Figures she must've left, and sits and sips her coffee a little more.

"I dunno. I love coffee."

Shrugs to no one.

Nightlife
"Well I was trynna help you set up the nav-thing, and you were like 'I don't need Vikkie's car to cyber-nanny me'…" MILLIE attempted to growl her voice out a bit to mimic you just like you were about to mimic this Night Sister, utilizing her hands again to cybernetically enhance the Sass she was delivering her impression with. More orange sour spilled before she killed the rest of it in a poorly-decided gulp.

By god, this might be wearing out the lining of her throat in a completely different way than what the Sludge was doing to yours.

"I still don't trust, uh—oh shit we need to hit some of these other Southie joints sometime, Mike. Place called Tech Noir, another one called, like, The Drippy Damsel or something? Former is supposed to have android servers, that shit sounds cool…"

But she ended up trailing off, lost in utter confusion like she turned right when she was supposed to turn left. "The hell does that mean—'throwin' her voice'…"

It almost sounded like she was irritated over not even knowing that turn of phrase, and just transferred the frustration onto you. Nothing about you describing some hot blonde or anything.

Even the suggestion that somebody with a cloaking device could be out here, well… she looked around as though somehow she could just out-see it if she believed hard enough.

"Alright—nah I didn't have a job, but it's always good to know uh…" diversify what? "okay so I have to tell you something, okay? Like so I still have a back-channel access to the family chat, aaaand uuuuhh… Eddiesworth kinda blabbed and Vikkie, who's still outta town, is upset. And she doesn't want to invoke mom aggro but she might have enlisted some of the other Crests to kinda, sorta… kinda-sorta… kindasorta track us down."

She quickly interrupted herself though, like she could interrupt your anticipated interruption. "BUT! They have no leads whatsoever, ain't nobody around here know us, aaaaaaand this ain't a bounty it's a family thing so it's not like you're in mortal danger, okay?"

Port Kar
"Oh no, contrary, you have honored me by wanting to call me physician. I would love to be one one day, believe me it's been a long long road that I have traveled to get to this point. A lot of hard earned hours and travel and work and more work and more work." she smiled broadly then she did it again and covers her mouth and winces. A bit of a moan of pain as she dips her head and closes her eyes a moment to recenter her train of thought. After a moment of silence, she takes a sip of water and just slows down a little. Her eyes look back upon him so warm and so full of him, that how could he resist not to smile.

"Yes, I would need to go to Ar and approach the hall of physicians and fill out forms and present my field experience and ... " oh, she just realized something that causes her to face palm, that she needs to present her two children as evidence and the one she had was in the care of people that were not approachable. Her Physician status just became further out of her reach now then ever before. Leaning back, she would circle back to that terrible thought and then refocus a bit on the now, not the what could be scenario. " ya, just.. follow process." she omitted a bit there, but then it was details to her and nothing he would be over interested in.

"What I can do, is I will come to your work site, I will make up a hazard assessment and gauge the what "if's" and make sure your medical stations are properly and fully stocked, and attempt to do an site orientation for myself and to make introduction to your workers so they can recognize me at a distance, to know my name and to know where to find me. Yes, time is important when emergency medicine is required and I want to give you a sense of well being and security in the knowledge that you have a capable, qualified medical provider that can give all the things you desire." The choice of her last words were holding a little hidden meaning that she wasn't sure he would pick up. Ladies like her had to be careful with their choice of words, or unfortunate things might happen on a more personal level. Was a hidden inuendo. Taken in two contexts. The glass was raised a little and another sip taken. Then she lowered it down and said... "Money ... it does put food on our table and clothing upon her backs, what did you feel would be appropriate? "

The Archive, basement

The woman stood in the centre of the room with her hands on her hips. Doll-tiny, her perfectly tailored outfit was Parisienne a la mode, and as inappropriate as it was impeccable for spending her days down in a basement.

But this was her basement.
Her inner sanctum.
And now, her crime scene.

The pervasive scent of musky old books down here in the innermost of her rooms was usually comforting, but today it was somewhat befouled by a strong coppery taint in the air as well.

In lieu of walls were towering bookshelves laden with volumes both ancient and modern, and in no discernible order. The topmost shelves were reached using rolling ladders, but these had been pushed into the corners to make the most of the space available.

