Chapter 7 by glaum glaum

You follow your new acquaintance.

Victuals await (hopefully).

You and Kira take the entrance in front of you. Through it, you enter the cafeteria. It's a little larger than the living space, with long tables and simple chairs. Past the dining area seems to be a food bar and two other doors, although one seems to lead outside.

In the corner of the right-most table, at the edge of your survey, sits the woman in the translucent robe. Her hair is up, reading a book and sipping tea from a cup. Like a crack of thunder, Kira zooms towards the other woman and starts yelling at her.

"There you are, Nikita! You fucker! You left me waiting out there! I told you to meet me-"

In a chilling instant, with a single glare and a finger on Kira's lips, the cafeteria deafens. Even the waterfall would blush at making a peep in the palpable austerity.

"Hush now, love. You looked so beautiful outside sleeping. No earthly human could have interrupted such a chef d'œuvre of the gods’ own hands. Painted in front of me, every stroke enlightening. So I came here to have a nice cup of tea."

Her glare turns to you. You immediately understand how such a lively person as Kira could hush up so swiftly by someone. Even though she was just a few feet from you, you could see the soberness in this woman's eyes. Yet on her face you could still see the woman that gave you the warm, greeting smile earlier. But most interestingly of all, one of her eyes was a dark red. No soul on Earth could have resisted such a regard. Yet it was hard to look away, rendered even more difficult due to her entire body being nearly exposed.

"You brought a friend, Kira?" she said in a more playful tone.

And like nothing ever happened, Kira perked back up into her usual self. "Yes! This is Hannah. I believe you two have met, kinda."

"'Kinda' indeed. Hello. My name is Nikita. A pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine," you respond. "I'm Hannah Miller. I just got here."

"Fantastic. I'm sure you'll find the Crystal Rose a quite charming place."

"Oh!" Kira exclaimed. "Shit, I knew I forgot something. The food! Come, Hannah. I'll show you where the chow is."

You nod and get up.
