Felicia raised a brow at the dog that slowly bounded past several other strangers to come sniff curiously at her, in particular. Noticing that she had come from what looked like a law enforcement type of guy, she couldn't help but feel singled out a little. Even though she didn't show any of the telltale signs of a drug dog that had sniffed out something illegal, Felicia did have to admit that she looked like "the type" of girl who might have something. As the man who she would later know as Ryker glanced in her general direction, Felicia felt a little uncomfortable, but... dammit, the dog was cute.

[color=hotpink]"Can I [i]help you,[/i] ma'am?"[/color] Felicia asked Sascha pointedly, lowering her body posture suddenly, in that way people do when a dog wants to play.

But, Sascha didn't seem interested. She didn't return Felicia's "play signal." She just kept sniffing, until Ryker bade her return to his side.

Felicia was left a bit puzzled, and if she was being honest, a little disappointed that she couldn't pet the dog. She couldn't be mad, though. Sascha was a good girl.

She rolled her eyes at Ryker's flirtatious invitation, but begrudgingly offered him a sly smile for trying. Even if he wasn't smooth, he was at least as cute as his partner, and that was something. She stood up from the wall she was leaning up against and began walking towards the line of people showing off their plant essences, prompting a slightly urgent and questioning look from her uncle. [color=hotpink]"I want to see what kind of super-powered clientele I'll be dealing with,"[/color] she said to no one in particular, not looking at Jacques. [color=hotpink]"On that note, I'm curious actually. You had [i]what[/i] kind of essence?"[/color] she asked Ryker, suddenly taking an interest in him again—a business-like interest, granted, but interest all the same.

Sascha took the opportunity to start sniffing at Felicia again, now that she'd drawn closer. [color=hotpink]"[i]What?[/i]"[/color] Felicia responded in a hushed tone, offering her hand for the dog to sniff to her heart's content. [color=hotpink]"Sorry, missy, but I don't have any treats for you,"[/color] she said, giving Ryker a meaningful look.
