Nissa had been sure to arrive early. She hadn't been able to determine for sure whether this was a legitimate business transaction or not, and somehow she didn't think asking would help matters. So here she was. A good hour's lead should let her scope things out, see if there was anyone lurking about the place, look for avenues of escape, that kind of thing. The strategy had never failed her yet, except that one time with the snakes, but a lot had gone wrong with that exchange and she was pretty sure nothing could have fixed it except perhaps not showing up at all. And that was not how she did things.
Unfortunately, this did mean she was left standing around for an hour trying not to look too suspicious, which wasn't that hard for someone of her stature and disposition, but it was a little wearing to have to think about what her every action might look like from the outside. She had been loudly drinking a smoothie for the last fifteen minutes, which helped. The noise was actually just because one of her fangs had nicked the straw in a funny way, but it doubled as inconspicuous conspicuousness, if that was a real thing. She had her doubts.
