“Huh! Weird, you knew my name! Wasn’t even wearing a nametag today. Color me impressed.” A small smile as she cleaned out the mug. “Me? From here? Oh, no, no. I’m a dragon from a far away plane of existence! A god too, lost her way. I only come here sometimes to relax.” A small wink as she began to laugh, there was only some truth to her words. Though, she always said that to be a jackass.
“Cali is beautiful though, huh? Beach, sand, ladies, all of it. Pretty amazing.” Idly her hands would polish a large drinking glass, the tankard was HUGE, far too big to be practical in any manner, though oddly enough Rayan held it with ease as though it were a cup. Emerald eyes gave her the look over once more. It was weird.. Talking to this lady felt good. Like, really good. Almost like that feeling when a familiar scent you haven’t smelled in years wafts to you.
But then she was caught staring, she caught herself a little too late. “–Er.. sorry! Dunno what’s come over me, to be honest! Didn’t mean to stare, Miss Lieke.”
She didn’t even question it -- though perhaps a white lie was in order. No matter what had happened, Rayan didn’t remember her. The idea sank her heart to her stomach. Left her in knots. Hopefully the banter would keep her afloat.
“A customer in earshot said it a while back. I overhead it -- sorry to catch you by surprise.” Humming and kicking heeled feet gently against the ground, Lieke caught herself staring as well -- though the look was one she hadn’t felt her face make in centuries. By the gods, she’d missed her ( even if this was a fluke at best ).
“A dragon, hm? And I’m an elf. A widow mourning the loss of her old spouse.” She’d smile -- trying her best to laugh on the topic despite her truth. She hadn’t mourned in the last century or two. Things were starting to heal. That is, until today.
The staring was noted from beneath lashes that fell on her fruity drink. Fingers tapped at the glass as she waved a hand. “No worries, dearest.” There it was. The heartache all over again. It came so naturally that she couldn’t stop herself. “--And you can drop the Miss. No need to be so formal. Merely out for a drink.”
