{Melisa}
Melisa took another sip of whatever cheap liquor Vira had procured, letting the burn distract her from the absolute clusterfuck this evening was becoming. The door to the back room hung slightly open, fragments of conversation drifting out between Vira's increasingly handsy attempts at seduction.
[Info first, sex later,] she reminded herself as Vira's fingers traced patterns on her thigh. [You're here to investigate arson and murder, not get laid. Well, not yet.]
"... can't wait forever..." Koros's voice carried through the gap. "... humans need to learn..."
[Yeah, I bet you've got lots to teach us about burning people alive, you fuck.]
But, despite the simmering rage, she kept her expression interested, engaged, and focused entirely on Vira even as she strained to hear more. The woman's hands were getting progressively more adventurous, clearly ready to repeat some of their previous... encounters.
