A fox, a girl, and a bar. (Meili)

[Malachite the Shoki]

So far, Naboo was interesting. I hadn't been shot at (yet), hadn't had anybody gape at my tail too much (yet), and hadn't had to throw large chunks of flaming rock at anybody (yet). But I needed a drink, and apparently, there was only one place in Theed to go for a really great drink: The Gold Wolf.

The name appealed to my ego, and the drinks smelt strong to me, even from a couple blocks away. I stepped into the pub, waving my tail playfully at all the pretty waitresses, and sat down at the bar. The bartender looked like the kind of guy who enjoyed his wares almost as much as he sold them, and his cheerful demeanor made me smile.

"Sake, please. Maybe with some Whyren's in it, too."

"Hehe! I'm looking so good today!" She shouted out loud spinning in her dress as she walked down to one of her favorite naboo taverns. She tried to enter there were several men in her way and others that walked right passed her. She disliked people who rammed past her into the tavern with no "excuse me" or giving her some sort of attention. So she grabbed one of the men blocking the way and threw him several feet the to the side into other people.

Seeing the stunned look on the men who had been knocking the doors, she slipped in but hearing them follow, Meili paused. "Hey there pr-" A man called out but was cut off instant with a blow to the face. She shook her head and the male's companions quick took away as she continued quietly into the tavern. She quietly took a seat at the bar with a smile on her face while the bartender looked at her slack jawed and shook his head. "You need to stop knocking out everyone that ticks you off. She with a quick little giggle she ordered the heaviest and biggest drink they had, and took one large gulp. "I do what I want!" She shouted loudly after a releasing a refreshing "ahh" from her chilled drink.

Glancing to the table next to her, she saw a man with ears and tail, ordering a drink. She shook her head. She was a self made super soldier with amazing abilities one of them being strength stronger than even a wookie. She was genius that made her own serum for said abilities. She wasn't going to give in. She couldn't, she wouldn't, she did! She ran over and pounce the man, thinking him more animal than man. "Aww, the little fox....Dog thing.....So cute!"

This was impossible... I couldn't have had a pretty girl hanging onto my neck only a couple minutes after I came into the bar. Normally that took the girl in question an hour or two of drinking, and a distinct layer of charm and flattery on my part. But here was this girl, clinging to me with the strength of a Wookiee, and calling me a 'doggy', while the bartender was quite obviously trying not to laugh his ass off.

I spun in my chair to look at the girl, and I grinned and twitched my tail at her.

"Hi, there. Usually girls aren't so happy to see me. And I'm not so 'little' as you say. Seven feet of blonde fur and muscle doesn't bring the word 'little' to mind."

Mentally coming to a conclusion that I liked, and that allowed me to relieve my neck, I slid the girl into the seat next to me, and my grin resolved into a crooked sort of thing on my face.

"So, you want a drink?"

[member="Meili Shaw"]

 

[Meili Shaw]

"Seven and muscle, couldn't tell, y'know from you being bigger than me and all."

She retorted mockingly to the fox man as he slid her to the seat next to him. Even thought she was joking with him, she was surprised at the fact that he could talk despite his looks. Good for him. She lightly tapped her nose lightly with her index finger looking at the man up and down. He was so...So...Adorable. All she wanted to do at this point was dress him up in little outfits. She giggled at the thought of doing so to him, she had always wanted a pet and having a giant fox thing would rather be enjoyable. Out of curiosity she could help but mess with one of his ears as he spoke to her.

"Hmm? A drink? Was that a question? We are a tavern you know! We come to drink. Well some come to fight for no reason.....But drinking is the main reason right?"

She asked with a quick giggle. Honestly how could anyone turn down a free drink or two. With her abilities and the serum she made and injected into herself she really couldn't get drunk or drugged. Her body burned it out too quickly for it too really take affect unless she consumed an absurd amount which meant spending a stupid amount of credits to do so. So in turn taking free drinks from strangers would help lighten the loud and she would be safe as it would take ALOT of whatever to get her drugged.

I let the girl scratch my ear because... Well, it felt good. I gestured to the barman to get another of the same order. Not that sake would be able to do anything to me. Or Whyren's, for that matter. And definitely not the combination of both. But, what the hell, I wanted a drink. And there was a pretty girl scratching my ear. I wasn't about to complain. I turned to the girl, and smiled.

"Judging from your reaction, you've never seen a Ruferalahuín before. Not too surprising, really."

I grinned, and took my drink from the barman. I took a deep draught of it, and it tasted pretty good.

