30th of Spring
Another day, another mediocre poison, another numb hand. This cycle was annoying her more and more the longer she stayed in it. For once, she wanted to make something for a actual customer and not someone sent by the Ebonstryfe.
It was boring! They didn't attack or threaten her since they were low-ranking and they wouldn't get away with trying to kill a poisoncrafter. They also had no reason to; The transactions literally were like shopping for groceries and were not like underhandedly selling poisons.
She wanted flair and excitement! She wanted dangerous customers that didn't kill her for the sole reason of they wanted her poisons in the future or the fact that she could kill them first. Neither of those reasons seemed to apply right now.
Was it a bad thing? For her thirst for excitement? Yes. But for her purse? No. She made decent enough money since she got an official job as a poisoncrafter and she would take that over sleeping in the street and eating maybe once a day like she used to.
Nevertheless, she wouldn't say anything to anyone but herself and just hope that one day she'll become so good at what she does that the type of people will come to her.
At the moment, she was squeezing a vine she bought in the market with a tool from her mother's old poisoncrafter's kit, hoping it would be better than what she had been doing and, surprisingly, it was. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad without a teacher.
A knock at her door made her jump and knock the table hard, causing her dish to flip and spill. Maybe she needed a teacher to steel her nerves. She didn't dwell on the thought as her curiosity was more than peaked at having a visitor. Who the hell would be at her home at this time? Who would know where the door is and be able to reach it is a better question. |
