[After making connections at Shades Darker and the Gilded Cage, this sort of world is slowly becoming more familiar to Mai. Not that Shades Darker is an unsavory place or the Gilded Cage is either but it seems to be a natural consequence of dabbling your toes in the bare edges of a town's underworld. And to be honest, Mai isn't sure how much she likes the dabbling she's been doing. Sure, she's doing it of her own free will but it's chiefly with an eye toward advancement and securing additional safety for those still sleeping from her world.
This room is another example of the dabbling and Mai can't help but give a healthy, deep frown at everything going on. The bartender approaches her to ask if she wants a drink or even any of the batch itself and she waves a hand dismissively as she asks for something warm if they have it. There's a chill in the pit of her stomach as she remains near the wall like some sort of very grumpy look bodyguard.
The atmosphere in the room is lighter at least. Those gathered and partaking talk animatedly and Mai can't help but somewhat admire how easy Takasugi seems to be with them. Maybe she's a little too straightlaced to be too easy with these sorts of crowds.
When the bartender returns with her drink, she accepts it with barely a nod and then sighs some before she mutters into her drink:]
I wonder if they take this stuff to relax or they can't relax until they take it.
