take me back to the basics. [open]

Hosenka was renowned through Fiore, it's hot springs attracting tourists from all over.  The female mage was of no exception. Though truth be told Hot Springs was rather misleading. She hadn't expected it them to be steaming pools of water, but that didn't stop her from slipping into them. Only to find that she didn't care for the water temperature of the so called Hot Springs. They were a little chilly when first slipping in, but after spending sometime simply sitting in the water Venir was able to warm it up to a more comfortable temperature. Much to the displeasure of the other inhabitants of the hot spring. It wasn't just the hot springs that kept Venir within Hosenka, but also the wide variety of alcohol. With such a variety it was only natural she want to try each one, provided that the bartender light the alcohol on fire first. A drunken fire user was far from good. Within a few days the town had practically cleared out until the fire slayer would inevitably leave out of boredom, which had yet to occur considering there was still plenty of hot springs and alcohol.


She chirped as she entered the bar much to the bartenders and other patrons displeasure. "Well, they finally got back to a temperature that doesn't cook normal people when going in." He was already pulling out a glass for the blonde woman. The other patrons took one looks at the voluptuous blonde and left. A rather odd reaction considering her appearance. Venir was far from frightening; petite, curvaceous, and at the least most considered her pretty. Yet the reactions of those within the bar would have suited that of a monster rather than a young woman."Give me something I haven't tried yet! Then I'll take a dip in the springs!" She slid into the bar seat farthest from the wolf, having not yet taken notice of him. "Oi try not to burn my counter again." The bartender snapped when she went to rest her elbows upon the counter, burns marks were there from her last visit. "S-Sorry." She scratched at the back of her mess of blonde hair, now unsure as to what she should do with her hands. Uncertainty didn't last very long as a glass of flaming liquor was set in front of her, with a grin she drank it all in one go. "Ah~!" Her fingers curled about the still warm glass, enjoying the feel of it beneath her fingertips. "Another one please!" She requested enjoying the way the fire sat in her belly.

Only as the bartender began to pour her another glass of liquor did Venir finally take notice of the rather strange man that sat at the other end of the counter. "Woah!" She grinned, violet eyes practically sparkling at the sight, "You have ears and a tail!" It was said with child like fascination, much like her expression. Unlike others she was not one to look from afar, or stare without saying anything. No, the blonde often said what was on her mind, regardless of what it was.

"Yes!" She chirped with excitement only to quickly mend her words, "Well, I mean... Are you sure?" Her voice sounded almost concerned, wary even but the desire to stroke the soft looking fur was still evident in her eyes. It was only natural that she was a little concerned, but as long as she focused she was certain that she could keep her own body temperature under control. Or at least controlled enough so that she wouldn't burn or singe the white fur. His introduction and prompting for her own introduction did not go unnoticed and the young woman flickered her gaze from the shifting of his tail to his face, "Oh I'm Venir RuLush! It's nice to meet you as well!" A tad embarrassed that she had forgotten as something as basic as introducing herself, she rubbed at the back of her head awkwardly.

Only when after she had introduced herself, and of course received a secondary sort of confirmation that it was alright to touch his tail, did Venir reach a hesitant hand out towards it. "S-So soft!" She seemed almost amazed, as her finger tips barely brushed the fur, with a bit more confidence she placed her palm along it, this time stroking the fur down as gently as possible. Her touch was warm, more warm than any human ought to be, but it was not enough to burn or be uncomfortable. Giving a few more strokes to his tail, she reached up with her other hand, pausing for some sort of confirmation before she dared to touch his ears. The fur upon them was just as soft if not more so than his tail, though she couldn't say which she found more entertaining. "I've never met anyone with ears or a tail before." She explained, as she removed her hands, feeling a tad guilty for invading his personal space. Venir had heard of people having ears and tails before, and she had always wanted to visit Joya but hadn't gotten around to it yet. "I've always wondered what it would be like to have a tail, or fluffy ears! Are they sensitive? Easy to move around ya know like another arm?" She inquired, having a plethora of other questions concerning the anatomy of his ears and tail, but she didn't want to bombard him anymore than she already had.
