[center] [h3]Mira[/h3] [h2] [b][u]Diver’s Paradise[/u][/b] [/h2] [/center] [@Rune_Alchemist][@tex] As the woman in front of them explained her situation as well as the reason for the current situation in the Paradise Mira couldn’t help but keep worrying. She always hated it when she was reminded of her past - and even more so when someone else might be related to it. This feeling only intensified as Mira noticed the other woman’s gaze drifting over her before she asked of their names. It felt like time stood still for Mira. [i]Has she guessed anything…?[/i] she wondered for a brief second, [i]no, of course not. You’re just being paranoid - after all, I’ve never met her before![/i] She told herself before forcing her mind back at the current topic, just in time for her to hear Lila speak her own name. Mira cleared her throat before answering. “Mira” she replied simply, didn’t feel like answering anymore than that - and luckily for her it seemed as if Lila had had enough as well. [color=f7976a]"So, aside from the terrible management and idiots runnin' this place, anything else happen while I was gone?"[/color] Lila spoke to Mira before continuing without waiting for an answer. [color=f7976a]"And if ya know of a place I can get a drink, that didn't get blown to smithereens, that'd be [i]great.[/i] Lost my alcohol barely a week out. Don't ask."[/color] “Oh you are in for a tale,” Mira replied with a rare note of teasing in her voice. “You’ve missed so much in your [i]prolonged[/i] absence! It’s really been quite a time here in ‘our’ little Paradise - you should ‘sooo’ have been here!” With each word she spoke the tone of teasing became thicker and thicker in Mira’s voice. “Oh you’ve lost your impressive amount of liquor? That must have been quite a devastating blow for you - thinking about it: I don’t think I’ve ever seen you more than a few feet away from a bottle of alcohol… Are you sure you’re going to be a-okay?” Mira winked at her before turning dead serious and adding in a worrying tone as she shifted her gaze beyond Lila. “Mmm… Any place that serves liquor [i]and[/i] survived the horrible attack? That’s gonna be unlikely…” she said thoughtfully before suddenly snapping her attention back towards Lila. “Ah! I doubt the devastation of the battle reached the lower regions, so ‘The White Horse’ might have survived with its liquor intact, if you’re lucky” “Although you know you have to order” Mira added, she really hated both excessive drinking and ordering - though she despised the latter much more as it required actual [i]interaction[/i] with people.
