[Kainé turns on her heel after the collision to see who it was that had slammed into her, nevermind the fact that he'd already apologized, and in the process of doing so, spots the approaching goblin who seems to be in pursuit of someone.
Talk about a hard sell.
It doesn't take a whole lot to put two and two together, especially with Yuri standing there talking to beans, as well as her own experiences with the goblins so far.]
... I've been looking all over for you, you know. It's not like we can afford to be throwing what money we have away in a place like this.
[There's a sense of relief as the goblin gives up his pursuit, glaring at Yuri before turning away and calling 'Miss! in the other direction.
He'd say it was a perfect escape! The tension in his shoulders eases and he grins as he takes a quick glance over his shoulder. Yup, in the clear! ]
Thanks for that. Really didn't mean to run into you, wasn't sure what th-tha-uh.
[His brain short circuits as he looks at her. Really looks at her. And sure, she's pretty, but it's more about what she's wearing.
Her breasts: they're right there Her arms: they're hardly covered (except that weird bandage but he's not even looking at that Her legs: Going for miles Her ass: IS IT HANGING OUT?
[Oh, for fuck's sake. On the one hand, if she didn't want people to look to at least some degree, she'd cover up more. On the other?
He's just being so goddamn weird about it.
One corner of her mouth twitches before she heaves a sigh and winds up, pulling her fist back in preparation before she throws a hard punch at him— square in the jaw.]
Eyes are up here, dumbass. Talk to my face, not my tits. Common fucking decency.
[ The punch isn't completely unexpected (he's used to being on the receiving end of such violence, but the weight behind it has him flailing and tumbling to the ground. Holy shit. ]
Lady, what the hell! [ He sits up, his hand goes to his jaw, and his eyes squeeze tight. She's gotta be some kind of demon, that's gotta be it. ] Look, I just got confused or something, sorry. Fallin' out of mirror, chased by short ugly guys, and now you're out here...is this some kind of nudist colony?
[ HE'S HEARD OF THOSE. From Roger. Who may not be the most reliable source. Who may have been fucking with him. Or maybe Roger was just into the nudist thing, which brings up the mental image of Roger Bacon being Naked and Yuri's eyes pop open. ]
I ain't gettin' naked. [ Nobody said he had to and yet here he is, saying it anyway. ]
[Yuri, maybe if this kind of thing happens to you on a regular basis, you have some reassessing to do. Maybe. Still, his response does seem to make her reconsider, if only for a moment. Her expression remains hard aside from a faint flicker of sympathy— seems like they're in the same boat. She lets out a quiet 'tch,' retracting her fist.]
Been a long fucking day for all of us, I guess.
[For anyone keeping score, she is not enjoying her time here in Aefenglom.]
Nobody asked you to get naked. Do us all a favor and keep it on. This is how I dress.
[ He does end up being beat up by the women in his life - but for good reason. Even he can admit it. He is just a man and he has eyes and he ain't woke for shit.
He works his jaw, making sure nothing's out of place, before he pushes himself back up to stand. Lesson 1 here: don't piss off the underwear lady. Got it. ]
Yeah, yeah, okay I said sorry. [ There's shame in his voice as he rubs the back of his neck, not really meeting her eyes just yet but definitely not looking at her body. Nope, he's back to scoping out beans. ] You been here long?
[She'd make him worse than sorry otherwise, but he seems penitent enough for now. Her mood doesn't exactly lift, but she does fold her arms in front of her, which means she's no longer in a position to throw another punch— at least not quickly. That has to be worth something.]
[ He focuses very heavily on her face. So much so that he's just stopped blinking entirely. So now his eyes are dry. So he has to squint at her when he talks. ]
You said it. [ He can sure as hell agree on that. ] You fall into a bathroom, too?
[ There is a mighty frown at her. Don't you judge him. ]
Yeah it wasn't my choice, okay? [ Maybe this place isn't Bathroom Planet after all. ] If the shop keepers were gremlins like that guy chasing me, you're better off you missed them.
[ She probably would have handled it better than he did, and when the thought enters his mind he looks annoyed before shaking it off. Whatever, he was just caught off guard.]
[ Under normal circumstances where he isn't the stooge, he would find the joke funny. Except he's a stooge a lot and it's his own damn fault so he'll just grimace at her.
Damn women. He's always gotta find himself the snarky ones. ]
What kind of place is this anyway? [ He's assuming she knows more, because of course she would - he doesn't know shit. ] I've seen some weird but this is topping the list right now.
[She rests a hand against her hip, making a flippant gesture with the other.]
Magic, monsters, all pretty typical shit, except people transforming is normal here.
[And, if she's being honest, she doesn't hate that. People have been pretty relaxed about her being in town, and compared to all of the 'monsters,' she almost passes as normal here. That said, she's not sure how she feels about being a 'witch.']
Everything out in the wilde is diseased. You hear about that yet?

Few days. Long enough by my count.

Shopfront. May have made a mess in the process. Left a note for the shopkeepers.

That's shit luck.

Shop seemed like a stand-up kind of place, but yeah. Never know. Usually not inclined to think the best of people.
