<div align="center"><strong>-= NPC Interactions – Eavesdown Docks, Persephone =-</strong></div><br/>The arrival of the strange, shoeless woman dressed in plain work overalls, hardly went down a treat with a certain pair of 'dock doxies'. Idle banter about the price of bustiers soon became irrelevant. What was this dirty, and no doubt smelly, red-headed 'thing' doing on their turf, they now asked each other instead in fluent Mandarin. At first, they merely seemed to observe from behind their feathered, oversized fans. Sizing the strange woman up and down, and even giggling at both her lack of shoes and sack-like clothing. While on the contrary, their 'gowns' highlighted their most important assets leaving very little to the imagination overall. They would not be caught dead without stiletto heals, high cleavage and fancy, ornamental accessories. Perhaps 'it' was merely lost, and would realise this territory was indeed not for trespassing upon? But when the lost 'thing' loitered longer, the docks doxies grew far more impatient. No longer did they merely lounge in relative boredom against the stacked crates.<br/><br/>“Kwai jio kai,” spat one in hushed sneer; her ebony locks piled high in a bouffant upon her oval shaped head. Bright red lips curled in clear distaste while her narrowed, smoky eyes feared the strange woman might yet scare away potential customers if she lingered any longer.<br/><br/>“Ugh,” the strawberry blonde rolled her brighter eyes and leaned closer to her friend. With elaborate fan poised in front of her French Rose lips, she uttered her more blunt insults. “If the sight ain't bad enough the smell sure as heck is and...<em>Ai ya</em>!... Is it me, or is it tryin' ta set up camp?”<br/><br/>The ebony doxy flicked her feathered fan open, only just realising that the stranger on the docks had already copied her signature 'come on over here fellas' stance down to a T.<br/><br/>“Jahn!” She squealed with pure sarcasm dripping from her venomous tongue. “That's plain ole bai ri meng.”<br/><br/>“Ignore it an' maybe, jus' maybe, it'll go away.”<br/><br/>“It better! 'Cause don't look now but I reckon we got ourselves a peng you.”<br/><br/>Right on cue, the two doxies straightened up slightly. Busts were pushed forwards with the well-practiced arch of their spines, while lazy eyes peered over the ruffles and feathers of their tops of their splayed fans. The blonde strategically flashed her fishnet covered leg through the slit in her skirt, while the ebony merely rested her free hand on the more prominent curve of her pear-shaped hips.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Kwai jio kai: Get lost<br/>Ai ya: Damn / my god<br/>Jahn!: Shiny / awesome / fantastic<br/>Bai ri meng: Daydream or wishful thinking<br/>Peng you: Friend, pal, buddy<br/><br/><hr/>
