Location: A quiet, unaffiliated bar @andtenjin
It was nice to get away from the divine establishments, to lose herself in a benign, normal bar. Tez had an Old Fashioned cocktail in front of her, how she preferred to drink whiskey when she wasn't in Alekto's presence. Here the noise was restrained to the din of other conversations, the soft beeping of a table that had been fitted with a holographic version of pool. It was the perfect place to have a conversation.
The door chimed, and Tez looked up just in time to see Tenjin slip in through the door. Tez raised her glass to catch Tenjin's eye and then motioned to the seat opposite her. Once Tenjin joined her, Tez leaned back in her booth, cooly sipping her drink. "It appears we are living in eventful times," Tez mused, savouring the citrus, sugary kick of her drink. She skipped over pointless pleasantries, wasted words that felt like a sin in front of a deity like Tenjin. "Chaos scares many, but to those wise, it brings opportunity in tow." Tez thought of Hephaestus, his appeals for a council that she had heard whispered about. It was an obvious grab for power, one Tez bristled at partially from jealousy at having not thought of it first.
No matter, Tez would seek her own avenues for power. "Are you scared?" Tez asked Tenjin, staring into her eyes. "Or have you any news on opportunities?" Attaboy, was what Tezcatlipoca meant. Whether there might be inrows with Utu or Veles.
