As soon as she knocked on the door, light footsteps began approaching. Soon the door opened and someone she did not quite expect opened the door. She had to refrain from reaching out and petting the girl on the head. A small girl with feline features opened it. Ears, and two tails. Livia's eyes widened momentarily. A Tabaxi? Couldn't be, they were far more feline and this girl was more human than feline. Not to mention she had two tails. Something quite rare to begin with. If she had to guess she was some sort of hybrid made between a human and Tabaxi, but she had certainly never heard of something like that before. What was more intriguing though, was her attire. It was foreign, originating from a land called Kogami. If that wasn't odd enough, It was [i]extremely[/i] expensive. At least on the upper end of 50GP just for a child. She made a mental note of these facts. Perhaps might prove enlightening later. Before she could even respond to the girls question though, the voice of what she could only assume to be the mayor echoed from within. Seemed she had good timing then. Livia followed the girl in, glad to be out of the weather for now as she loosened the cloak to rest around her shoulders. This place certainly was nice, for a place so far out in the country. The paintings were quite well done indeed - she even recognized a few places as locations she passed while traveling here. Perhaps the Mayor has a reserve of money from somewhere, if the slip the girl made was any indication. It'd be difficult to acquire such clothes as hers. Overall, it was quite the cozy little home. Nothing she was quite used too, but it certainly helped remind her of home a little. As she entered, two other people were there. An old man and...an orc? One who expected hostility or rudeness in return, it seemed. Well - such things Livia considered herself above. Race meant nothing to her, only the merit of ones abilities. She said nothing immediately in reply, she simply gave Nartur a cool glance and focused instead on the room - [color=8882be]"Oh my goodness those kittens are adorable."[/color] Her face changed from her usual expression as a smile covered her lips, walking quickly over to a couch where a kitten was rolling around, and had somehow managed to get stuck between the cushions. She let the Orc and the Mayor finish their discussion as she attempted to get the kitten to play with her. Something about the Mayor being a coward? Was trouble brewing somewhere? Curious. She heard about the mines and the thievery, but was there something else they were trying to keep under wraps? When Nartur finally left, Livia was sitting on the couch calmly. [color=8882be]"Aha, don't apologize."[/color] She replied calmly, a small smile forming on her lips. [color=8882be]"I should be the one apologizing for coming in somewhat unannounced."[/color] She eyed the letter he had curiously. Of course her mother sent a letter. Hag. [color=8882be]"It is a pleasure to meet the both of you, Mayor Nikolas, Monita. Don't worry about the quarters either. I realize I am far from Alenoa where my name holds not as much weight. I shall make do at the Inn for now like everyone else."[/color] She poured herself some of the tea that Monita bought, taking a small sip. It wasn't her first choice of lodging, but what had to be done had to be done. The tea was surprisingly good. Not as good as Nynettes, but she could hardly complain. Better than being served cheap wine or beer. Onto more important matters though. [color=8882be]"As for why I am here...well, I originally simply came to inform you of my arrival. It'd be rude to arrive and not at least introduce myself."[/color] She continued, setting her teacup back on the tray. [color=8882be]"As well as I wanted to ask about the general well being of the town. Perhaps ask if there was anything around town that needed someone with knowledge of the Arcane or scholarly interests that need doing."[/color] She needed to secure a source of income first, after all. [color=8882be]"From the rumors outside though, I can safely assess most of the situations."[/color] She mused, taking one of the cookies. [color=8882be]"But perhaps if its not too intrusive - what were you and Miss Nartur discussing?"[/color] She took a bite out of the cookie as she expectantly waited for his reply.
