Welcome to Gaia! ::

Making a face, she knelt down, sifting through her bag till she took out the iPod and little speaker. Hooking them in, she turned the iPod onto the song onto "Hips Don't Lie" by Shakira, and setting them down a few feet away from her.

Rolling her shirt up halfway so that her belly could be seen, she started moving to the music, her hips shifting to the song as her own voice melded with Shakira's, giving a distinc quality. Her voice was just as strong, but it had a deeper tone to it, each word punctuated by a shake of her a** or a twitch of her hips, the ruffles on the skirt flicking teasingly.

Shenzi stopped as he started talking, the music fading to the next song, which she quickly shut off before it could get to the words. Standing up again, she raised an eyebrow; it took her quite abit to keep her expression neutral with a small smirk. The dancing had killed her feet, and it was a little hard to stand straight.

"Well, I know more, but I'm kind've handicapped with these buggers..." She said, waving a hand at her feet. "And usually I don't sing over someone else's voice, but I didn't feel like putting one of my songs on." She shrugged slightly, somewhat bemused as he started mumbling on about poles. Does he want a stripper or something? She thought to herself, flicking her hair with her hands, sending droplets into the grass.

Shenzi gave an unladylike snort, crossing her arms across her chest as the smirk disappeared. "You want me to sing?" She asked, interrupting him; his indifferent tone bugged her. No one snipped her. She wasn't generally boastful, but she was proud of her dancing and singing. Probably better then he could do, at the very least.

"Odsouzeníhodný chobotnice(Damned octopus)..." She mumbled under her breath, but she fell silent as he spoke.

Shenzi's frowned deepend to a pretty scowl as he continued on, before she finally let out a heavy breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. "Find some friends? Start a band?" She asked quietly, her damp hair a curtain over her eyes. After a moment, she looked up, her eyes hard and cold. "I have a band, dammit! They're out there, living their ******** lives! 'Cus if you hadn't noticed, I'm kind've stuck in this s**t hole. And they're back in New York."

That had really pissed her off. She wasn't about to start a new band, that would feel like betraying Ed and Banzai! Besides, it wasn't like she'd met anyone that could play an instrument or even hold a note so far.

Taking another breath, she shut her eyes, calming herself down. No point in getting pissed off. She could always abuse a few pillows in her duplex when she got back. "Fine. Whatever. I'll get people, and we'll knock your damned beak off." Shenzi said, giving him another glare, scooping up her iPod, speaker, and shoving them into her bag.

She gave him a disgusted look; just like any other city person, she had to admit. But still... Heaving another sigh, she rolled her eyes upwards, picking up her hat from the rocks and shaking it out. "Sorry to say, Mr. Billy, I don't do bribes."

Slinging her bag over her shoulder, she looked back at him. "So is there anything else you care to... Impart to me?" Shenzi asked, her voice sarcastic.

She stiffened at what those words implied, and immediately stood up, one hand holding her skirt down, while giving him an icy look over her shoulder. "And you're not exactly my type, regardless." Shenzi retorted, giving off a loud harumph as she walked towards the path back to the village. Sure, when she had danced, she had done a more flirty sort, but for him to actually go on it... "Well, if you have nothing else to say, then I believe I'm done here."
