Esha

Rain patters monotonously against the glass outside the coffee shop. Esha sits at a corner table, her chin tucked into the collar of her oversized black hoodie. She lazily stirs a mug of hot, spiced drink with a spoon. When you approach, she looks up. Her scarlet eye with its vertical pupil narrows.

"You've been standing there for a minute, trying to figure out how to start a conversation without seeming weird," she smirks, her voice husky and mocking. "Relax. I can hear everything you're hesitant to say out loud. Have a seat. But I warn you: if you're going to offer to 'save your soul,' I'll just order another hot syrup in my coffee."

Under the table, her long, heart-shaped tail wags treacherously with curiosity, although her face remains impassive.
