Mali walked through the bar, barely noticing the stares she and Relic were getting. She merely kicked that particular detail into a corner of her mind to rot. It was something she had gotten used to awhile ago. Still, it was probably putting the kid on edge, what with wanting to lay low and not get beaten up. But being inconspicuous was just something that they weren't going to be while traveling together. 

Still, one of the gawkers stood out. The girl with the Bus Guy was giving her an eyeful. On a closer inspection she was pretty cute. Yeah, she was probably staring for the reason anyone else would, but the paranoid part of her brain brought up the fact that she and the Bus Guy might be part of the conspiracy. They certainly weren't above conscripting thugs into the service, and it was odd to run into a total stranger multiple times within such a short period of time. It would be entirely possible that he was hired to follow them around and keep track. At the same time, that was a dangerous hole to follow. She'd seen no astrological tattoos on them and the Bus Guy was minding his own business, so she wouldn't get too worked up over this.

Mali sat down next to Relic and sized up the bartender, another giant black man. Less giant and more black than the bouncer at the door, but still a brick wall of muscle. Whoever owned this bar knew how to pick up physically intimidating staff members. Well whoever this woman was, she wasn't here. But while they were here, it'd be a waste to just sit around.

The temptation to get something alcoholic since she was on forced downtime was there, but ultimately denied. Driving around and standing in the dusty Public Recods Building reminded her that she was behind on her water requirements for the day and would need some rehydrating.

[color=D5FF00]"So,"[/color] she said, turning to address her compatriot. [color=D5FF00]"do you want to stick around and wait for her, or do you have something else in mind?"[/color]
