"I'd rather they think I'm gullible and I get to prove them wrong then them be scared of me and lose the business." Xachia glanced at Kai over her shoulder, her eyes flashing like a warning. "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

@Elder-God-Jacks347

Her warning quickly vanished and her demeanor returned to normal. "Like what? I don't know what you're talking about." She shrugged and returned to her shopping, moving to the next stall.

@Elder-God-Jacks347

"No, I don't think I do. And for someone that seems so desperate to hop to the next place so you don't get caught, you're spending an awful lot of time talking to someone you don't even like."

@Elder-God-Jacks347

"Well, looks like that'll have to wait for another day, I've gotta get back to the tavern." She patted Kai's head with a sweet smile. "See you soon adventurer." She flicked her hair over her shoulder and disappeared into the crowd with her basket.

Kayin snarled and slapped Xachia's hand away impatiently. "Insufferable," he said in annoyance under her breath. She paid the stand owner for the oranges and wandered the market.

Xachia returned to the tavern, heading into the kitchen to help her father prepare for the night's service. She didn't mind the fact that Kai didn't like her. A lot of people didn't, it wasn't anything new to her.

@Elder-God-Jacks347

Xachia and her father could been seen in the kitchen through the window cut out in the wood of the wall behind the bar. They had yet to notice Kai, still just talking easily in Draconian.

"You know, in most cultures it's considered rude to stare Kai." Xachia chuckled without ever taking her eyes off her work. "But I suppose one who doesn't respect rules isn't going to respect culture either."

@cryptic-glitch

"I am not staring," Kayin said, anger sharpening his tone. "I'm observing you, and trying to figure out why you acted so oddly." She scowled at Xachia. "And you don't seem to be inclined to give me an answer."

@Elder-God-Jacks347

"Once again, I have no idea what you're talking about." Xachia came out from the kitchen to the bar and pulled a wet rag out from a bucket under the counter. "Now can you move your arms? I need to wipe the counter."

@cryptic-glitch

"Really? Okay, why did act like you were about to attack me? I didn't do anything especially provoking," Kayin said, pulling his hair away from his face.

@Elder-God-Jacks347

"I wasn't acting like anything. It was just a warning to not underestimate me simply because I choose to smile more than you do." Xachia answered pointedly, raising an eyebrow at Kai.

@Elder-God-Jacks347

"Aren't you the one who told me my cheery attitude would make people think I'm gullible? As if I don't already know that? I can take care of myself, I was just proving that."
