Beware the Tiefling

[tailforbrains]

WHO| Neeshka and OPEN
WHAT| A very angry little demon-child
WHEN| Morning on the second day of Arena 05, after she's been revived and released
WHERE| Stalking the streets
WARNING/NOTES| As the title says. Beware the tiefling and her angry-words.



Neeshka is not a happy camper. She didn't even last a whole day. Not a whole day! Some-- some bitch just came up behind her and mocked her, not even to her face, and as she was trying to turn around, bam. That was it. She hadn't even had a chance to see who her attacker was!

Oh, she knows now. She's seen the instant replays. And next time she sees that blue bitch, someone is getting cut. Or something. Neeshka is better than that, and she knows it, and that just makes her more angry. So instead of sitting and stewing in her rooms, she's walking and stewing, and for once not paying attention to the shop windows or the pockets of people around her. She's just walking, shoulders hunched, hands in her pockets, toes kicking at the snow, and tail lashing about.

Approach at your own risk. She's not likely to be very nice, if you mention her horrible, embarrassing death....

"You say that now," she trailed off, shrugging. By this point, she was almost leaning towards just teasing Neeshka, now that it showed; Ariadne was just as deadpan as she had been before.

And Neeshka was really, ridiculously easy to tease, too. She glared, looking somewhere between defensive and hurt. "I'm not allowed one day to just be pissed that some bitch snuck up behind me and made fun of me before I died? It's not like most people in this stupid city work all that hard."

"Some of them do. She might've been one of them." Or she might have been previously trained with a lucky break. Or she might have just been a royal bitch. There were plenty of options, really; Ariadne couldn't exactly say which one it might have been without going back and watching the tape.

"Oh, come on, she was brand new!" Neeshka knew that much. "So wherever she's from, maybe they just grow them mean and sneaky." Maybe she was just jealous that she wasn't that mean and sneaky. If she'd been the one mocking someone behind their back and snapping their neck (yeah, right, she wasn't strong enough to do something like that) maybe it'd be different.

But she wasn't, she was the idiot it happened to, that was all.

"I've heard they do that in a few of the Districts. It's possible," Ariadne confirmed with a mild shrug. The Arenas did strange things to people sometimes anyway.

"Hells." Neeshka huffed out a sigh. "Well, fine, I'll practice more-- tomorrow. Today I am going to enjoy having a reason to be grumpy." So there. She almost stuck her tongue out at Ariadne, but decided at the last minute it would look childish, so she merely nodded firmly instead and crossed her arms. Which didn't really look much less childish than the tongue would have.

Everyone was allowed their moments, she thought. Tipping her head to one side, Ariadne gaze Neeshka another brief once-over.

"I'll let you get back to it, then."

[tailforbrains]

"Thanks so much." Neeshka was feeling a little better about life, anyway, so she folded her arm across her middle and executed a semi-accurate courtly bow to Ariadne. She straightened up with a lop-sided grin. "See you around, I guess."

The bow amused her, if nothing else; she merely cracked a quiet little smile, shaking her head imperceptibly to herself as she proceeded back on her way.
