[PS] Undrafted Meeting Grounds

[Nori]

She nodded to the Konat; accepting his offer with little hesitation. Removing herself from the seat she walked behind the swordsman until they reached the bar, where she pondered on what to get to drink. Finally deciding she whispered in Tapion?s ear shyly, so as to not draw attention to herself from the other members of the tournament.

?Some hot water, please.? Tapion was slightly disengaged by the comment; as he had expected a real beverage to be ordered if not some kind of alcoholic brew. He himself ordered a cold ale and in moments both were delivered, Akane?s in a bamboo glass while Tapion?s was in a wooden mug. Taking the glass she looked at a Saiyan sitting at the bar, who was staring at her.

Putting her hands into her right weighted boot she withdrew a small leathery sack in one fluid motion, opening it to withdraw a pinch of the contents and drop them into her boiling water. After a few moments the water began to turn a light green, the herbs and other minerals dissolving into the boiling water. Turning to face the Konat as he drank his elixir she spoke to him. ?That is a nice sword you have. I have never seen one like it. Is it just for show??

She knew it was a stupid question but she felt inclined to ask question for future reference, not knowing if the sword was just in place for the ?Tough guy don?t mess with me, look?. Turning around as she took a sip of her now brewed beverage she found that the Saiyan was staring at her abdomen, but he quickly looked away. Setting her drink gently on the surface of the bar, she preceded to walk towards the Saiyan talking to him gently as she drew near.

?Is there a reason you are staring at my butt?? The bald saiyan blushed, only to quickly and angrily speak back at her. ?I wasn?t staring at you, human!? He spat, and rolling her eyes Akane turned around to walk away. Moving her buttocks more then necessary as she walked away the golden youth walked back to the swordsman, almost collapsing in giggles.

?Did you see his face when I accused him of that? He almost leaped at me! You know. I think he may have been checking me out.? Pointing discreetly to where Nappa was sitting she showed the Konat who she was talking about, and he couldn?t help but smile. The man was certainly a large muscled fellow. Ordering another round of drinks he brought himself back to the conversation that had occurred before they had preceded to talk about Nappa.

?This sword isn?t for show, lass. Its deadly efficient.? He didn?t say this to gloat however, more as if he was just stating a fact. Akane couldn?t help but have a deeper respect for the man now, having learned that he was a skilled fighter.
