Jena probably did look very intimidating, but inside she was a mess of emotions wondering what this man wanted and if she'd have to scare him like she did the last idiots. She hated showing what she really was, and conjuring a large panther to chase away scoundrels wasn't exactly well known among normal pretty women.
Her eyebrow quirked a bit as he started but stopped his sentence before he got too far. 'Are you' sounded a lot like the start of 'are you free tonight' so that did nothing to put down her panic. However, his next sentence threw all that away and she stared at him, obvious surprise in her eyes.
"This place welcomes all who are troubled with who they are. We are a family here and we do not mind extending it for those who are interested." she tilted her head to the side. "By different... how do you mean?

All who are troubled with who they are, she said. Well, that wasn't his problem. He was just fine...when he was in his normal skin. Rhys rubbed his arm absently, for a second needing the comfort of what he knew was underneath the fabric. But he had to decide on how to answer. Did he outright ask her what she was, or reveal himself?
"I mean...special. Maybe..not human?" he glanced aside when he heard some shrieks and giggles as off a little ways the group of children, including the little girl with her unicorn, ran by. "Even magical?" he murmured as he looked back to Jena, his golden gaze serious and intense as he watched for how she took his reference.

As quiet as a mouse, all Jena could do was wait for his answer. She could tell he grew nervous, so that made her all the more curious. Fingering her hair as she watched him, now letting herself freely look him up and down. He was very handsome, beautiful even. His hair, for some odd reason, made her want to run her fingers through it.
Catching what he said, barely, she smiled. "Define magical," she trailed off and stepped forward and brought a flower up to poke his chin with it; it was a violet tulip. "Something easily explained as illusion or," another one appeared next to that, obviously winking into existence. "True magic."

His eyes narrowed and he frowned at the flower, pretty as it was, when she poked him with it the first time. Then the second one appeared and he completely relaxed, his shoulders slumped visibly as she asserted she understood what he was asking and was willing to answer. A small smirked curved the right corner of his mouth as he reached up to pluck the first flower from her hand.
"Tried and true." he stated, holding the flower up between his fingers and letting a small flame start at the point where his fingers pinched the stem. As the fire worked it's way up the flower he glanced to her, and just as it completely consumed the flower he blew on the flames, quenching them and revealing the flower completely unharmed.
He reached out and tucked it behind her ear. "Do I pass?"

Jena's face turned from stoic to pleasantly surprised as a smile curved his features, brightening him up from awkward to just plain charming; and she barely noticed the flower getting plucked from her hand, though her eyes nearly crossed to look between them to see where it went.
Once she caught sight of it, Jena's eyes lit up with wonder as a flame began to engulf her pretty flower. It was rather pretty really and, fond of fire as she was, she couldn't tear her eyes away from the sight before her. She jumped when he blew on it and the flame disappeared, showing just how enthralled she had been.
A blush forming on her cheeks when he tucked that flower behind her ear, she stared at him. "Y-yes," She squeaked, her voice lost. Shaking her head, she tried to recompose herself, but the blush wouldn't leave and, thankfully, her voice seemed to be back. "That was beautiful."

She seemed to have liked his fire very much and the red shade entered her cheeks again. It was...charming, that's how humans describe these things right? He tilted his head in a very bird-like manner as he studied her trying recompose herself.
"Thank you." he accepted the compliment and smiled again. "I liked your dancing because it reminded me of the flames." he said, finally feeling alright explaining that.

Oh, still her ever fluttering heart! If he smiled like that again she may have to hide somewhere in fear of her face decided to stay red for eternity. She'd never been around anyone who was a charmer, handsome and didn't seem to actually want to do anything 'dirty' with her. Clearing her throat, she bit her lip and turned so that only her profile was visible to Rhys.
"I like fire," she said, looking to her hands. "I always have. It's wild, entrancing; it dances its own life. Though it can be just as dangerous as it is beautiful." Jena glanced over to Rhys and suddenly ended up standing directly in front of him, almost nose to nose. "What are you, a magician? Alchemist? Fire caller?"
She couldn't help her curiosity and, well, being with someone like her in this boring time of her day was enough to bring forth her more 'younger' like personality traits. He guesses were probably annoying and far from the truth, but...
"Phoenix?"

He was enjoying listening to her as she described fire, and was at first amused as she tried to guess what he was. Honestly, it had a youthful feel he did not encounter often in humans, if she even was one. And he had claimed to be at least one of those at one point. Plus, the guessing game was fun.
Phoenix.
He blinked and tensed slightly, completely take a back by how quickly phoenix came up in her list. Most people didn't know a phoenix had the ability to look human. If she was making the guess, she had to know.
"I-ah...Yes?"

Jena, ever curious, stared at Rhys when he spoke and she tilted her head to the side. "Phoenix..." she said, now making a circle around Rhys as she eyed him up and down. "I had heard rumors about Phoenixes becoming human, but I've never seen one face to face before." That alone probably showed she wasn't as youthful as her appearance.
In fact, she was quite old in years, but she never went by years. Years sucked.

He frowned as she began circling him. He understood the curiosity, but he didn't like being viewed as an object. He crossed his arms and as she walked around him he twisted to follow her. She knew more than he thought, but that also meant there was no point in denying the rumors now that she knew what he was. "Only a few do." he admitted. Pride often stopped many from learning the skill. "If you heard that...You aren't what you seem either." he stated as they went back to facing each other.
He fixed his eyes on her and leaned a little close, pretending to inspect her back.
"Why don't you tell me what you are, dancing girl?"

It was Jena's turn to stiffen as the question was thrown back at her. Blinking her vivid eyes, she stared at him for a moment, then sighed and gave a roll of those violet gems. "Dancing girl, I have a name, you know." she said and gave him an exasperated look. "Jena is my name and I am a Jinn, or genie, whichever you prefer."

He nodded and backed off, straightening. "A jinn. It's been a long time since I've met one of you as well." He half-smiled at the exasperated look she was shooting him with. "And I didn't mean to offend. I just had no name for you." he glanced aside and rubbed at his forearm again.
"But it is a pleasure to meet you, Jena." he greeted her properly, bowing a bit while his accent playedoff her name. "I'm Rhys."

Jena waved a hand at Rhys. "You didn't offend me at all, just your choice of 'dancing girl', amused me."
At his bow, she tilted her head, surprised by the formality of it. She wasn't used to that at all. Jena broke into a smile and curtsied. "And it is a pleasure to meet you, Rhys." she replied, head tilting to the side, showing that she still had that flower behind her ear.

He smiled lightly. "Well then, I'll be careful to avoid using such a general title on you later." His sharp eyes focused on that flower. It was pretty and it suited her, the purple matching her dark skin and orange clothing very well. In fact, the combination of colors had a very...phoenix-like mix. "That looks nice." he murmured in reference to the flower. Then he cleared his throat and glanced aside.
"So. I had another question...would I be able to stay here for a bit?"

Jena gave a soft laugh in reply to Rhys' comment and waved her hand again, her eyes already dancing in merriment. Though his sudden compliment about the flower caught her off guard, yet again. Blushing, she stared at him for a few seconds in stunned silence, before looking to the side as well, but opposite him. "Th-thank you..."
Composing herself, she smoothed her skirts and smiled at him, though her blush was a fading pink, but still present. "Of course you can. You can stay as long as you like," she tapped her chin. "Like I said, we are a family and love new members."
