Aya nodded energetically, grinning, "I don't think I'd buy flowers from someone named, 'Crooked', anyway! We'll have to try one of the flower carts! After, we visit Tarot's shop that is!"
"So... is this what Miss Aya does on her time off? I confess I rarely see you out and around the city. Not that I myself do the same."
Aya leaned back a bit, settling onto the couch in response to the question, as if stopping to think for a moment. Her smile softened, "Mhmmm, sometimes. If you came out here more often you might see more of me!" She looked to Coatleque with a momentary grin, "You might even get to spend more time having fun with me!" She looked back out the window, at the world moving by without them. "Its nice to get out in the daylight before work--I like to enjoy the city's energy, and I can take care of some errands for Madam Momodi while I do. Plus I can get a little shopping and relaxation in!"
She paused for just a moment, lifting her tea for a sip, but as she lowered it back down to the saucer she continued, "I take time to stay in shape too, you know." she glanced back to Coatleque, with a little, slightly bashful smile. Of course a Sultan Sworn would know what it really meant to keep in shape: practice, drill, and more practice to keep in form, a matter of potential life and death. A barmaid had few such rigors to her occupation, but she still had a figure of her own to work to maintain.
She continued to look out the window, her smile growing brighter. "I just love to dance..." she stated matter-of-factually, as if revealing a well-known secret. "That's what I really try to do, every day I have the chance."
