[Color=7DBC89]"I’d put gold down that says you're only focused on the 'sloppiness' because you're fantasizing about trading places with him right now, kitten. If you want my attention that badly, I'll pin you down later,"[/Color]

[color=peru]“Oooooh!”[/color] Minerva had been shameless as she teased her Yuan-Ti companion. Normally, she might have been a grouch around this time of day for missing her much-desired midday nap, but Meiyu was quite the entertainer. Being pinned down by her later might be for the best.

Minerva found herself unable to fight back the cheeky grin that spread on her face as Meiyu and the handsy Valenar elf struggled for dominance on the bare ground of the market. Now standing at their flank as their closest and most delighted spectator, she mentally bounced around which of the two would be the victor in this tussle. She knew only a pinch of Meiyu, and the stranger even less, but their movements told her plenty, giving away their ability to identify weaknesses and vulnerabilities to exploit. Stripped down to their base, the two were beasts driven by predation. 

[color=f6cf8a]"Snake woman. I may be a stray but I can assure you I am no slouch. As for the thorough, private inspection, I'm in if you are. Hm?"[/color]

With Elithar taking the dominant position, Minerva studied him for a few beats simply to compare him to Malik’s journal writings. [color=peru][i]Eh, I can’t.[/i][/color] She gave up rather quickly on the endeavor once she realized Malik didn’t give much to work with regarding his entries. He seemed boring if anything, and probably wouldn’t grab below a woman’s waist the way Elithar had. Malik had always written concisely, only explaining what he had accomplished during his periods of ‘play time’ (if she could even call it that. It was more like ‘work time’). 

It was while waiting on the next move that Minerva would find out she would have her own role in this vicious tango. Meiyu’s eyes looked to hers, which Minerva met with a cocky raise of an eyebrow. [color=peru][i]Oh, I dare you to beg[/i][/color],
 but something miraculous occurred.

[Color=7DBC89]"I have three gold for you if you can read my mind."[/color] Meiyu’s bargain wiped the confidence right off Minerva’s face, causing something to spark within her.

[color=peru]“Three… coins…”[/color] 

The offer stirred something insurmountable in Minerva’s very being as the scene around her slowed. She could hear the chants of a thousand Wendel’s chanting the two words in a roar she could not ignore. What was rightfully his was being served up to her to claim in his stead, by the snake woman no less. It was the reason she approached the woman. The reason she threw the peach at her. The reason WHY she dubbed herself Peaches Minerva… Well, maybe half the reason since the crash was what covered her in peaches. BUT, Minerva had tagged along with Meiyu, waiting for this very opportunity, so how could she not take this chance to make things right for her favorite friendly dwarf while imagining him egging her on to do so?

[color=peru]“Ha!”[/color] Minerva let out as she slightly lowered her stance and took a step forward. It was a deliberate movement to get herself set for the next, yet it was the action would be overlooked. She dashed forward with her toothy grin, nearly blurring from the speed of her movement. She planted her left foot to deliver a side kick to Elithar’s ribs, knocking him off of Meiyu, with nothing but acquiring that gold on her mind. 

Still in pursuit, Minerva hopped over Meiyu, and for a fraction of a second, a smug smirk could be seen on the shifter’s face. The moment her two feet reunited with the ground, Minerva dove forward like a cat pouncing at their prey. The elf was physically stronger than her, yes, but she was quick and knew exactly what she wanted to accomplish. Pinning him might have been a fun option for her, but for Wendel, she’d be more forward-thinking while wrestling against Elithar’s body on the ground.

Minerva mounted his back instead.

She wrapped her legs tightly around his torso, hooking her right arm beneath his own, and wrapping her left arm around his neck with the tips of her long, sharp nails resting threateningly on the right side of his face.

[color=peru]“That was fun. I’m Minerva. Don’t try anything weird, unless you wanna be ugly for the rest of your life.”[/color] She playfully tapped her fingernails against his face. [color=peru]“Hey! Stop trying to squirm! I’m not a boy, so I can’t even do a thorough, private inspection from this side of you… [i]What a shame.[/i]”[/color] Minerva attempted to whisper the last bit seductively into his ear, but she was just speaking at his ear in normal volume. [color=peru]“Anyway, just answer the Yuan-Ti’s questions, so she can pay me, and then you can go off on your grand adventure of touching women without their permission.”[/color] Minerva smiled before snapping at him pre-emptively. [color=peru]“[b]Don’t[/b] argue!”[/color]
