Her heart jumped once at that, skipping a beat at the omission. She wondered why she hadn’t heard a cat purr before. There were plenty of strays most anywhere; at least there were in her experience. It was sad, definitely, but she’d been expecting things like this. Maybe not to this extent, but all the same. Everyone had a story; Ruka doubted she’d get hers. Those were things she exchanged before or after a night love love-making, after all. But the bits and pieces painted a picture, all the same.
She’d been used before, perhaps by multiple people. Taken advantage of. She was also a bit of a risk-taker because she couldn’t afford not to be, given the chance she’d taken with Ruka just to get clothes and food. A cigarette. She didn’t know if she exchanged sex for goods, but Ruka wouldn’t push aside the possibility. It didn’t make her sick to her stomach; primarily because she didn’t see prostitution as an evil. It was only evil if you did it because you had to, not because you wanted to—because it made you happy.
If she ever did come by the club maybe Ruka'd bribe Saydri to let her pet him. Or Saint. She chuckled internally that, but the action didn’t make itself visible as she tucked her hands into her pockets. Her gait wasn’t fast or slow, not wanting to leave Ren behind.
“A shop for clothes—shoes. Bianca’s. It’s not open today, but I’m friends with the owner. Some of my employees keep odd hours, so she lets me come and go. We have an arrangement.” She shrugged as if it didn’t matter. She didn’t really need to mention that sometimes her employees were not all that different from Ren—alone, looking for something in the world, a safe place for a few days, moments; a place to breathe and sleep. Bathe without worrying about hot water running outl. Some weren’t, but they all had woes in one way or another. And sometimes all the really needed were new clothes. A pair of shoes.
Painful, but a very real fact.
In a moment she was stopping in front of small shop with women’s and men’s fashions in the window. A consignment shop; it had a bit of old and new. A red woolen fedora sat on top of a mannequin’s head on one side, the rest of it in a suit to match. In the other a female mannequin in jeans with sequins and a halter top and fur wrap over her shoulders.
“At any rate, I can’t imagine you want to have anyone staring at you half naked; some strange shop owner curling their nose at your bare feet and what they imagine to be a poor imitation of a Meyerpire.” Gods, Saint was rubbing off on her. Brat.
She took her keys out and unlocked the door. Assuming Ren would follow, she went right in and over to the security pad on the wall. The code was quickly typed in. Unfortunately, it was time sensitive.
