Rasteva huffed, looking over at Sara to see if she was well enough to push deeper into the building. [color=9e0b0f]"Come along now. And do not worry about Bandalur. He acts as a Guard to this place and is critical of newcomers. Frankly I find him to be very irritating, he talks too much."[/color] The Daemon used a wing to gesture towards the back of the room, a Bar situated at the farthest wall. [color=9e0b0f]"Back there, we will find who we're looking for."[/color] Navigating the throngs of people proved to be a test in patience. Daemons and Humans packed the building wall to wall. Talking, laughing, dancing and sometimes arguing. Many of them weren't too inclined to make way for Rasteva and Sara as they tried to get to the bar, but fortunately everyone seemed too distracted to concern themselves with having their toes stepped on. Sara and Rasteva finally reached the Bar and the Raven wasted no time in fluttering off of Sara's shoulder and onto the countertop. The Daemon strutted across the wood, head darting to and fro as if searching for someone. [color=9e0b0f]"Where is she?"[/color] A short purple haired woman suddenly rose form Behind the Bar and glared down at Rasteva. [color=a187be]"Hey! Get your tiny bird feet off of my Bar! This is a nice establishment I'm running here!"[/color] Rasteva stared up at the woman, looking unamused. [color=9e0b0f]"A pleasure to see you too, Lady Dalia."[/color] The woman's violet eyes widened in shock and she leaned forward to stare incredulously at the other Daemon. [color=a187be]"No way! Rasteva you're so SMALL! And so cute! Look at you!"[/color] Dalia squealed excitedly and scooped up a protesting Rasteva in both hands to hold them up for inspection. [color=9e0b0f]"You put me down this instant! I do not deserve this kind of treatment and I will have your respect!"[/color] Dalia didn't seem to particularly care about what Rasteva was saying and continued to hold them. [color=a187be]"Look at you! You got yourself a little vessel, that's so sweet-And you seem different somehow....."[/color] Dalia stared at Rasteva intently and the Raven shrunk back from her searching gaze. [color=a187be]"Oh Dear.....Rasteva what happened to you?"[/color] The Raven struggled in the woman's grasp until they managed to free themselves from her grasp. [color=9e0b0f]"My Companion and I must speak with you privately."[/color] Rasteva used a wing to gesture at Sara standing nearby and Dalia's gaze narrowed dangerously at the Human. [color=a187be]"Oh I see how it is...."[/color] Rasteva groaned loudly. [color=9e0b0f]"Dalia..."[/color] [color=a187be]"You're cheating on me!"[/color] Rastvea sputtered loudly, feathers suddenly puffing out. [color=9e0b0f]"WHAT?!"[/color] Dalia held a hand to her chest, looking on the verge of tears. [color=a187be]"You're gone for weeks and then you come back to tell me that you've been traipsing around with some Human hussy! I can't believe this!"[/color] [color=9e0b0f]"She is not a Hussy, and we haven't be traipsing anywhere....Why am I having this conversation with you? Pull yourself together this instant and help us!"[/color] Dalia frowned down at Rasteva and then shot another glare at Sara. [color=a187be]"FINE. I'll listen to what you both have to say, but I don't know how much I want to help either of you."[/color] The Woman grumbled and barked orders at another Bartender nearby. [color=a187be]"If you need me, I'll be in the back. Keep an eye on things for me."[/color] Dalia gestured at both Rasteva and Sara and led them to a door just past the bar. Ushering them inside she led them through what appeared to be a store room and towards another door situated at the far wall. Dalia held this one open for the two of them as they stepped inside, and they paused to look around as Dalia locked the door around them. It was small and cozy, the room lit by a multitude of scented candles. There was no furniture, and instead cushions and pillows of various sizes littered the floor. Overhead a collection of orbs of different sizes and colors floated near the cieling, each one thrumming with power. Rasteva hummed softly, looking back at Dalia. [color=9e0b0f]"Your collection has grown since last I was here Lady Dalia."[/color] The woman shrugged, grinning at the other Daemon. [color=a187be]"Yeah well you know how it is. Somebody falls behind on payments, I take a little bit of power from them. But I don't think you came here to talk about that, did you?"[/color] The other Daemon frowns, eyeing Sara carefully. [color=a187be]"But before we start, can this one be trusted? I mean, OBVIOUSLY I'm not afraid of her or anything. But you know how Humans love to talk....."[/color] Rasteva snapped at the other Daemon, a wing settling over Sara's head in a protective manner. [color=9e0b0f]"If I did not trust her, would I have brought her here at all? You know how much I hate having my time wasted, Dalia."[/color] The purple haired woman raised a brow, violet eyes staring at Rasteva in a searching manner. [color=a187be]"That's true I guess. Alright, I'll hear you out."[/color] Dalia swaggered towards one of the cushions on the floor and flopped onto it, gesturing at a nearby cushion for Sara to sit on. [color=a187be]"Okay you two, spill it. What do you want from me?"[/color]
