Taking the rum she had ordered with a nod of thanks, Adeya finally starts to relax a bit. As such, when the door opened again she glanced over, half-interested to see who had just come in… and practically froze for a few seconds in disbelief. Unless she was very, very much mistaken, she knew that face. Quickly, and hopefully before the newcomer noticed her staring, she turned back to her drink and then took a moment to think. There was no way that could possibly be who she thought it was, right?
Letting out a long breath, she turned back to glance at the newcomer, just to make sure that she was right. As she did so she noticed that the other woman was staring at her as well and, if the look on her face was any indication, she had also recognized her as well. Well… that answers that question, Adeya thought to herself, and sighed softly.
“Shite,†she hissed under her breath, before setting her glass down and standing to face the smirking Highlander. There would clearly be no avoiding this now.
“Hello Naois,†she said, giving the other woman a smile so cold that it could give a Coerthas winter a run for its money. “I didn’t know you were back in town.†Under other circumstances the remark might have been a friendly one; however, any chance of that was undercut by the fact that one of her hands had drifted over to hover by her spellbook. However, she hadn't opened it just yet.
Instead, raising her voice slightly, she continues speaking. “So what have you been up to lately?†she asks, though in a tone that suggests that she already knows the answer. “Smuggling? Raiding?†Her eyes narrowed with each word, as if it were becoming harder for her to hide her evident dislike for the pirate. “Killing, I think, is a given,†she finally finishes, her voice practically dripping with sarcasm. All traces of the earlier smile had vanished by now, to be replaced by an outright scowl. Her eyes were fixed on Naois’ as she watched for even the slightest hint of movement. She wasn’t quite sure how Naois would react to all of this, but by the seven hells she wasn’t about to just give her an easy opening.