"And drinking is usually my reason for going anywhere. Bars, restaurants, parties, wherever. Never hurts to drink a little bit."

Or it never hurt me. If I wanted to, I could burn the alcohol out of my bloodstream by raising my body temperature. Sure, it hurt a little, but it left me sober, I guess.

"Hmmm...."

She said her tone changing from her usual bubbly self to a more intrigued and serious. Thought she wasn't going to lie to herself, she had a weakness for furry animals, sentient or otherwise. But From the time that she was touching and looking at him, she was also analyzing him. She was pondering what he was and when he told her, in truth, she really didn't know his species. And she liked to think she knew everything. Her curiosity was peaked, the man was much smarter than most animal thought that in truth was no real compliment.

He knew his surroundings, he knew how to speak galactic basic and it seemed he had the brain span of a young human adult. After giving him a hug, it was obvious that his body heat was high than the average sentient being, which made him quite cuddly. But aside from that just how far did that extra heat span, really? Also he was quite tall like most beastial types and of course he was larger framed, so just how strong was he? He did a rare thing and that was peak her interest. Which was both a good and bad thing.

"No, I've never seen your species before. You kind seems like a lovely sort and your a drinker eh? Just how much can you drink, Mr. Fox....Err....What's your name?"

She said in her usual bubbly tone.

[member="Malachite Avachei"]

 

[Malachite the Shoki]

"Name's Malachite Avachei. Call me Mal."

I looked at the pretty girl, who was certainly more than she seemed. She had obviously been analyzing me, and I her. She looked small, but her grip was as strong as mine. Her method of entrance also belied a great amount of strength. Basically, this girl was every bit my physical equal. She was still staring at me, though, and I grinned at her.

"I see you, y'know. If you want something, just ask... What's your name?"

[member="Meili Shaw"]

 

[Meili Shaw]

"Hmm.....[member="Malachite Avachei"]......Err.....Mal....."

She said with a smile on her face. She place a hand on his cheek then a finger on her ear sliding it down to his jaw to his chin. She guiding his grinning face close to her own, her smile turning into a small grin. She let out a small giggle before whispering into his ear.

"You can call me Shaw. And I...Well...Want another drink now. Let's see if you can keep up with me."

 

[Malachite the Shoki]

"Shaw, huh? You want more sake?"

The girl was brushing my face, which I definitely didn't find objectionable. I couldn't tell if her interest was that of a child looking at a cute pet, or if it was interest in my handsome appearance, or if it was simply curiosity. Maybe (hopefully, in my mind) a mix of the three. She named herself as Shaw, but that was probably her last name or something. I picked up my glass, and nodded at her.

"I believe you will see just how much I can drink, Miss Shaw."

[member='Meili Shaw']

 

[Meili Shaw]

"Sake....It's so bitter though! Well, if it's your choice of drink than sure!"

She said happily with a giggle.

"Hey bartender! 30 orders of sake bomb! Hurry them up!"

She called with to the bartender, in response the bartender shook his head with a smile.

"I believe I will. Mr.[member="Malachite Avachei"]"

She said with a smile.

 

[Malachite the Shoki]

"Thirty, huh? This is going to be fun."

I grinned, showing the points of my fang-like canines, and a few stray sparks flitted across my hand. Sure, I was just showing off, but what was the point, besides drinking, of sitting in a bar with a pretty girl, if you didn't show off a bit? I grabbed my first sake, which was a little bit cooler than I usually liked it, and heated my hand up around the cup to set it to almost boiling temperature.

"Well, m'lady Shaw, it'd be rude not to drink, now."

[member="Meili Shaw"]

 

[Meili Shaw]

"Oh my...."

She watched closely as he revealed another one of his abilities. Clearing showing off one of his possibly many abilities, was this due to his blood? Could he heat thing up from his core DNA build up or was it like the fire shapers of Kro Var and he was merely in tuned with the force? If so, was it a natural ability or was he trained by a jedi of some sort? Could he do more than just heat things up? Could he send fireballs or even more? This man before her peaked her interest even more now. Regardless whether or not he like it now, he was now hers, her pet. She petted the back of his head down to his neck, a smile on her face. With that same hand she took the heated cup from his hand and dropped it into the secondary drink.

"Ladies first."

She said with a coo in her voice and quieter giggle and slammed the drink like it was nothing.

 

[Malachite the Shoki]

I shuddered slightly as the nerves along my head and neck sent happy little nervous responses to my brain. This girl was either going to kill me, or make me melt into a puddle... I watched as she downed the whole drink in a couple seconds, and I smirked, impressed.

