Rina woke in the morning, stretching like a cat in the light filtering through the rough shutters of her rented room. As she stretched she brushed against the warm skin of the female trader she met the other evening [i]'What was her name?"[/i] she thought to herself, [i]'Laura.. Jenna.. Tori..?'[/i]

It ultimately didn't matter, they had had fun with one another, snatching a moment of comfort in an oft desolate and despairing world.

She had encountered the merchant girl waiting at her door after stumbling out of Madison's bar at 12 in the morning. She had spent hours trading caravan victories with the good-natured (if slightly sleazy) scavenger and downing whiskey after whiskey. They had traded names, jokes and stories aplenty, none too serious and none too damning. She had recounted him with the details of her last bounty and the ease of which she was able to collect on the caps. He in turn had inform her of a few things he had learned to be of great value during his scavenging. They had parted on amicable terms, wishing each other well and ending somewhere between acquaintances and fast friends. Of all the ghouls she had met in her life he was certainly one of the most clever. 

As she refocused on the morning at hand she stood from the bed, the blanket falling away from her to expose her bare flesh. She stretched again and let out a yawn of satisfaction. She checked the time on her pipboy, 0430, and nodded to herself. An average night sleep for her in town, she never slept quite as well as when she was out in the wastes roughing it with Acosador.

She looked once more upon the girl still sleeping in the bed before crossing the room and dressing in her gear. She sat at the small table that was provided and checked and cleaned Paciencia and the rest of gear. With a quick glance about the room, and one more longing stare at the inviting sight of the warm bed and the person in it she silently gestured to Acosador and led the way through the door into the warm glow of the morning sun.

Rina finished her breakfast of delicious yucca fruit, a slice of brahmin steak, and purified water before laying her caps on the table and heading back towards Madison's bar to report in Jackson and officially introduce herself. Perhaps she could even snatch a sip of whiskey before officially departing.
