Sonya ordered the same. The waiter left to get their drinks. "You've been to taverns I imagine..it's just like that only a lot more high class." She looked at the table across from them on the right and smile a little. "let me know if I'm right." In the direction were two men in business suits talking over lumch, Sonya closed her eyes. "One of them is nervous...it's the one on the right. He wants to succeed in a deal, but..there's also fear. He's near bankruptcy and is desperate to avoid it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Good job Sonya," he took her hand, but quickly released it. "You're catching on. I'm afraid that he will not succeed in this dealing... the one on the left is quite uninterested. It would seem that he doesn't think too much of him." Shang Tsung took a sip of his water. "Outworld Taverns are quite different from this. I'd actually say this is quite preferable. No miscreants coming around." Shang Tsung looked at his menu and frowned. "I don't know what hardly any of this is. I think I'll just have whatever you get?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She smiled her thanks. A server came up their table, giving them a basket of rolls with olive oil and herbs for dipping before asking if they where ready to order. Sonya ordered them both a veal scalepini with angel hair pasta, deciding it would be simple enough and yet still up to standard. She resumed talking when the server left. "It was easier this time, though I think it was also due to the nervous man putting on a poor show of overconfidence." She took a sip of water (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It gets easier each time," he said trying one of the rolls. "You saw through his facade as well? Part of the trick if you will, is to put away those preconceived notions, they often cloud judgment you see. But like I said I'm quite impressed with your progress." He examined her. "You look elegant today... I don't know what it is." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She picked at a roll to. "I sometimes have to interrogate suspects and the like, and in a combat situation, the target will usually try to make demands from us." She swallows. "This ability should save us a lot of time if we have anyone for interrogation, since for obvious reasons, they won't talk that easily. Unless of course you manage to get through their facade, then they get desperate and make it even easier." Sonya blinked and looked at herself: denim trousers, button, down blouse..while by no means sloppy, it wasn't really 'elegant' either. "Maybe it's because I'm not sporting any bruises anything?" It was the best guess she could come up with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"It's probably the fact that you're more dignified than most of the slob women I've seen around this town. I honestly would have never found anyone if you hadn't been in this realm... I can promise you that much." He shifted in his seat, and sipped on his water. "You're definitely an enigma... on any realm. These people are all so simple minded, I've never met anybody around here with a great mind. Their souls are readable without the slightest of efforts, it will be most difficult to find a real test for you... If only I could make you read your own soul." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Atleast that way I wouldn't have to worry about you cheating on me." She ran her thumb across her water glass. "If I'm more dignified it's because I've had to be, military bearing plus, in Outworld-image is everything. As for being an enigma, again it's from Outworld. Honestly, had I not shielded my soul from the shadow priests and their interrogations, I would've gone mad at best, completely broken and useless at worst." Her eyebrows lowered. "So, what you seen now, is probably just the result of me staying in Outworld." She bit her lip. "Here's a question for you? And to save me the trouble of getting another headache, just be truthful."

	Shang Tsung swallowed his roll, and took a sip of water. "You have a question for me? Well go ahead and ask. I promise I'll answer it truthfully." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The server came back with their food. Sonya paused until he left, twirling some pasta with tomato pesto on a fork before speaking. "You're a shapeshifter," She tried to keep a straight face. "What's the most awkward moment you've had to put up with, when using a female form?" Not a serious question in the least, but the mood at the moment was so tense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Shang Tsung smirked, and was sort of relieved. "Well to be honest. At one time I had to turn into Mileena in an attempt to test Baraka's loyalty... because you know he had been very loyal to Shao Kahn. Well that turned into a very odd situation. Baraka turned out to be loyal, but he was also very much determined to have sex with me. I literally had to fight him off..." Shang Tsung smiled a bit at remembering that. "Was that really your question?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sonya tried to keep a poker face..tried..tried...fail. She nearly burst out giggling and nodded. "Yes, that's my real question. I was curious. At his answer, she didn't bother hiding her disgust. "I also know what you mean. Baraka would try and talk me into sleeping with him when I was in the dungeon, I reminded him about Mileena and all he did was smirk and say that 'she could join as well'. She started eating. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You should have told me about that," Shang Tsung said trying a bite of his lunch. "I would have taken his soul. Filthy beast. If I ever see him again, he will be answering for that." Shang Tsung smiled to himself though. "I should have tested his loyalty in that way. He would have been quite shocked when you turned into the great Shang Tsung." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She shrugged. "I had other things on my mind besides reporting sexual harassment: besides how was I to know anyone would actually care. I also think he was drunk on hr'ret* I could've smelled it on him even if I was suffering from the flu." Sonya suddenly got the mental image of that and grimaced. "That's just nasty." Veal was good though. *hr'ret: an alchoholic drink favored by the nomads. Properly aged and distilled, even watered down would send a human seeing spots. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"That's true," Shang Tsung said as he took a sip of water. "This is different than anything I'm used to, but it is quite good." Shang Tsung frowned, "Yeah that would be quite disgusting. I don't think I could have gone through with it in the end." "I'm amazed we've remained civil for this long," Shang Tsung said with a small laugh. "Usually we would be in an argument around this time of day." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
