Fade smiled as she did her routine, it was the professional grin: when you were doing things almost inhuman so smoothly and easily the watchers brains would have to hang onto that human expression.
She had never performed in a tavern but she had altered her routine and judging by her audience it was a good one. From time to time she would survey the audience, it was good to know their reactions to various contortions but it was difficult to tell what with her gnosis making her more appealing and shrouding her with an inexplicable allure.
When she finished her fake smile vanished from her face, she walked to the bar but was intercepted by a young man, she listened to him then let some moments pass before she replied a slight smile on her lips. “I’ve heard something like that before, Nero. But no, I’m not some beautiful thief who has already pocketed your money, but I could be anything else you wouldn’t know would you?” She grinned and turned to order an ale avoiding any skin contact with the barman, letting him put down the drink on the counter before taking it in her slender fingers. She turned back, looking at him straight in the eyes and said “It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Fade”
