Once upon a time in a Bar

[Kajeela Tarruurri]

"Make jit a doub...no trrrrjiple thjisss tjime"

Kajeela drew cirlces with her claw in the melting pool of what was an ice chip disolving on the bar as she waited her drink.

It had been a long day..and she wanted to drown some of it away as fast as possible.

Slaming her hand on the countertop, "Hurrrry up!"

She swivelled on her seat and eyed the crowded bar.

[Taataani Meorrrei]

(Taa exited the ladies room, brushing back her hair and adjusting her glasses as she went. She hummed some popular Cizerack tune to herself as she approached the bar, tail swaying. Finding herself thirsty, she found the next empty barstool, flagging down the bartender noisily)

Barrrtenderrr! jI need ssserrrvjice.

(She glanced to her left...and did a double take)

jYou!

[Kajeela Tarruurri]

Kajeela rubbed a hand over he face as if in doing so would clear away the vision of Taataani from before her eyes....Nope..she was still there and inches from her face.

The Directors drink arrived and she promptly ordered the same again to be brought. She was not up for this woman right now.

"Taataanji.....how njice to ssssee jyou."

Her tone was unenthusiastic and she hoped the raucous woman would take the hint.

Lifting her triple shot Marsheena Martini, Kajeela guzzled it thirstily.

[Taataani Meorrrei]

(Taa's eyes flashed, and she shrilled above the racket of the noisy bar, drawing looks from several around her)

jYou....AUDjITED me lassst month!!!

(She pushed her glasses up on her anger-scrunched nose, her teeth bared in a gritting face)

jI wasss up forrr thrrree dajysss ssstrrrajight whjile jyourrr thugsss rrrummaged thrrrough mjy rrrecorrrdsss!

[Kajeela Tarruurri]

"Jusssst thrrree dajysss?? Mjy offjicerrrs arrre gettjing sssoft."

Kajeela's tail waved in the air agitatedly.....gah this woman was a nuiscance..

"jYou arrre luckjy not to be rrrrottjing in a KAR jajil rrrjight now!"

The Director raised herself tall in her chair, her air menacing and her scent giving of a decidedly authoritive aroma.

"Dont push jyourrr luck wjith me tonjight old woman..."

[Taataani Meorrrei]

(Taa was raring to cut loose a flurry of insults, but held her tongue. Kajeela had too much rampant power. Taa simmered, growling and pushing her glasses up on her nose)

jI've done nothjing wrrrong. Everrr!

(She grumbled under her breath as she took her drink)

jIt'sss Sssasssssseerrrrrrji jyou'rrre afterrr...

[Kajeela Tarruurri]

Kajeela was about to dismiss Taataani and her rantings and get up from the barstool to head for a quieter booth, when the womans last comment arrested her attention and suddenly she didnt feel as pressed to go.

Her tail dropped slightly and ceased is annoyed wavering.

Like a bloodhound on a scent, the Director zeroed in on Taa and gazed directly into her bespecled blue eyes.

"What djid jyou sssay...?"

[Taataani Meorrrei]

The obvjioussss...

(Taa gulped down her caleela moonrise, wiping her lips with a sleeve)

...jI am not ssstupjid, and jI know mjy sssjisssterrr doesss not make frrrjiendsss wjith the Prrrjide.

[Kajeela Tarruurri]

Kajeela shrugged non-comittally.

"Trrrue....but whjy would ssshe be of ssspecjial jinterrressst to the Keji; Aji Reeji?"

The Director's eyes narrowed shrewdly, watching for any sign Taataani knew more than she was letting on..
