[ Yaaay work trips cropping up at the most convenient times for any RP I'm doing ever... ]<br/><br/>While she didn't mind large towns or cities (and in fact had very much enjoyed her time at the magical academy that she had done some studying at in one of the area's larger cities), she knew that her kind were typically looked on with distrust at the best of times, so she usually kept to herself when in more civilized areas.  Trying to maintain a straight face as the group made their way to the Gilded Rose was not the easiest for Cyria though.  Her meal was well and truly sealed away in her abdomen by now, which made the occasional lurch and sway of her backside no more than yet another pleasant reminder of just how long it had been since she had gotten an opportunity like this.  Anya's ministrations were certainly not helping matters in that regard, but they did have the side effect of mostly distracting her from the dingy and dilapidated town they were moving through.  The feel of Anya's hands on her abdomen sent an almost-constant tingling across her back as they wound their way through the cramped streets, especially given that she knew more than a few places where the tougher pseudo-chitin of her body gave way to softer and far more sensitive skin beneath.  The fact that her slow digestion meant that Jutii was likely going to continue squirming far into the night and remain as a pleasantly-filling bulge for some time afterwards before finally making her way to other parts of Cyria's body was just another added bonus.<br/><br/>Stepping inside the Gilded Rose, she was pleasantly surprised to see that this establishment was far more to her liking than the rest of the time.  Gratefully dropping down on the provided half-bench, she could feel the weight of her abdomen pressing against her swollen underbelly, causing her to give a slight groan of pleasure as her meal started to squirm again.  Looking at the waitress with an amused expression as Sasara made her preferences known, she raised one eyebrow curiously when Tina began to detail some of the more exotic services that the establishment offered.  If she was ever in the area again, she would need to remember this place if she felt a need to lighten her coinpouch any.  "Sangria for me, if you have any, otherwise watered wine will be fine."  Rocking back and forth a bit, she works Jutii into a more comfortable position and leans back, stretching her legs and absently pulling Anya a bit closer to her side.<br/><br/>The arrival of another fetching individual drew her gaze, especially given her approach.  Idly wondering if she had meant to look as enticing as she had, Cyria quickly discarded that line of thought as whether she had intended it or not, that line of inquiry was likely to come up at some point in the future.  As she began to go back and forth with Johan and Alura, that viewpoint shifted rather quickly from a possibility to a certainty, given how forward Lea was being.  Cyria had never been very picky at all when it came to those matters, and her mention of being something of an occasional willing meal was most certainly something that might get brought up again in the future.<br/><br/>"Cyria, and it is a pleasure to meet you, Lea.  Group arcanist and the closest thing we have to an expert on more general magic that doesn't fall into someone else's area of speciality.  Also apparently a bard, according to a recent, ah...acquaintance."  As the topic of conversation shifts back towards the rankings of various pieces of anatomy in their group hierarchy, Cyria's expression is a near mirror of Naji's, with a mixture of disbelief, resignation, and amusement apparent in equal amounts.  "Mmm, well, as much as Johan, Sasara, and I already had something of a plan for the night, I doubt very much that we would mind the addition of another to the fun..."
