It's Pronounced "Tiefling" - OTA
Zahra needed to get a lay of the land now that she had arrived and things seemed to have calmed down a little. She was sure leaving the room would worry Kash, but she had only ventured out a few times briefly and now it felt right. She had filled him in on everything that she knew happened back home, spent many days enjoying the marvel of hot baths on demand, and discovered what a 'TV' was and tried to get some idea of what this plane was like. Now it was time to experience it for herself.
Zahra did not hide what she was. The red-skinned Tiefling wore a grey dress with a hole cut and sewn to allow her tail freedom of movement behind her. She decided to leave her staff behind, but she had done so after a lot of thought. The humans here didn't need to see her walking around with a weapon, but she felt naked and vulnerable. Kash said they were safe and so she would lean on those words as she navigated the inn weaponless.
She found the pool, crouching down by the water and feeling the cool water against her fingers. She could smell something from the water that told her the water wasn't entirely pure. It took her some time to figure out it was a place to bathe or swim, like a lake in the middle of the forest. She did take note of the heated part of the pool.
Her next step was through the lobby to the bar. Taverns looked similar no matter what plane of existence you were on, it seemed. She felt her stomach growl and after a moment found her way to the restaurant. She ordered the chicken because it reminded her of Scanlan.
After her meal she found her way to the library. There were not as many books as there was in Whitestone or even the Slayer's Take, but there were many. She started to peruse.
Her last stop was to Vex's room. She knocked and waited patiently.
(ooc: Find her anywhere. She has white eyes with no pupil or iris and horns on her head.)

She nodded with a thought 'hm' sound.
"Well, it was nice to meet you, Molly. I did promise Kash I would check in with him every once in a while until he gets used to the idea I'm not going anywhere." She knew he'd worry if she was late, as silly as it was.

The monster that she continuously chained wanted to lash out, but the idea was ruthlessly pushed aside. Instead the shield slammed back shut and the mask came down into place, a warm smile played across her features. She was getting really good at playing a part, something she’d honed in Chicago with Harry’s death.
“You definitely don’t want him to worry that you left, especially since you just got here. I need to get going, too, almost time for work.” She was also a damn good liar. She needed to run through the hurt and the pain and come out the other side with a friendship with Kash intact. The kicker was that she actually liked Zahra. It seemed the Fates really hated her.

Molly was quite a good liar. Zahra simply nodded, unaware that she had said something she shouldn't have, and offered one last smile. "I hope to see you around, Molly. Perhaps we can share notes on our magics."
And then she moved away, headed for where Kash said he would be to update him.
