It's been a few months since Taleeze had last visited the Citadel, she had been dancing at some small scale club in the wards and had left to for her home and family on Nevos to be around them more. The light blue asari had been unsure of how to establish a new career, something else than being a travelling dancer/stripper, but eventually an opportunity had fallen into her lap. She had become a business partner of a volus who wanted to revive a casino near Astella on Nevos. Taleeze had brought her ties to the bid asari biotic sports league and experience in managing stage shows to the table, it didn't take long to convince the volus.
So it happened that she was now travelling to the Citadel for some business arrangements to be made and to take a closer look at the newly opened Cantina de Miami, which obviously was a brand new state of the art club and bar facility on the Citadel.
Taleeze entered the main floor, wearing a short colourful Nevos-style sundress and heeled sandals that were laced up to under her knees. The doors were something else already, large slowly turbines! The pace was impressive indeed, it covered several levels and she stopped in the main lobby to look up at the two story high aquarium. Fish of impressive size and sparkling colours were slowly doing their rounds, seemingly unimpressed by the surroundings. A krogan was pressing his nose to the glass and his eyes were darting around, following the fish...
There was some buzz going on, groups of people of all kind of species were sitting in lounges or at the bars, waiters and waitresses moving around between them. That business must be making some money! Taleeze wandered on to see how the other areas looked, maybe check out the dancefloors. She should probably take a few notes on her omnitool for reference.

"....and then they said, don't worry, we have whole crates full of spare pants!" Arina laughed, as did the middle aged well dressed human at her side as they entered the Cantina de Miami. "Oh, this too good. But honestly Ms Caenis, what did you expect? Oh, I am already a bit alte! Thanks for accompanying me, we will see each other around!" "No problem Mr Telmann, you were my excuse to have a look at this place, I wanted to do so anyway. Take care and regards to your wife!" "You take care and keep me posted!" He waved and went to whatever meeting he was late for.
Arina eventually looked around. A couple of people from the turian embassies had been talking about this new place and she was curious. She had no more appointments until tomorrow and teh office would call if they needed anything. The huge revolving doors sure were something special! She stopped to admire the huge aquarium tanks. Arina wondered if they had active sound barriers since the fish and other marine life didn't seem to be bothered by the sound of the dancefloors. Good for them, she thought. So this was the Cantina de Miami. A dossier had crossed her desk, a rather ... interesting vita for a manager of such a place. It wasn't flagged by C-sec or anything and Arina did these searches on people jut to feed her own curiosity. She told herself it was a good distraction from boring turian inner politics analysis.
She briefly noticed a krogan with some odd behavior. Was he shortsighted? She hoped he didn't plan to headbut the aquarium, the flood it would produce could kill people! She walked around one side and entered a bar area. There was a quite familiar figure!
"Taleeze. Ms Taleeze Driana! What a pleasure and surprise, how are you?" She approached Taleeze and offered her hands for agreeting

Having only recently moved to the station, Druss had figured she'd compare the Citadel's nightlife to her stop on Omega a week earlier. Passing through the doors, she'd take notice of the huge fish tank, which would only seem even more massive from her shortened perspective of the world. Although she'd be in a regular pressure suit his time, she'd be feeling a fair bit more confident in this establishment. In her head she'd be debating whether to go to one of the bars or the dance floor, seeing the two asari meet up as she decided to hang around the lounge until she decided her next move.

When Taleeze heard her name she turned around to see who it was. She immediately recognized the asari diplomat and began running towards Arina, a big smile on her face. "Heyyyy! What a surpis... oppps...ouch!" and she tripped over a volus who had been moving in the wrong direction at the wrong time, caught in the centre of Taleeze' exhuberance. Both ended up on the floor, rolling about. The volus maybe a bit more than Taleeze. "Oh my goddess! What a mess..." she scrambled to her knees, looking for the volus and helping him... (her?) up. Could one even be sure? Taleeze somehow thought she might be a woman. "I am terribly sorry! Are you alright? I wasn't paying attention and the lighting here is so dim...." Well, it was but that was a lame excuse, she just had not been paying any attention. A few people just shook their heads but nobody took further notice. Eventually Taleeze managed to also greet Arina. "Tides! I am such a mess sometimes." She turned to the volus again. "I am so sorry! Uhm... I think i owe you a drink or something." Good thing nobody had one yet. Her dress would have been a mess, the volus had the advantage of a suit here.

From a corner not far off came a distinctly avian snicker, followed by an undignified squawk. "It's impolite to laugh at misfortune in public." a rebuffing voice said as the tell-tale shimmer biotics grasped the up-turned Volus and returned her to her feet, albeit it slightly unsteady, probably due to the sudden return to her feet. "You were laughing to!" The annoyed, but amused reply came. "Hush Kira." was the response. She had been laughing, but a rough, calloused, pink hand had politely covered her mouth.
At their booth in the little nook, an asari, average in all but her soft pink skin and decidedly turian markings, and a Raloi that was startlingly similar to a raven with purple highlights, sat, apparently enjoying the misfortune of others, and sipping what appeared to be a martini and a cup of tea, respectively.

Arina flinched with outstretched hands as she saw the incident happen. Taleeze had almost jumped in her direction. Maybe it was her fault to call her from a distance. Just as she was trying to help the volus, she noticed biotics at works! She narrowed her eyes and her instincts immediately traced them to their source - a dark booth with two occupants or yet undefined origin, one of the clearly a biotc, most likely an asari.
The diplomat squinted. But whatever that person had done, it had helped the volus and Arina eventually helped Taleeze up as well, dusting off the back of that beautiful sun dress. "Oh dear! That was not my intention. Please excuse!" She said to the volus. "Hello Taleeze, what an encounter." now she had to chuckle a bit.

