“Perhaps they find your singing most unfavorable?” Kalika and her human disguise smiled, a charmingly innocent look that had no place on the monster in front of the Puppeteer. She could tell he was drunk, or at least close to being what humans called smashed. Or was it hammered. She could never keep those little phrases straight, they were constantly changing. Her mind wondered as she took another swig straight from the bottle, digits wrapped against the neck as if it were a life line. She couldn’t get drunk, not on silly human drinks… only one mortal fare had come close and she wasn’t about to ask for it.
Kalika didn’t want to lose her caution, especially when the Puppeteer began to chatter. Like the incessant chirp of a bird he kept on and on when all the Unseelie wanted was fun. The man even sidled across the line of decency and mentioned that she wasn’t as she appeared. Glass created an eerie groan in her grasp, each second it threatened to break as she watched the Puppeteer. Her body was coiled like a serpent, ready to strike at the faintest sign of an opening. She would find one as the man rocked forward within arms reach. In one fluid motion the Unseelie was standing, arm snapping forward to curl her fingers around his shirt. She had every intention on pulling him closer, though if he was out of it enough to grab or not, it wouldn’t stop her from leaning closer. Her voice was a lovely little whisper, too soft and kind for the threat that parted her lips, “Watch your tongue my dear Puppeteer, else I might just have to free it from your head.”
Human disguise grinned, a charmingly innocent look that drew the attention of drunken patrons. To them, she was a fragile little female in a group of rowdy and rambunctious males. Alcohol flooded their veins and clouded their judgment; this was supposed to be her night of fun. Not a night of trying to quiet a drunken monster as he spilt her secret for her. She moved from their table, downing the rest of the unknown liquid in her bottle before turning away. Kalika moved through the throws of people, her interest in the bar before she would consider the outside world.
Another charming smile and a few spare coins passed from Kalika to the bartender before she was granted a bottle. Alcohol once more lighting her fire to a dull thundering roar though all it did was leave her aching for more. More to drink, the right set of emotions, and perhaps the warmth of blood across her skin. Curse the mortal isle with its collection of fragile humans and untouchable students. What the Unseelie wouldn’t give to cause a little chaos.
