Overlord and the pup
Continuation
...Great.
[She...knows how to be ladylike. She's not a natural at it and its hard to bite her own tongue and not pick a fight. Its how she got sent to Leona in the first place in a way.]
I'll try...

I'm depending on you, pup.
[Enjoy that added pressure.]
We'll head to the inn first and get you situated. Seth, as for you, I want you to cozy up to the village women to get the gossip from them.

[Moroha makes a face.]
It won't matter if I'm seen with you guys?
[Seth's ears perk and then fall a bit. He rubs the back of his neck]
I will do my best....um, what will you be doing, Leona?

It ain't like anyone's going to realize I'm there.
[Just saying.
He glances over at Seth.]
Investigating the ports.

[He nods.]
I feel like the mouse or Kaeya would be the most suited for a lot of this but we won't let you down, Leona.
[Moroha raises a brow at the cat but sits back as they get closer to the docks]

[Moroha raises a brow at the cat but sits back as they get closer to the docks]
I've got the mouse on a different duty and Kamui is being scolded by his bird friend right now.
[And Leona doesn't want to touch that with a ten foot pole.
Once the docks are in sight, Leona parks the car to the side, using magic to veil their presence.]

Gotcha
[Sorin does try to keep Kamui out of trouble....
Seth and Moroha get out once the car parks. She blinks and looks around, taking it all in. She's seeing so many different places since saying at Leona's. It seems like a quiet place so far.
Seth's ears are perked as he looks around curiously]]

[Leona steps out of the car and in one smooth motion, his appearance changes.]
We'll go to the inn first and then split up from there. The old hag should be expecting us.
[With that, he leads them into the village.]

[Moroha does stop and stare at him....but she slowly follows after he gets a bit more ahead. Its...so jarring how he can do that. But she follows quickly!
Seth nods and walks with him casually. He looks around the village as they cut through it]
Doesn't seem that big or unfriendly

That's how it always looks on the outside.
[He keeps his face neutral as he leads them further in.]

[They follow close behind him though Moroha is looking around a bit more, shes just a bit slower but the inn is coming into view.
Seth perks at it]
Its a nice inn. Though....I feel like we're getting into an almost red-light district...?

Its a nice inn. Though....I feel like we're getting into an almost red-light district...?
That's precisely what it is.
[They arrive at a rather...large inn. Embellished in gold and lights and everything. Clearly, it stands out compared to the other buildings.
Leona waits for Moroha before pushing the pup in.]
Oi, old hag!
How dare you call me an old hag, you pup!?
[An elderly woman walks over to them, looking vaguely annoyed. Though she blinks upon seeing Seth and Moroha.]
Oh my, hello dearies!

[Moroha blinks getting pushed. She squints back at him though the older woman does grab her attention. She tilts her head at her.
Seth also frowns at Leona's words. Be more respectful... though he doesn't say it. He smiles to her and bows his head a bit]
Hello. Its nice to meet you.
Uh, yeah. Hello.
[Moroha gives a wave]

[Moroha gives a wave]
This is Lady Hanako. She's the innkeeper of this place.
[Leona sighs, moving his head back just as the old lady attempts to hit him with a fan.
Hanako scoffs.]
I haven't seen you for months and this is how you repay me? Where's that sweet man who whisked me off my feet decades ago?
You're imagining things.
[Leona tuts before he does push Moroha more towards Hanako.]
This is the quarter demon I told you about.
[Hanako blinks, turning a calculating eye on Moroha. She gently grabs her chin to turn her head from side to side to get a better look at her.]
My, what fair skin. Untouched, too. I'm surprised a fair maiden like you has been able to remain untouched by this lion's claws. [Pulling back, the old woman nods.] I can transform this girl into a thing of beauty in no time. But, are you sure you want to do this, girl? Quarter-demon or not, it can still become dangerous for you.

[She grunts and pulls back too, rubbing her face. Geez..]
I'm one of the strongest around. You don't gotta worry about me.
[She gives a grin. Though she's not sure about the whole dress up part. There is a brief glance to Leona before she looks back to the granny with her hands on her hips]

Hm, you got spunk. I like it.
[Hanako nods, looking to the men.]
Leave her to me. There will be some of those men coming by tonight for a special performance held at the inn, so you can come an hour before then. I'll have her ready.
I'm leaving her in your hands then, old hag.
[Leona looks over at Moroha.]
Just follow her directions and you'll be good, pup.

If you say so...
[Leona hasnt done her wrong yet so she gives a slow nod. She looks to the old woman giving a thumbs up]
Let's get this over with. I'm trustin' ya.
[Seth waves]
Good luck Moroha. You'll be fine.

We'll be back later.
[With that, Hanako...practically whisks Moroha away into one of the back rooms.
Leona blinks slowly before leading Seth out. He suddenly feels for the pup.]

[Moroha blinks! Whoaa!
Seth follows after him]
You must really trust that woman to leave Moroha alone with her..

I’ve known her since she was a young woman.
[Leona keeps his gaze ahead.]
We go way back.
[Leona keeps his gaze ahead.]
We go way back.
Good to see her again, then?
[Seth smiles to him.]
Anywhere you want to start or are we holding off until tonight.
[Seth smiles to him.]
Anywhere you want to start or are we holding off until tonight.
Go start making nice with the village women. We’ll meet again at the inn in two hours.
Alright...
[His ears fall just a bit but he nods]
You be safe too Leona.
[He nudges him lightly before heading over to the first group he sees. He smiles, seeming polite and warm]

[Leona watches Seth for a bit, ear twitching. Seth is...probably a little too nice for this kind of job.
Holding back a sigh, he walks off to the side before he glances over at a flower. One...that has no reason to be blooming here.]
Kao.

[It's just a flower Leona~ just observing what is going on and such. Kao is a big fish, why would he lurk around--- well the lion is certainly of interest~
But the flower is unmoving~]
