There's Always A Bigger Fish

"Zayna!" Fayemi launched herself towards her body, welcomed with open arms.

"Fayemi!" Her head rested just below Zayna's chest.

While the ladies were busy expressing their affection in public, Tysashi took a long stare at the unfamiliar woman. Her long, healthy hair was as white as the clouds in the sky. Combined with her porcelain skin, she was extremely attractive to many. She wore a black cloak over her gray shirt with a bloody claw mark. Her ripped, black shorts revealed the red stitching used. Most of her legs were exposed, but she preferred such freedom. As for her footwear, brown leather boots shielded her feet from the outside world.

Two guns laid on both sides of her hip. He wanted to ask about her weapons, but allowed the two to chatter.

"So, you wanna explain why you flew through a mirror?" Zayna's cherry-red eyes paused on her face.

"I was fighting Glace. I'm still aching from the battle, but it's nothing serious."

"It's nothing serious to you, but it is to me. Go ahead and smoke this."

She reached into the right side of her cloak and gave her a lit Curela Stick. Similar to the shape of a cigarette, the item had a mix of green and white. The symbol of a red cross was marked in the center. While Fayemi inhaled the lime-green smoke, Zayna introduced herself to Tysashi.

"Now that she's taken care of, I'll help you get familiar with me. As you've heard, I'm Zayna, an assassin in the name of Queen Marissa. It's nice to meet you in person."

"Nice to meet you too, Zayna. I see you and Fayemi are great friends."

"Yeah, she's like a sister I've never had. I couldn't imagine being apart from her for too long."

She turned to Fayemi for a bit, watching her discard the Curela Stick. Her insides became numb; her nerves couldn't detect any pain.

"Man, I feel so...light now."

"You'll be like that for a while. It's nothing once you're used to it like me." Her hand moved through Fayemi's gorgeous hair, soothing her mind.

Growing impatient, Fayemi's stomach called out for help.

"Ah right, I'm hungry as hell. I was thinking about the new restaurant that opened up in Palm Tree Beach. You can join us if you want."

"I'm down, I gotta show you something anyway."

Thus began the pleasant walk to the fresh and popular restaurant, The Big Catch.

Tysashi let the girls continue on without him; he wanted to speak with Lily before anything else happened.

As he entered the hut, Lily was caught playing with her nails. Today was a slow day for her, and she was incredibly bored. Her eyes shot up, expecting another customer who would only browse before leaving. Thankfully, she was wrong.

"Tysashi!" A bright smile spread across her face as she corrected her posture.

"Hey, Lily. I came by to see how you were doing."

She started her reply with a soft sigh. "I wish I was doing well. Nobody's been buying anything as of late thanks to that new restaurant."

"I could buy something if you want."

"Thank you, but Rico is helping me convince the owner to enhance their menu with my fruits. That way, I can profit off their success."

"I see. The fruits are incredible, so I really hope they consider it."
