With her mouth open to protest, Zhi realized that, in truth, she'd been played. "Shit," she said, casually, and rose. She kicked a piece of fallen debris at Melodia, and stalked over to the counter.

Sure, she'd get knocked about for ruining her sense of smell, but right then she didn't care.
She spoke as she packed the bowl. "If yer here 'bout Skrit, that's old news." Old as in two days ago, when she'd been sent to deliver two packages. One had smelt of flesh and old blood. She hadn't stuck around after leaving it, but a few things had shifted in lowtown the day after.
"An' me debts been settled, me honeypot, so if yer here 'bout me boss, I'm busy. Ye can have a meetin' t'morrow."
She exhaled a cloud of sweet, spicy smoke.
