When Desire and Desperation Meet (Verdada, Sabriel)

Wandering from place to place had its ups and downs. Making money thankfully was pretty easy when you were someone like her. The occasional hollows in america weren't quite as much trouble as was going on in other areas of the world. And with her own strength, peeling them apart was quite simple even for someone like her.

That was the thought that crossed her mind as she sat on the pile of rubble that overlooked the bloody scene. Four different hollows scattered across the grass, a few stray splatters of blood having mussed her pants and her shoes, no less her hands. A mess, but one that wouldn't be too much of a pain to handle. She yawned softly and gave a little roll of her shoulders. Decent enough for a day's work at least. But it was something else that caused her to perk up and glance away from the carnage. Those half-lidded eyes focusing as her pesquisa picked up on a distant spirit energy.

Nothing dangerous, but still worthy of note. An arrancar?

A half smile played across her lips and she rose up to her feet, wiping her hands off in the bit of water draining from a broken pipe before lightly rolling her shoulders. Well, she may as well introduce herself yea?

The transition from the outskirts to the city was sadly a bit on the slow side. She was no expert with Sonido, but after a few minutes, she was close enough to walk the rest of the way. And once she arrived in the city proper, she pulled on a pair of gloves and stopped by the hunter's office to pick up her pay. Offering pictures with her phone of the kills. With a hefty donation now weighing her pocket, she closed in on that spiritual pressure, humming idly to herself as she closed in, making no attempt to hide the subtle hum of her own spiritual pressure. Weak as it was. But still present. Curious to see if the other arrancar would be just as curious.

Oh? Seemed like she was noticed. A lopsided little smile formed across her lips as she approached the other arrancar, raising a brow when they met her all the way in the middle of the street rather than letting them meet off to the side like a normal person. And so, as they met halfway, Verdada simply kept walking past the woman. IN terms of her looks? She looked tired. But she had a bit of curve to her. Nothing really shapely that really wasn't her wheelhouse.

Still, she'd raise a hand and crook a finger for the woman to follow her off to the sidewalk, stopping just short of an alleyway before turning around and resting her back against the wall, giving the woman an amused crooked smile. "If by locals you mean hollows. I do jobs for the humans around here if that's what you're asking. Gotta say though, didn't expect to see an arrancar out here in the states. Lookin to find a place to settle down?" The question came with an almost sarcastic little hum to her voice. Not squarely so, but toeing that sortof singsongy little tune that made it a bit unclear wether or not she was being genuine.

Verdada raised a brow slightly as she considered the woman infront of her. "Oh yea? Guess that makes sense. Not exactly a super pretty place most places. Though you can still find some pretty spots here and there." She noted with a lopsided little smile, canting her head a bit to the side as she lightly drummed her fingers along her own thigh.

"I do whatever jobs get me decent cash for the effort." She stated simply enough, a yawn creeping up from her chest, gently stretching her arms a little and then letting them drop to her sides after the fact. Largely unaware of whatever mental calculations were going on in Asha's head. She gently let her head cant to the side, looking the woman over thoughtfully.

"Not that that's really strange though eh? Hollows killing other hollows is common in hueco mundo after all." A soft hum sounded from her throat as she lightly itched her chin. "So. Vacation huh? What kinda itinerary do you have in mind? Not gonna be causing trouble are you?" She asked calmly.

Her smile widened ever so slightly and she shuckled slightly at the response given from the other arrancar. MY my, she was a confident one wasn't she? "I've enjoyed the occasional book here and there. It's a nice escape to have handy when things are a little hectic." She noted as she stepped closer, promptly into the other arrancar's personal bubble. She was a good four inches shorter than them.

"Well you'd best be careful with that kind of thing. Humans can be awful touchy these days. Not to mention that they can be pretty strong too. Can't tell you how many times I've run into a human that I thought to myself might cut me in half if I wasn't careful." She chuckled sensibly, lightly rolling her shoulders before closing one of her eyes and reaching into her coat. She pulled out a little business card and handed it to the woman. "There's a nice little tavern not far from here where I'm staying. They have an Arrancar that runs the place. She's nice and familiar with how things down here go. She can help you find your books, maybe even get you some more normal looking clothes. You'll wanna fit in if you're gonna be around here." She advised.

A brow raised slightly at the rather errant response to the strength of human warriors. Of course, humans were also incredibly resilient against outside influence at certain levels, but she also knew better than to underestimate such casual remarks. There were all kinds of abilities to be found within a hollow. Though, the obvious checking out was certainly new. There were certainly a lot of lookers, but she wouldn't really consider herself the kind to draw attention. She'd ignore that for now.

"Cool beans, you go right on ahead and do that. As for my room, I don't have one." She lied right to the woman's face, a smile as she did so.
