Sleepy Fox Hollow The way she goes, Bubs

His scent was vaguely recognizable- having been mingled into her brother's scent when she had seen him last. But unlike Eti, his expression was dour and he approached with such hostility in his gaze that she was distracted from the twinge in her gut. He looked to be roughly the same age, though with the mien of a cantankerous senior citizen parked too long in their wheelchair. 

To his snide question she replied instantly with a sweet smile and a batting of her eyelashes. "Well, I called for Etienne, did I not?" She intended to obscure the line between innocence and condescension; her tone was on point. 

She showed no offense when he expressed his disgust, though she did not appreciate that it was directed at her, rather than the slightly-off seafood. "You be not from de coast, so I forgive you- it is a delicacy but...Requires a more refined palate," A small dagger came unsheathed; a glint of a tooth as she grinned, only to be concealed by softened lips a moment later. She lowered her gaze to his feet, and allowed them to drift slowly back up to his face. 

"You must be de one my brot'er was 'ealing, hmm?" She said. True, he was only in debt to Etienne, but a debt owed to Etienne was also a debt easily netted by the women of Sapphique who had to pine for their distant son and brother. "Seems 'e done a good job." Though she felt it was a pity that there was no cure for his poor attitude.
