do you? I'm just going to head inside and turn these papers in real quick."*She'd gesture back towards the building they were standing by before pulling out the paperwork she had stored in her bag.*
Tammy
"Ah okay.. I can wait!"
Anthony
*With a nod, Melody would turn around and head inside. Some time would pass until then, the sun seeming to dawn a bit higher into the sky before the Centaur would finally return and would place something in her bag as she headed out.*"That should be all squared away. I'll have to stop somewhere else later on, but how about we stop by a tavern to get something to eat before I have to take off. Sound good?"
Tammy
"Alright! Sounds good."
Anthony
"Good-"*She would turn away, glancing along both sides of the road before she'd trot back across it to begin heading towards the Tavern she used to stay at for some time now.*"Have yet to get myself some breakfast."*Tonight would be the night she finally get to see her own home, but for now a quick breakfast before she goes to meet back up with an acquaintance.*
Tammy
Isn't that where we meet

"Alright! We can go to the tavern for some food."
Anthony
*Melody would make her way down the road, following a route she was all too familiar with until she had managed to catch sight of the tavern. Gesturing to Kiro, she would wait by the door for her to join her.*
Tammy
*She runs after Melody, trying not to lose her.* "Waaaait!"
Anthony
*She'd come to a stop, letting out a quiet giggle.*"Not walking too fast am I?"*Melody would ask.*
Tammy
"You're not *Walking* You're trotting! Trot slower!" *She giggled.*
Anthony
"Yeah... I guess you have a point there. It's too bad taverns aren't always made for centaurs though."*She'd say, before taking off the bag strapped around her.*"Do you mind holding my bag for a quick second?"
Tammy
"Mhm!" *She takes the bag from her soft hand.*
Anthony
*Melody would stand there for a short moment, a golden light passing along her body as it would change form. Her doe-like ears would sit up straight atop her head while the deer half of her body would fade away to be replaced by more human-like legs. Several orange colored tails would appear behind her, allowing her to take on the appearance of another Kemonomimi before she would finally take her bag back from Kiro.*"Thanks. Shall we head inside?"*She'd ask.*
Tammy
"W-WHAT ARE YOU!?" *She stood there, her face blank. She was shocked, speechless even.*
Anthony
*She'd glance down at the tails she had sprouted, soon turning back to Kiro.*"A Kemonomimi-. At least I'd figure I'd turn into, y'know with taverns not really being fit for centaurs and you being a Kemonomimi. I thought it would be a could fit-"*It dawned on Melody for a moment that maybe she hadn't seen something like this before, causing her to tilt her head curiously.*"Don't worry. I'm still my same old self, just as a Kemonomimi now."*She'd say with a smile.*
Tammy
"S-So are you a.. Shapeshifter of some kind..?"
Anthony
"Yeah kind of like that-."*She'd say, nodding in agreement before placing a hand on the door and opening it slightly.*"Now come on, let's get some breakfast."
Tammy
*She sighs, tired.* "Alright.."
Anthony
*Melody would head inside the tavern, quickly picking a table for them to sit at. With it being earlier in the morning, there wasn't much competition for a place to sit to which Melody would take advantage of as she'd go to sit down.*"Ever eaten at a tavern before?"*She'd ask the woman.*
Tammy
*She sat down* "Ah yes, I used to work in one."
Anthony
"Oh? Where you one of the chefs...? Or perhaps a waitress?"*She'd ask curiously, turning away briefly to wave over one of the waiters so as to have their orders taken.*
Tammy
*She chuckles to herself, surprised at melody's enthusiasm.* "Ah no! I was a bartender.."
Anthony
"Did you enjoy the job?"*She'd ask her only to pause as the waiter would come over. Taking the opportunity, Melody would make a quick order of some biscuits and pork, waiting for Kiro to make her own order before continuing.*
Tammy
"Beer please. Thank you, sweetheart." *She looks away while ordering then looks back, ready to continue the conversation.*
"Well, I suppose. I made a lot of good friends! We got drunk together, talked about guys we've hooked up with.. So and so."
Anthony
"Sounds like a fun time."*She'd say, deciding to get more comfortable in her seat while they waited for the food to get back. Carefully she'd adjust her tails out the way, wondering how any Okami really got comfortable sitting on them all the time.*"So have any plans for the rest of the day?"
Tammy
"Eh probably not.. However.. I've had this mysterious man stuck in my head.."
Anthony
"A mysterious man?"*She'd ask with a tilt of her head.*"Why's that? What makes him so mysterious?"
