( her eyes are unsettling to most humans. black sclera, gold irises. they glow, just a little. enough that you could find her in the dark. much the same as the tattoos across her forehead, sharp geometric lines. they look like they were drawn in molten gold.
the fake eye doesn't draw her attention, but the way he tenses up does. oh, of course she's aware. the twist and sway of it in him, the danger. she may flirt with it as a rule — you live in cassantine and you have to if you like breathing — but her flight instinct is well-honed and very sharp. she beats a tactical retreat out of his space. there's a bit of fear in her now, that sense that she isn't entirely sure she has the upper hand any more. juuvan's voice again. run, yarelia.
she decides to adopt another approach. which means little kernels of truth in and amidst the lies. )
I'm an acquisitions agent! I make it my mission to, ah... acquire rare and valuable artefacts. Which I, of course, sell at a premium to bolder people than myself. In the simplest terms, I run a pawn shop.
