To his right sitting upon a stool at the bar, stirring away at the contents of a mug was Akemi. Akemi had watched Zen fly down the stairs and into the kitchen upon hearing Lavi's cry and the smoke coming out of the kitchen should've been a concern for the guild. But much like the others, Akemi didn't seem anything but, though it was hard to tell what the girl was thinking or feeling at any given time due to her unchanging expressions. But she was having to cover her mouth with the sleeve of her jacket, not really wanting to breathe in any of the smoke. She had only recently recovered from falling ill due to straining herself while training, she didn't particularly feel like being bedridden for a day or more for the 3rd time in a matter of little more than a week. Despite how hard the girl was to get a reading on at the best of times, she did seem at least vaguely amused by Zen's current predicament. Just a subtle change in tone and a bit of a glint in her eyes as she locked with Kaden, bringing the mug containing what seemed to be a swirling green mass that smelled as horrible as it looked to her delicate lips and taking a prolonged sip. Just what was in the mug anyway? It wasn't alcohol that's fore sure, no one in the guild would've been idiotic enough to give the sickly girl booze of any kind. Zen would rip them apart if they did. Sighing softly as she took the wooden mug away, she looked back at Kaden before extending her hand towards him. She seemed to be expecting a handshake? [color=DDDCE1]"Akemi. You're uh...Kaden right? Zen said you were trouble and I should avoid you."[/color] Then why was the blunt girl speaking to him? Well, much like the contents of her mug only she knew.

Or rather, their lack of reaction it would seem. Though she herself found this one to be rather tame, it still warranted something from the others surely? And why did this Lavi girl see to find herself at the epicentre of so much of the randomness inside the guild? Making some mental notes already, she made sure to try and talk to Lavi at some point as she had heard some rather...contrasting rumours about the girl. Mostly about how she was evil incarnate or something? Which made her comedic attempts at cooking all the more perplexing indeed. Deciding that it was best to shelf the enigma that was Lavi, Alina noticed that one other in the room seemed to be making notes of what was conspiring around of them. Well, the note-taking wasn't what really caught her attention. No, it was the twitching wolf-like ears. That was what had initially drawn her attention, then it was the fact he seemed to be writing something down. Making her way over, she took the seat across from the beastkin. [color=9C2E37]"They're a rowdy bunch aren't they?"[/color] Alina gestured to the kitchen as she spoke, a gentle smile forming as she clasped her hands together in front of her on the table. [color=9C2E37]"It's rather curious as to how this guild continues to function with all it's...unique characters within."[/color] Bemused, Alina locked eyes with Menzai for a moment. For that briefest of moments, her warm and gentle facade vanished. A cold, analytical look contrasting vastly with the beaming smile she wore before her eyes softened just as quickly. [color=9C2E37]"I'm Alina by the way, Alina Bloomfield. you're one of the newer members correct?"[/color] Stretching out her hand towards the beastkin, her gaze didn't steer away from his. Despite this, she was still taking in any signs that Menzai might exhibit. Did he seem annoyed? Happy? Not bothered at all? [color=9C2E37]"I say newer member...but I'm hardly a veteran myself. I only joined about a month ago myself. Funnily enough when the rest of the guild was off defeating that dragon, a shame I missed it. Though I doubt I would've been much help, not often one gets to see a real, breathing dragon."[/color]