"Ladies first, indeed."

I heated another bomb, and dropped it into my drink. It tasted really good. What kind of sake was this?

"I'm not complaining that there's a pretty girl stroking the back of my head, but is there a specific reason you are?"

[member="Meili Shaw"]

 

[Meili Shaw]

Due to her hyper-kinetic abilities her senses were heighten even her sense of touch. She could feel the goosebumps caused by the nervousness or excitement and whether he felt it or not he was little more heated than before. After doing another sake bomb, she looked at him when he asked her as too why she was so touchy. She giggled, the main reason she liked cute furry animals was the answer. Then she looked around as she saw the other men who have admired her from some time show their jealousy. This was bad but she really couldn't resist at this point, it'll be fun to mess with everyone here and it'll test his skills. She leaned against him shoulder to shoulder and leaned up her mouth near his ear, her breath lightly brushing on to his ear. "You're mine now." She said almost seductively, then nipped his earlobe. The drunken men instantly stood up and rushed over to him

"Hey the beast! She's my girl,"

"No mine!"

"No mine!"

The swarm of men called and all challenge the larger blonde man. As they did she merely giggled and took leaned back and took another sake bomb waiting to watch the show.

[member="Malachite Avachei"]

 

[Malachite the Shoki]

I winked at the girl who'd now bitten my earlobe, and was betting her eyes at me as she drank another sake bomb.

"I could deal with being yours. Gotta deal with this lot, though."

I didn't even stand up for the first guy. He grabbed me by the lapels of my jacket, and then jumped back as his hands were scorched by my fire. I flipped him the finger, and sent him flying into a booth with the Force. He groaned, and just leaned back against the seat. The nest man was a real fighter, and actually ignored the burns on his hands, so that he could punch me. After the second or third hit, I returned his blows, with a punch that knocked him down onto his ass on the floor. One of the other men dragged him away from me, and I glared at the third, and biggest man who'd come up. He was about my height, with silver scales all over him.

He ran up, and I didn't let him anywhere near me. A spark flew from my hand, and exploded in his face, leaving a big black scorch mark, and blinding him. I laughed, and turned back to the girl.

"How did you like that, miss Shaw? Did it excite you?"

[member="Meili Shaw"]

 

[Meili Shaw]

The bartender looked at her while the blonde beast had a hey day with the jealous drunkard. He merely gave her a look and shook his head mouthing to her, "You're bad." The man chuckled and continued to clean the bar. She giggled as she gave the bartender a playful wink and looked back to Malachite brawl with the man and reveal that he was intuned with the force. Interesting, she was amazed that a jedi hasn't recruit or was he a sith? A rogue? She didn't know but she got her answer about the force. He showed he could take a hit and was agile enough despite his large frame and height. She had great taste so it seemed, he was going to be a fabulous pet after all. She took another sake bomb as he took a seat next to her.

"It was a fun little watch but.....It didn't excite me."

She said with a with a shake of her head.

"Takes more than that, lover boy. Now drink."

[member="Malachite Avachei"]

 

[Malachite the Shoki]

I picked up another sake bomb, and laughed.

"Like you had to tell me to drink."

I downed the bomb, and picked up another. Was the alcohol getting to me? Yes. Was the pretty girl getting to me even more? Yes. So, more bombs for me.

"So, miss Shaw, what's your actual name? I know that's not it."

[member="Meili Shaw"]

 

[Meili Shaw]

She down the sake bombs as fast as he did and chuckled quite a with how compliant he was. She raised her hand and ordered more round with how fast they were blowing through these.

"A question to be answered by another. Why really want know my name?"

She said downing and other three drinks.

[member="Malachite Avachei"]

 

[Malachite the Shoki]

"Is that weird? To ask somebody their first name? Referring to you as miss Shaw is just the tiniest bit annoying."

I smirked at the new rounds of sake, and drank four more within a minute or two of them arriving. Now I was suddenly hungry... Why was I hungry? I didn't know. But I sneezed, and my nose caught fire. Great.

[member="Meili Shaw"]

 

[Meili Shaw]

"For me yes. Oh? Am I, through my mannerism, annoying you now, Mal?"

She asked with a raise of her eyes and a tap on the table with her index finger after taking another four shots with the large fox man. And the moment he sneezed fire, her reflexes kicked in and smacked his face in order to keep the fire from burning anything on her or the drinks. As he would learn, she really didn't like any type of surprises such as that. But still that was another thing she learned about his abilities, they were second nature to him and thus it was almost, in a sense and to an extent, uncontrolled natural reaction much like her own reflexes.
