Placed before her sat decorative tea cup filled with Darjeeling, the spices reminiscent of experiences from a lost youth. She never missed home, but that likely had more to do with the bureaucracy than the setting. If anyone was willing to boast Indian ancestry, it was the Bagheera, but that quiet lifestyle wasn't one she intended to return to anytime in the near future. America was waaaay more fun. Honestly, without watchful eyes on her every move, it was almost too easy to shake the culture she was raised within in favor of adopting the decadence and decay of the exotic western wilds. If nothing else, Rufio prided herself on that ingrained ability to adapt and blend in, even if it meant she succumbed to a subtle white wash over the years. So be it.
Pausing to straighten her posture, the woman nodded appreciatively towards her beverage, then cast an appraising gaze over the pastry. A manicured nail moved to press against the top of the wafer, and scraping at the frosted layer coating, the sweet was regarded with vague interest. A slice of lime was removed from neighboring dish by the same digits, and thoroughly squeezed over the dessert. Perhaps she hadn't actually wanted what she ordered, but money would exchange hands all the same, leaving Rufio with her quieted condition and tea to sip. If this required feigned sobriety, the Panther had mixed feelings. Steps bringing company would ensure she stay focused, so with a chill breath, air was blown across the surface of the Darjeeling while peculiar aquarian orbs sought the individual speaking.
A familiar face without any hint of recognition. Lakshmi was known to Rufio, though vaguely. A hard one to keep tabs on. Yet her mind was running circles then, focused on how the two knew one another. Had Rufio's name traveled at length without her knowledge? Without her consent? How dreadfully expected. But, no. No, Lakshmi wasn't unknown, nor did she trigger any cautionary reactions. If she felt anything towards the pack Alpha, it was curiosity. In this, a smile stole Rufio's features. "???." The word was yes, though thoughts would be quieted while she further listened to the woman addressing her. "I make appearances when able." Unlike her company, Rufio had no stiffness to her seated figure, nor any saccharine to her vocals. Just the smokey thickness of sultry tones. A voice that belied her calm.
"But you know these pleasures well enough. My company, or the company of other guests- Lakshmi, you needn't flatter me. I'm just another patron making their rounds." The threads of coyness would come undone by the time she softly made the addition of, "Though I wish to speak with you privately at your discretion... If you're so inclined."
