The kappa was a bit of an oddball; aside from not belonging to a clan of her kind, Aka had learned to keep her head covered so not to allow the juices that strengthen her to spill and preferred to keep their lair somewhat furnished with 'tributed', or sometimes stolen, furniture.
She noticed her friend and partner in mischief stumble in drunk...again.
Aka did not mind the Tanukie's drinking all that much, but as she was the one most skilled at shape shifting, she was the one most often sent into town for the supplies they could not steal or did not receive (Aka being a local, and somewhat feared, Sujion) as tribute. This presented multiple problems, in this case, The drunken Tanukie had spent the last of their money, mostly stolen, on her current booze, irritating her roommate.
"Enjoying the last of our coin?" the irate Kappa asked, a hint of venom behind her otherwise sweet voice.
