Melodia stared at the woman across from her, a well-dressed, sexy Miqo'te woman, darker complexion than hers, and wore fine jewelry. A hint of an accent touched her lips as she spoke and Melodia nodded as she reclined in her chair, listening to the woman discuss her problems. Melodia tried to respond, but her words were false, ad libbed a she attempted to address the woman. Her name was simply Crystal. As the woman listened, taking a sip of wine, she smirked.
"You don't have the foggiest clue to how to help me do you?"
Melodia frowned, as she tried to gain some semblance that she knew what to say. "It's not....no...what I mean is, I just think you should try and talk to her."
Crystal spoke again, the smile still on her lips as she reclined back, the fine dress she wore indicative that she had money. "Hush....let's not waste time. I thought you were a therapist, but in the end you are simply a talker....or to some...a bullshitter." Her accent hit thickly at the last words and she set her wine glass on the table. "So tell me, good talker...I'm certain you charge for your time. And yet you've wasted mine. I should be charging you." She smirked folding her hands in her lap.
Melodia blushed. She'd not been called out before but she was no professional. She wasn't sure how to reply and wished so badly Alara was with her then. "I...I could offer you...something else.." She blushed harder and the woman laughed softly.
"You mean sex. I get plenty on my own without you making the offer, though I appreciate the courtesy." She stood and sighed. "How about we call this a wash and move on. Besides...you'll make the money back with the women you sleep with tonight, I'm sure."
Melodia blushed and started to shake her head in protest. "But I don-"
"Stop lying, hon. I've seen you about...seen you slink away with someone here and there. Others have too. Though up close you are rather attractive so I can see why." Melodia looked down and whispered, "I don't get paid."
Crystal paused as she was putting on her coat. "Excuse me?"
Melodia looked back up, this entire session a disaster and she said again a bit louder. "I don't charge for the sex..."
Crystal scoffed and shook her head with narrowed eyes. "You should be. Your little freebies hurt the rest of us that, though I'm sure the ones you cavort with aren't of the higher class I'm used to." Melodia looked baffled and tilted her head. "I don't follow. What d' ye mean?"
The woman shook her head and pulled out a business card, laying it on the table. "Come see me sometime. No freebie....but you'll get what you're looking for and maybe a bit of class as well." Turning to head out she paused at the door and looked back. "No more freebies, Melodia. And stop this....people that come to therapists have real issues....and they don't need you to fake it." She opened the door and headed out.
Melodia picked the card up and looked at it.

She looked at the contact information and then smiled softly. She'd heard of courtesans in Limsa but hadn't expressly met one.
Until now it seemed. And the woman's words hung heavy in her mind.
"No more freebies, Melodia."
"You don't have the foggiest clue to how to help me do you?"
