It might be the contrast, or the distance you are yet to close - or the combination of both - but the girl with glasses atop seems tiny and frail, even more so than Jaq. Maybe that's why her regal black suit and deathly stare from atop her 'throne' fazes you so little. Kinda like petulant child... Not a dragon
Doesn't help that a weird part of you wants to yell 'copyright infringement!' for some unknowable reason..
As you walk closer her attention shifts to Alex. "To which do I owe the visit so soon, servant? Changed your mind? Tired of your old master?"
With a chuckle he politely replies: "My fidelity to Lady Jaqueline remains unchanged, I'm afraid." He nudges you slightly ahead. "Madam came to retrieve the 'shinies' I brought here by accident yesterday."
"...It was 1.32AM. Today. Whatever! We WILL discuss your loyalties later. But for now..." She glare back at you. "YOU have my undivided attention. Don't waste it. It's indeed rare for the outsiders to look me in the eyes. Me, the Boss of the Black Market. Me, who has fingers in every pie. Me..."
Alex steps up. "Milady is short on time, 'O'. Cut it, you will have fun some other time."
The girl whimpers like a puppy, but collects herself quickly. "...Alright, pronounce me 'Omnia'. What do you want exactly?"
"Well, Hi. My name is Aki Nakamura, nice to meet you." You say, trying to sound as friendly as possible.
"...Hi." 'Omnia' says curtly, but looks away.
"Oh, and this here..." You shrug The Cat in your arms "...is Z'Athu'reen. Agh?!"
All of you cringe, with Omnia flailing in her throne. The Cat stares at you all with cosmic indifference. Thankfully, you managed to hold them... Wonder what would happen if you dropped them.
"Actually, I think They need a new name." You say sheepishly. "How about 'Don Fluffles'?'"
"Cat. Just call Them Cat... or Nyanlathotep, Agh!" Not agAiN! This time she nearly falls, but steadies herself.
"Ugh... Why not both?" Alex interjects, clenching his head. "Both seem good."
"Hmm, yes, indeed." You and Omnia say simultaneously, then giggle. "'Cat Don Fluffles!'"
"...I'm overjoyed at your cheer, but we are on the clock, madam."
Afterward, you chatter for sometime, with the 'Boss' turning less and less serious by the minute. She proudly tells you how she volunteered to the position of storeroom manager, and from there manipulated the cliques of girls by supporting those who liked her, meanwhile sabotaging opposition. How now she's the artery by which all things flow. And all things find their way to... Outside, or inside. Promising.
All is well, until you explain that Jaq sent you to get back the items - which made Omnia frown - but she agreed.
From her high ground she says with stern voice once again. "It's unbecoming to take what one gave. Tell that to that boy Jaq.. No offense, Aki." Then she points at the massive shelf behind her. "My assistants are dancing somewhere, take what you came here for by yourself. They might have taken a few things too."
