In the Alphabet of Milliways, D stands for Disgruntled, which applies frequently to various patrons and various other members of the bar's clientele. It's a frequently used label.

So when the bar door opens to reveal an airport and a figure dressed all in black wielding a military issue duffel and a very uncomfortable look on his face, the mun invites you to use this label liberally.

Christopher Muldoon did not think it would be this hard. He was warned yes, but...well...he took it with a grain of salt. upon realizing however that the terminal has turned into the bar-his face melts into a confused expression.

"...You'd better turn back before my flight." He mutters, "....But thanks."

Crowd too many people into an area and it's bound to get even the most average werewolf upset.

The scent of lotus blossoms would be easy to pick up, even to less sensitive senses of smell than his.

There might be hints of a sense of calm, of peace coming from the woman seated at a table nearby. There were also scents of jasmine from the tea, and the warm smell of almond from the cookies on a plate.

She watched him, and gave a respectful bow of greeting.

He never trucked with the Eastern Seaboard. He was a man from the Middle East. Too bad, he'd always kind of had a yen to see China and Japan. It just wasn't in the cards when you were told where to go.

So his movements are clumbsy as he tries to bow back and says, in broken arabic, "....Good Morning."

After a moment he looks a little sheepish, "...I don't suppose you'd speak English?"

Raised eyebrows at that.

"Ni hao," she responded in reply, and then added in English, "I can understand many languages. Whatever is needed."

"...Oh."
Right on!

"....Teacher?" He pauses, "From some universe or another?"

Small smile, "I can be at times, to those who wish to learn."

Muldoon snorts, "I could be horribly redneck right now, but I doubt that'd further my wit and exciting conversation."

That part's spoken mostly to himself. To her however he nods, "...What d'you teach? Languages?"

"Compassion, mercy. Enlightenment." And she seemed a bit brighter, her simple attire appeared super-imposed with the image of ceremonial robes, and a lotus blossom under her feet. Sometimes her features suggested a bearded man more than the woman currently speaking.

Muldoon blanks, completely, "....You're another one of those deities right?"

A split second later, and she's dressed in simple attire. Very plain and assuming in appearance.

"Some people imagine me as one, but the more proper term is bodhisattva. One who sought enlightenment, and returned to earth. To help others find the light as well."

Muldoon's face is still very blank and expressionless, "...Sorry Ma'am...I know church cause you kinda can't be a soldier without some idea of religion but...you lost me on Body-whosis?"

"Of course. Do you know anything of the Lord Buddha? Or The Jade Emperor of the Heavens?"

She then added, "As for the Westerners' church, I know of it. Some who also believe in it have compared me to their Maiden Mother Mary."

"..The second part's a bit more familiar then the first." Muldoon nods, "So you're kinda...a mother goddess figure?"

Right on.

"See I met one guy who was a bear god of these people from a whole other world so...Not too far fetched. Goddess of enlightenment and peace?"

"I do look after mothers and children as well. All people, but yes, my attentions go to them. And yes, basically. I listen and observe for the cries of those who need me. Who are suffering and in pain, and need comfort and guidance."

Muldoon's response to that?

A humorless and disbelieving snort. Coupled with a, "...Your counterpart must be slacking off in my world." muttered under his breath.
