Fiorella de Marco, currently hidden under her alias as Dawn Mayflower, was leaning against a nearby weathered concrete pillar, turning her head slightly in the direction of her arriving companion. She was wearing an unbuttoned dark red leather jacket with a black tank top under it, dark blue jeans and suede dark ankle-length boots. Her long and glossy raven wing colored hair was braided in a loose ponytail over her left shoulder and her eyes were hidden behind large and round mirror shades. Accessories like a belt in the same colour as her shoes and a watch on her left hand were commonplace, as were her earrings, several thin chains adorning her neck, and several bracelets on her right hand made of white gold. However, due to the restrictions based on her false identity, she was not visibly armed although some small firearm could easily be concealed in her leather jacket.
Even here, disguised as a Manhattan civilian, there was something strange about her body language and movements, something that was her own and not quite human. She stood there, watching him for several long seconds with a facial expression hidden mostly behind her mirrored shades until, with slow and unnaturally fluid movements, Fiorella straightened her posture and untangled herself from the concrete column she was leaning against. She clearly had all the time in Sirius as she approached him with her light, cautious, but also barely audible steps.
"I bid you a good day, Mister Doe."
Fiorella greeted her companion with the universal pseudonym, her peculiar accent placing melodic emphasis on every vowel. As always, she took care to pronounce each word - speaking slowly and deliberately - a stark contrast to the usual hurried and simplistic speech in Liberty.
"It seems that our nation is rather disorderly these days, is it not? Would you mind if I sit down and join you, Mister Doe?"
She picked up the hoverbike helmet decorated with several yellow roses and examined it before carefully donning it on her head and buttoning up its strap under her chin.
