The east side of the city is the very heart of Sacrosanct - it's unique skyline is a clash between modern sky rises and small Victorian-inspired storefronts. In the heart of downtown, the sleek colored glass buildings reign supreme though their old-world roots can be seen in the most peculiar places from the lamp post styled electric street light to the stone sidewalks. The old world architecture slowly returns the further from downtown you travel, however. It's here that magic thrives, it hums in every stone and can be felt in every breath. Often, newcomers to the city may become overwhelmed by such sensations but, eventually, it becomes an ever-present feeling that's hardly noticed.

Askaree Bint Bahar
Dear God this was turning into a veritable cluster-fuck of deeply-seeded and apparently unresolved sexual tensions being bounced respectively betwixt the man-child and his impish little minx. It was a tangible thing, thick and pungent, singing the tender flesh at the back of her throat with as much clandestine acid as the perfume smog that surrounded more than one of the individuals present in this particular establishment. Far more intriguing than this, though, was the glacial nip to the matron's lilt, a song that had been ever so accommodating mere moments prior. Who had pissed in the Queen's Cheerios? Oh wait, that had been her... for shame. It is a passing whimsy crafted by a booze-addled brain that, to her merit, Askaree is able to conceal quite nicely though the notion amuses her in an admittedly and unapologetically childish manner.
It is for but a moment though, as an irksome buzzing tickled impishly at the dregs of her mind, the subtle twitch of a brow arising as the only acknowledgement of the intrusion. Was she truly that intoxicated? Surely not. Oh wait... he was talking again. Grasping for whatever last reserves of patience she might have laid claim to, the Egyptian turned her attentions slowly to the snow-capped ruffian and his hilariously smug infant's face. "Which one are you, the pot or the kettle? Because if mild heatstroke is the epitome of your abilities I daresay you're just as 'pathetic'. I was merely offering to remove you with my bare hands... a feat I doubt would be very taxing because you look as if you haven't lifted anything heavier than a wine glass in quite some time." Slow and deliberate is the pull she takes of the refreshed tumbler in her hands, far more taken by the smooth alcoholic kiss than she is by either of the sensationally quippy members of their budding little trio. "But, as the lady said, this is hardly the place." Hardly the place for a dash of witty repartee amongst patrons and some harmless dick-measuring but... apparently the perfect breeding ground for sexual frustrations that, let us be honest, were potentially of a far greater hazard to such an establishment. Alas, who was Askaree to dictate or question house rules?
Darker eyes turn to the scrawny gentleman at her side once again as, lo and behold, he seems obliged (or obligated due to the presence of the robe-donning matron) to offer some manner of platitudinous introduction. Askaree's finely-chiseled features do not shift into anything apart from vague boredom at his attempt to presume anything of her sense of humor in the wake of the approximately two minutes he had spent in her presence. "I had intended no such thing, certainly not after you've managed to suck what little humor there might have been in that," she offered flately before extracting a bill from within her jeans to offer to the bartender at her back and turning to the dark-haired damsel. "Nadya, it has been a pleasure." Her smile is a chesire grin though it is not entirely bereft some shred of genuine honesty, far more enjoyable an expression than the one she fixes to Jack Frost or Snowball or whatever it was he chose to call himself. She lingers in a moment of pregnant silence, hardly bothering to proffer up anything as congenial as a few parting words to him, before turning upon her heels and taking her leave.
