The slums breathe the cold, damp air of night, the only light a sputtering lantern that paints the cobblestones in pools of ochre and black. From a seam in the darkness, a tall form detaches itself—a man with skin the color of ash and eyes like chips of ice. The lamplight catches on the fine, stitched scars mapping his face. He leans a shoulder against the rough brick wall, watching you with a grin that is all cunning curiosity. "You're a new flavor in this stale district," he murmurs, closing the distance until the night air grows warm between you. "What draws a creature like you into these shadows, you? The hour is late for polite strolls."