Her desk, an old large walnut affair whose design was decidedly out of fashion, stood off-centre, its top covered in so many stacks of paperwork and publications that it looked to be an exercise in disorder, no matter her protestations that it was organised chaos.

But it was to the chaise longue reclining in the far corner of the room that her gaze, cold and dispassionate, finally fell. There, upon the faded burgundy velvet, lay the bloodied body of her assistant where he had fallen in his death throes.

She sighed, then held out her hand to the older man standing beside her.

“Livingston. The camera, s'il te plait.”

She came back out and sauntered her way back over to her spot at the bar, looking around. Scanning for life signs of katy perry.

When she got in front of a mirror she just leaned forward onto it for a moment, eyes closing. Finding her focus. Opening her eyes and seeing her reflection, she suddenly could see herself punching it. Destroying. Leveling this whole building around her. But that would hurt people. And she wasn't meant to hurt people. She was meant to spread love and joy to all of the world. Everyone. Everybody. Every. Last. Person. And thing. Things need love too.

*listening to you and just giving you a grin* If I remember right it is Ar you need to go to, correct?? If you went to the Builder's Cylinder, you would find me registered there. No, I do realize the restrictions of one's cast. If I caused offence by calling you Physician, I apologize. It was merely to make my point, nothing more.

*sighing and leaning back in my chair, looking at you for a few moments* I will accept your counter offer as you have me at a disadvantage, but only if you accept a retaining fee. I pay up front.

"Okay! I'll brb!"

And she got up, setting down her mug on the bar, and walked somewhat hastily toward the women's room.

"Okay! I'll be right back!"

Setting down her coffee mug, scooting out of her chair, and then weaving to head for the bathroom like nothing was wrong right now.

no not really my thing.

"You are very kind and caring, katy perry. I think I just need to go to the ladies' room. Do you wanna come with?"

Smirks playfully.

do you need help getting home or are you ok by yourself?

Smiles with a little happy grunt.

"I like you already!"

She got a faraway look in her eyes for a moment. They looked...glazed over. Hazy. Then she looked at you and looked around. She looked more serious now.

"Um...I think I need...maintenance."

She started rocking back and forth in her chair a little then. Not too urgently, but enough to notice when you're up close.

Port Kar
She listened and then spoke out of respect, "I don't think you need a healer as much as you need someone in the realm of safety." she chuckles, then she winces and covers her mouth and then tries not to laugh.. "I would venture your men need better foremen to keep their work habits safe and use proper methods and using proper work procedures." It was of course not her place to be that person but she could appreciate what he was saying

"You put a very, difficult offer on the table for me. I do apologize, I really don't take notice of ship yards or what it is they do there. I with all my heart thank you for considering me a physician but if another of my caste were to discover you calling me that, i can get into a lot of trouble and loose my status.. very quickly. You see, there is a time honored way of doing things in my caste. Sometimes, it doesn't make a lot of sense to people who my caste works, but in the long run, we have to follow process. I'm half way there, and if a day comes I am blessed to have my second bracelet removed, then my journey takes me to far off lands to complete the process of gaining my physician status and doing so with honor and respect to the caste and those that practice it. I have to stay the course, and the ship, nice and all but its just one chapter of my medical field. You see, for many years, I was a caravan healer, which took me all over the world. I have been to every little corner of it, see many wonderful things and at the same time, not so good things. I like to express that, my knowledge base is extensive, but I am also restricted in my work. I cannot break protocol, just as warrior cannot break his caste codes of conduct. Yes, we can choose to do it but, in the end we are only hurting ourselves. My current employer will be away for still some length of time, and I have been offered other work but, I don't know what that entails exactly. Are you opposed me working for others while working for you?"

This was important to know, as there were so many people in the world that needed help, and she wondered just how much of her attention he would desire or need for this. Of course, she would be staying in Port Kar, even though she thought about going to Lydius for a little while but, perhaps that little journey can be put on hold, there was no rush to get there or real reason other than to visit an old friend. So, she hoped his answer would be favorable. She didn't wish to deny anyone her healing hands, just some might need the more than others.

"Yeah, actually coffee."

Shrugs with a slight frown.

"I figure I can give you back the small card you signed for me, and you can give it to someone who needs it."

Nods, looking very proud of herself for a moment. Then it passed and she took another sip of coffee.

nice to meet you again Seven.

chuckles a bit actually coffee? or just trying to get me alone?
