AV 511, Fall 21
The morning sun shone through the beams of an old wooden shack, it’s light outlining a shadowy figure that was seemingly sat at a broken, battered table. A woman with long auburn hair and strikingly cold, silver eyes gulped down the final drops of an expensive looking wine produce. Placing the empty bottle down hard on to the splintered table she would pick up a slab of sloppy raw meat and dangle it low above her mouth. Vreneralesh began to chew the meat, her fingers and lips stained with it’s juicy red content, before long her jaw grew tired and began to ache and after only a few moments of chewing she swallowed the chunk of soft meat whole. The woman hacked violently as the muscles in her human gullet barely managed to contract her meal down. Lesh groaned, three years she had had to imitate human society in order to stay hidden and eating habits were by far the hardest, chewing food before swallowing was still unfathomable to her.
A sudden knock at the door caused the Dhani to stand in alert, pausing silently as if in an attempt to stay hidden. A few moments passed and then another knock came “...Lesh...a-are you in there!?” Vreneralesh sighed and lowered her guard a little, she knew that voice all too well. She approached the door casually yet cautiously and pulled back slightly on the rusted handle, opening the shack door just enough to see her visitor. “L-lesh, long time no see... hehehe... keeping well now are we?” A short, fat man stood at her doorway his face was horribly deformed and he lurched over as if suffering from sort of chronic back pain. “...Vinel... can’t say I'm too pleased to see you, what are you doing here?” Lesh replied, her common slightly accented though more or less perfectly structured. “Oh come now... how long have we known each other for, won’t you let in an old friend?” The Dhani ignored his comment but opened the door wide for the deformed man to enter.
A little while later~
“So the assassins guild has started back up and they require my help? …Can’t say I’m interested, I’ve escaped death’s clutch far to many times to go out looking for it again...” Vinel laughed, a disgusting, husky noise that no living being in Mizahar should ever have to hear, his facial expression difficult to read under his distorted features. “...and so you will continue making a living from what? Selling your gob to a crazy herbalist that pays you in pocket money? Don’t make me laugh...” Vinel replied hysterically as he wiped the beads of sweat from his creased forehead. “How did you-” Lesh paused mid-sentence, it was obvious that the old assassins guild had kept tabs on her. “Either way I’m not interested, now get out...” The Dhani gestured for Vinel to leave with a wave of the hand. The deformed man frowned disappointingly and began to make his way toward the door of the shack, “You look like you could use a good meal, have you been eating well? Perhaps I should provide some food... you know-”, “You’re right, I haven't eaten anything decent in a while, perhaps a man of your consistency could satisfy my hunger? Now get out...” Lesh growled at Vinel, her expression as stoic as usual whilst pushing the wooden door to a close behind him. “If you change your mind you know where to find me... you were joking about that stuff of me satisfying your hunger, r-right?” Vinel seemed to ask worriedly but before he could get an answer the door was slammed shut on his face.
After a short while of simply contemplating what the deformed man had to say Lesh left her run down shack of a house and ventured out in to the city of Ravok.
