Kali gave the bard a knowing smirk but otherwise remained quiet as she spoke her piece. Though she managed to keep her expression neutral, internally she could feel heat spreading through her form as the bard’s words conjured vivid images in Kali’s mind. [color=AAFF77][i] ‘As troubling as her company prove to be in the future, it does seem like she has a lead we could follow up on’[/i][/color] Kali concluded as she and the goddess watched the Bard’s form mingle and then disappear into the crowded bar, and only when she was out of sight did Kali release a sigh and relax her form.

Taking a few moments to compose herself, Kalu turned back to Cecilia and returned the soft-smile with her own. [color=AAFF77][b]”No need to apologise, I can understand being flustered at such forward attention. Especially if you have not experienced it before it can be quite easy to be caught off guard”[/b][/color] Kali replied with a soft chuckle. In truth she had pulled very similar stints before when mingling with social circles of higher standing than her own. When she had performed it herself, she had always wondered how it could have been so effective, but now having witnessed it performed against her, it was easy to see why many people could become flustered and led along as one desired. [color=AAFF77][b]”I suppose as far as encounters like that go, the outcome was preferable. It seems as though she might even be able to give us a lead to follow, though I might need to keep an eye on her lest she try to steal you away”[/b][/color] Kali continued, finishing with a bemused smile at the last thought - both thinking the bard would struggle at any attempts but still being somewhat possessive of Cecilia.

At Cecilia’s question of their next step, Kali leaned back in the seat and glanced across the bar as she considered their options, before finding her gaze returned to Cecilia’s face, unable to fight the desire to continue to stare at the goddess. [color=AAFF77][i]’I wonder if she wants me to make the decision as a form of test? Or perhaps that last encounter has her somewhat..unsettled perhaps?[/i][/color] Kali thought to herself as she studying the Goddess with her own thoughtful expression. After a moment she replied [color=AAFF77][b]”Well, I’ll admit I’m somewhat new to the adventuring life but when I was travelling it was often necessary to stock up on supplies. Even with our abilities we’ll likely find some use looking through the town stores and spying for anything that might prove useful. I’m not sure what kind of work that Red-haired woman might have in mind, but since she wants to discuss it at night we’d be best booking a room for the two of us while there’s still vacancies as well. I do also admit I am curious to learn more about Julia’s Cord through practice, so if there is time it could be fun to explore the nearby terrain and perhaps take a few practice shots”[/b][/color]
