The Dark lady of the Night Daze was not aware of the Mercenaries proclivities in the slightest. Part of her feared the poor beauty was some sort of aromantic or asexual creature. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but it always felt like a waste to a woman so suffused and – honestly – defined by her sexuality.<br/><br/>“Oh-hoh~ If nothing else, it's exciting to know that at least something in this world entices you other than work. I was worried that you only sharpened your steel for business' sake.” The puns she had in store for a walking talking Sword-woman... It could only have been better if Sizo were a man. She'd not hear the end of jokes about finding her the right sheathe, or about the benefits of a well polished weapon. “There's always work for a woman like you, Sizo. How much pocket money would your side hobby demand? Perhaps you're interested in some extra spending money to spend in my domain? Always happy to take some of the money I spend on your talents straight back, in return for some of<em>my</em>talents.” She giggled, letting the vibrations wiggle up the Aegisslash's arm.<br/><br/>Mika nodded in appreciation at Sizo's brief compliments, big grin on her face as she retreated to make sure no one bothered the pair. General courtesy would keep most people away from what looked like a lovey-dovey couple, especially with how Anna's fingers were starting to stroke up and down the arm trapped tight to the Absol's chest.<br/><br/>“I have three jobs that can be done quick, and one that will take some time. All of them need to be finished before the festival next week.” Mixing business talk with the petting of a working girl was a thrill in its own right. It was like a balancing act, and Anffwad played it well.<br/><br/>“<strong>Ladies and Gentlemen...</strong>” The sound of a strumming, deep note filled the hall as the first brush of fingers along a harp echoed out from the stage. “<strong>...Introducing the Iridescent Insect of Intrigue and Indulgence; The Darling, the delightful, <em>the</em> Dyneias.</strong>” Brief applause began as the strumming of the harp returned, a second long stroke that filled the room with a wash of sound. The keenly aware would see that, as the curtains started to rise, a wave of fumes flowed forth. Heavy scents of flowery, honey-laden sweetness filled the hallway, evoking memories of baked goods, and wild outings; of fields of flowers, and of childhood homes. Pleasant smells were met with pleasant sounds as the harpist's fingers began to dance. Plucking and swaying with practised ease as her song turned classical and elegant. The beauty of Dyneias was obvious to all who saw her. Her body was covered in a sequinned dress that flowed down her figure in ripples of jewelled fabrics. Her large wings were given plenty of room to spread behind her, framing her slender physique and complimenting the royal purple fabric of her attire. The dress covered her legs, but left her arms free and unburdened. On closer inspections, a slit ran from underneath her side to her ribs, and up to her shoulders. The velvet dress bunched around her neck in a collar to support itself, and only served to bring more attention to her face. She wore make-up to an awe-inspiring effect, highlighting her full lips, and her high cheekbones. Her nose was small, and her eyes were made big by the surrounding liner. Hazel eyes fluttered, flicking long lashes out and glancing around the room as her purple hair swayed down her back in a radiant cascade.<br/><br/>Music began to fill the room, as did the scents of Dyneias' performance. Anna was caught briefly staring at her performing darling, smiling in admiration before bringing her attention back to Sizo. “That will serve as a suitable distraction. I have two jobs in Delinquent Town, one in the Port, and a Longer Job that will likely take you until the end of the week, maybe beyond it. There's a stalker in Delinquent Town who needs to be reminded to stay away from my girls; a thief who keeps stealing things from my pantry; a Port-Town Supplier who has tried to cheat me; and a more...thorough investigation of someone who might be a thorn in my side if I leave them be. Anything particularly interesting to you?”