She'd be more than abit confused from the sudden trip, getting lifted up by the biotics and the barrage of attention. After steadying herself she'd look over at Arina, speaking, sounding abit shook up by the fall but otherwise fine "*hssk* Oh, not an issue Thessia-clan. It was my fault." Looking over to Taleeze, she'd assume it was one of the two asari next to her who had lifted her back up. "*hssk* Uhh, well . . . *hssk* Okay, sure." judging by her tone, she's either just happy to get a free drink out of this, or she's used to people tripping over her. Soon after she'd remember that the suit is largely metal, and metal is hard, speaking to Taleeze again. "*hssk* Are you alright? *hssk* Talzeez, right? You didn't hit anything on the suit?".

“Oh, it’s Ta-leeeze. Like in police, not like sneeze though. Nice to meet you.” She explained her name which often proved to be a tongue twister for some.
“Yeah, I am alright! Well, offering a drink is the least I can do to try and compensate for my carelessness.” She was pointing to the bar not far off. And not far off the alcove of the couple that had helped them. Taleeze hadn’t noticed yet, not even the squawk in all the hectic.
Taleeze took a seat on a stool, examining her shoes, but they were alright. “So, are you here often? What’s good? Please chose a drink, I’ll buy. Same for you, Arina. Compensation for even admitting you know this here dork.” She was referring to herself with a giggle.
She looked around. The bar had a small dancefloor on the other side but only little activity was going on at this time of day, the music was at a low level. Maybe they’d crank it up when the action picked up later at night.

Arina nodded and followed Taleeze and the volus. Her eyes traveled to that alcove again… there was a raloi! A species rarer than platinum – while everyone had seen them on news vids of cours, these days their presence in public was ultra rare. It actually was the one species, Arina had never dealt with in her a career. She raised an eyebrow at the fact that she had had more contact with rachni since the war even.
“I’m Arina Caenis, nice to meet you.” She introduced herself to the volus.
“Taleeze, what brings you to the Citadel, are you here for a longer stay?” When the barkeep arrived she went for a Golden Moonshine, nothing too hard at this time already. “Nah, I’m here for the first time actually. People say the place is a riot and true, the architects did an awesome job!”

Druss looks over to Taleeze, quickly responding to her "*hssk* Oh, I just moved to the uhh, station." Druss breifly considered what drink to get, speaking to Taleeze again "*hssk* Well, what would you suggest? *hssk* Was gonna get a 'Thessian Temple' but not sure of the prices here.". Druss looks over at Arina after ". . . *hssk* So, you two know each other?" Her eyes would focus back on the fish tank again, a fish about as big as she was staring back at her.

Taleeze chuckled at the price concern of the volus (who hadn’t introduced herself yet). “I think a Thessian Temple is quite good per se, so let’s see if they make a nice one here.” She ordered two with the barman, one for herself. ”Yeah, we’ve met in the past. Every time I’m on the Citadel we seem to run into each other…” she realized how that must have sounded. “Sorry, no pun intended. But we have some common friends as well as we found out and you are correct Arina, I should have called you. But that trip was a bit on short notice. It’s business mostly, Actually even me being here is business, I have bought shares in a Casino on Nevos and this is a benchmarking trip for the big boss. He wants my creative input. And he was more than happy when I got him a deal with the APU as an official fan spot.” She grinned, obviously proud of herself. She paid attention to what the barman was doing. The drinks arrived and looked quite impressive and colourful, the presentation was first class.

"*hssk* Oh cool, you play Pildavi? What team?" Druss realizes soon after that, yes, she hadn't introduced herself. Holding one stubby arm out to Taleeze, now facing her, she'd do just that. "*hssk* Druss Jorkakt. Uhh, yeah. *hssk* So, uhh Arina, what do you uhh, do?" She takes a look at her drink, taking a sip of it as she looks at Arina.

"Nice to meet you." Taleeze took the hand but laughed a bit. "No, no, I am not active anymore. I played during my university time, for the Monoi Wildkats, midfielder. That was about a century ago. Buit I still follow the league of course and have friends here and there" Those few that still were alive, which caused her mouth to twitch a little bit. "The ballgame never leaves you but nowadays I rather stick to fun matches. You follow it yourself?"

Arina took a sip of her Moonshine as she listened to Taleeze’s enthusiasm about her beloved ballgame.
“I work at the asari embassies. I’ve been on the Citadel since the reopening, been here and there before.” That was usually all she would let out at first. “What about you, you said you’re new to the Citadel. Are you here on business?” She asked Druss.

The volus would be facing Arina after letting go of Talleze's hand, her moth speaking before her brain processes what she's going to say. "*hssk* Oh, which embassy?" Not noticing her own error, Druss continues on. "*hssk* I moved here for a job, security guard at a Cision Motors in Tayseri ward. *hssk* That and I wanted to see the Citadel and all that." Druss looks over to Taleeze after.
"*hssk* Oh, well I kinda used to be a fan of the Pulsars, but stopped watching a few years ago. *hssk* Just got boring I guess." She soon realizes the inadvertent insult. "*hssk* Uhh, not to say it's boring, but err . . . *hssk* Well I'm- er, just don't keep up with it alot. Now." Druss sips on her drink again, feeling rather ok, compared to her visit to the Spacer's Dive.
