Though the blizzard finally let up, Akiko found herself back in Cait's tavern, and with her seemed to be the two dolts of her team. The two she had been looking for back in the world they had just been in. Whether it was just supernatural magic out of her control or something that the two girls did, Akiko was unaware, though the scornful frown on her face told the two girls everything they needed to know. With a dreadfully calm wave of her hand, Akiko's borrowed Red Relic vanished from her figure.

[color=hotpink]"Captured by slavers. Really?"[/color] Akiko scolded her cohorts, still amazed that the situation happened to them. Rose advertised herself as this cool pirate, then... this happened. Great. Just absolutely wonderful. Whatever the case, she wasn't going to hear it. She wouldn't let her annoyance screw with the atmosphere in the room, even if she very much wanted to. Hell, she was pretty confident that she could. 

She felt it'd be... rude... of her to not at least say hello to the newcomers in the room. [color=hotpink]"Evening, White Masks. Was your first adventure successful?"[/color] She wanted to know. If it wasn't, then there was likely no use of these White Masks to Akiko, and if it was, well, surely she wouldn't have to explain her intents, right? 

She walked over to the new 'shopkeep' in the room, recognizing the face of the booth owner due to a vision through a certain someone's past. [color=hotpink]"Heard quite a bit about you, Emilia."[/color] Akiko said flatly. [color=hotpink]"Kind of glad Lorelai and Asgard didn't get to you before you got out of that situation."[/color]

Akiko brushed the hair out of her face and back to the side before she offered a small smile. [color=hotpink]"Of course, I'm not gonna do anything. I'm just here to make business."[/color]
