Ani picked up her pint before taking a small sip from it, closing her eyes half way as she tasted the minerals in the water. "Hrm..." she smiled softly and looked at Tisra as she crawled up onto the table and began to lap up the water form the bowl. "Does it taste off to you too?"
"It does, but it's because they have chemicals in the water I think" she says between laps before sighing and licking her chops. "I think I might steal some of that food..." she says before looking at the bartender. "Uhm... can I get something to eat? Maybe a grill cheese with bacon in it?"
Ani held up the only bit of money that she had decided to get: 100 meeps. Which she figured wasn't even enough. "I will pay for her food"

Oi looked at the pile "I like your materials!! Very eclectic."
Oi started looking threw the stuff, she smiled "I know someone that owns a scrap yard near where we are going, but if you want to find the mother of all...shinies places. I have to show you some of the drewn scrap yards. I've never been to one but they have mile upon mile of stuff."
"So what can I get you? They do sell soft drinks here too and well it's bad manners not to have a drink with you."

Zi the barfur smiled "I will ask them my self." Zi was making it clear that people ordered their own drinks here to Kseniya, he had seen this kind before "The strongest? From the hand pumps? From the fridge? From the optics...two of which I wont sell you as they are fatal to non green furs or a special from under the bar?" Zi the bar fur handed Ah her pint. Kseniya Xaimoungkhoun "Well that limits me quite a lot. Just pick something if-" I stopped myself. I might be able to insult people back home, but I probably shouldn't here. "Yeah, I guess you just pick something." Amado Mehrotra "I don't need a drink. And I think you must be gender confused. She is not a he. And don't underestimate her. The way she drinks makes the Em- her brother look sober."

Ah said quietly to Ani "Don't flash money here, it's very bad manners. Well that and it's a good way to get mugged.
I'll cover this and it's a lot less than what your flashing. Dunno what your currency is like but the meep is kinda strong. If your charged more than two meeps a pint you are being ripped off. A loaf of bread is three dennies...er zero point three meeps.."
Ah shouted "Zi when you get a mo cheese and bacon for the wee yin?"
Zi nodded, the crowd was odder than usual.

Zi, the bar fur looked at Kseniya and started pouring a pint of 81 shilling. He smiled "Most of the jew that come threw here drink this and they seem to like it."
As he did so he looked at saying "It is very bad manners here not to take a drink when offered, even if it is a soft drink. I would suggest you don't insult Ah, she is doing her best."

"Mahnaz? What do men have do with drink? You make no sense! And how drink soft? Drinks are wet, not soft! You very silly. Ooh! Munchmunches! Food! What have there is? I not have funny money like you, only home money, is ok? Not sure..."
She fumbled around a bit in her pocket, pulling out several bronze coins with Aatuylvan writing on them. A rather large one depicted someone being decapitated with an axe.
"Is money good? Munch munches! Tell me...er..word..what is word...menu? Is that word?"

Oi smiled "Paper with pictures on it as money here. They sent you it. Funny pictures?"
Oi like Ah knew that the foreign office would have sent people some cash so they could live before they got their grant. Oi was wondering how this creature could deal with a bank, but the coins got her attention.
Oi said "I like pretty, rare here worth more bits of paper with pictures. Bit's of paper with pictures worth shiny things and food"
Oi was not exactly an expert in language but figured a fellow sculptress would get the idea.

"Paper moneys? Is silly! I gave those to Sparkles to play with..he likes crinklies.."
She started searching through her backpack until she pulled a wad of crumpled up bills out, replacing the coins with it.
"I not good reading your language, don't know how much that was, sorry."

Oi smiled "It is easy. green means one meep, blue means five meeps, brown means ten meeps, orange means twenty, pink means 50 meeps."
"You don't have to read them, just see the colour." Oi laughed.
"Well that an the bigger the paper the more it's worth in coins."
"Now please have a drink, fruit juice?"

She looks a moment at the money, pocketing some of it as her Reshan began to wander off towards the Aluezi.
"Fruit juice good, yes, would like some..how much is?"
What was left on the table was a five meep note.
"Your name for money is silly. Everything silly silly. So silly."

Oi laughed "I agree with you, I don't think anyone knows what a meep is."
Oi picked up the note and pointed at the back "I promise to pay the barer five meeps. I don't think anyone has ever called them on that. It is just paper."
Oi smiled "Every thing is silly, I just don't like to think about it too much. I don't think anyone does."
Oi shouted "A fruit juice Zi when you get a mo."
Oi put the note back in Ziza's paw "It's on me, what kind of a host would I be if you paid?"

Ani shook her head. "I don't flash money, besides, who'd mess with me?" she stuck the note back in her pocket, her stripes glowing like embers for a moment before going back to their original red color. Hopefully no one noticed.
"Tyah..." she cleared her throat before speaking in Cree to Ani. "You... packed the computers and projectors, right?"
Ani nodded 'yes' and smiled happily to Tisra, speaking back in Cree "But of course, I left my rifle home because... well, who'd want to see an AK toating Aluezi this far south? I did bring Parker with me though... just for security measures, let's hope no one looks in my computer case"
"Heh... you love that thing doncha?" she smirked and giggled quietly before resting her paw against Ani's nose. "Just don't use it against anyone... it may be a toy, but it still is able to be used as... well, you know..."
Ani smiled a bit. "But of course!" she giggled a bit before picking up Tisra and cuddling her like a kit. "Still up for anything interesting tonight?" she switched back to normal Anglic
Tisra nodded, switching back too. "Yahuh! Maybe when we get to the university" she looked over at the bar tender and headtilted a bit at him, waiting on her food.

Zi was busy, he dumped a pint of blackcurrant juice in front of Ziza and a pint of 81 shilling infront of Kseniya, Oi and Amado. Stuff it no one came to his bar and didn't get a drink of something and if that feline didn't like it could give it to that weird thing with him.
A plate was pushed out from the kitchen by the unseen cook, though the claw was kind of reptilian and feathery*.
Zi grabbed it and put it at the end of the bar Zi shouted "Your mates" at Ah.
Ah got up and shrugged at the other two "He's short staffed, Ma should be here by now."
She grabbed the dish, it was kinda large with lots of bacon and cheese.
Ah smiled "This place doesn't do small portions." She smiled.
The food in front of Tisra probably weighed more than she did, but smells very tempting.
*feel free to ask what the hell the cook is.

Tisra sniffed a few times of the food in front of her before smiling when Ani began to cut up the thing for her, hopping back up onto the table before wagging her tail happily from side to side before looking at the cook. "A dinoid?" she perked a brow before shaking it off and waiting for the food to be cut up, before snatching up a piece and quietly eating it down.
Ani smiled and set the utensils aside and took another sip of water from her pint, tail swaying slowly behind her as she reached into her pocket, pulling an MP4 player from her pocket and putting in one of the earbuds, quickly flipping through the songs and finding what she wanted to listen to: 3 doors down.

Ah smiled to tisra "I think it's a quine, but they tend to hide in the kitchen. Can't complain as they do cook very nice stuff."
She realised that Tisra probably had no idea what a quine was.
"Ah, the quine are a raptorian people, they kinda came over from Miokalia a long time back and joined the commonwealth for the most part. Miokalia emass is a bit of a problem, the commonwealth quine still claim it as does the commonwealth...but that's just a paper thing. Not like either side are going to make an issue of the thing. The only thing that makes Miokalia emass odd is that everyone born there can claim commonwealth and Miokalia citizenship. The ones with sense do as having two passports is always handy."
