The streets of Ost'in'isilme'mela are slightly more dangerous than they were the last time it was inhabited. This is because the city and its songs have gathered a collection of fighters, not all of them with honour, who it hopes will protect it from attacks in the future. For this reason, most people tend to stay indoors, where the thugs tend to stay away from due to the light. Other than this minor detail, the streets are beautiful, always clean and normally brightly lit, they provide a brilliant way to spend your time with someone providing you don't venture too far from the light.

Skeksys stalked through the streets like a wraith, watching for anything that could be deemed suspicious. As always there were couples all over the place, some of them talking, some of them making out, others just walking around in each other's presence. He scowled at them all for he had not found anyone who would accept him for who he was. He paused outside the Moons Cafe but decided against going inside. He didn't feel like being around people at this time so he just continued to walk in silence, watching, waiting for something to happen, for someone to threaten the peace.

Venesa watched the man, knowing he was the one to form the 'police force' for the city. Watching him, she knew he was just like her, not wlecome because of what he was, she stepped into the light and called to him "Would you like some company?" she asked in a sweet voice hoping it wouldn't be another time she was almost killed for asking such a thing

Skeksys heard the voice and laughed. Somehow he knew she was talking to him. When he turned, there was a smile on his face, it was a rare occurrence but somehow it looked like it belonged. "You know how bad that could sound." He said, his voice showing almost no emotions. "I would love some company though." He waited for her, switching his mind into analysis mode so that he might be able to tell something about her by the way that she moved.

She moved slowly towards him, a little warry, but knew he wouldn't bring harm to her "I know how you took it. Ikind of thought of that after I said it." she smiled softly her black wolf ear twitching and tail swaying gently as she stopped before him

Skeksys watched her approach and his smile changed to almost a forlorn one before it disappeared entirely. He looked her up and down, not entirely recognising her but knowing that he probably had heard of her. She looked like she could be dangerous but she sounded sweet and he could generally judge a person by their voice. "Do you have any place that you wish to go or are we going to continue walking?" He asked, dropping his voice into a deeper and smoother tone, one that inspired trust.

She dropped her head "I have no where to go. I thought perhaps we could just walk, and I know what your thinking. She's dangers cause she's a wolf, but i'll tell you know, i'm not." she trusted him since he hadn't attacked her, but wanted him to be a little more relaxed around her. Her head lifted and she oustreache dher hand "My name is Venesa." she said with a smile, her other hand touching the cold cross inlayed with rubys hanging from her choker

"I didn't actually think you were dangerous because of that." He said quietly. "It's the way you moved." He explained. He would explain further if she wanted him to but for now, this was sufficient. He took her hand softly and lifted it to his mouth while he bowed. After he had kissed her hand he looked back up to her. "It is a pleasure to meet you Venesa. I am Skeksys." He said before letting go of her hand. He gestured with his hand for her to start walking with him and continued on his rounds.

She followed, her hands held behind her as she wrung her fingures. She wasn't used to physical contact, but liked it. "What did you mean," she started softly "by the way I move, do I not walk like others?" her voice was as silk, her red eyes questioning as she looked up at him. she quickly stratened her black dress and her fingures once again found the delicate gold metal of her cross.

Skeksys thought about how to put what he had seen. "You move as if the world is against you and you are constantly expecting an attack. Not only do people attack people who move like that but it also means that if you get startled, you may over-react." He said, speaking from experience. There had been two people who he had seen in situations like that. One had attacked when a street-seller had offered him something, the other had panicked while being attacked and made herself a much easier target. He noticed her cross for the first time now and wondered why her hands had gone for it. He realised that she had done the same when he had kissed her hand. "May I ask what the cross means?" He asked politely. He gestured for her to turn down one of the slightly wider alleys that they had come to. It was part of his patrol even though it was one of the less dangerous areas.

she hesitated a moment at the ally, realizing he was telling the truth. "The world is against me, for what I am. I try not to over-react, just retreat." she whispered and forced her hand from the cross. "My cross is only that. I've always been fascented with them, my entire life. I know in the land of sun, it is a representation of something that does not exstis, but I see it, a hope?" she said the last word as a question, trying to decide if it was the right word "Yes hope, that perhaps some day, I'll be welcomed, as my kind once was before the attack."

"I'm not against you." Skeksys said softly, almost to himself. He didn't know whether she would hear it but hoped she would. He looked at her after her mention of attack. "You were here before us, weren't you?" He asked, suddenly seeming more interested than before although this was not entirely the case. He had now stopped in the alley and leaned against a wall. He wanted to talk without the world listening.

her wolf ears perked at his words, and she settled to sit on the ground across from him taking her tail in her hands and stroking it to flatten the fur "I was here before the attack, just a child, everything's changed so much since then, I wish it would go back to the way it used to be." she lookd up, tucking her silver hair behind and ear her crimson eyes pained

Terry Emerald had just been patrolling the city when he happened to catch the Venasa's last words. "Heh, and I was informed that everyone had been killed in the city." he said making sure not to be hidden but to present himself. "I guess people just like to talk.

((Last post for tonight.)) He slid down the wall and sat across from her. "What was it actually like before the attack? I've never actually heard anything about it. I know now it is slightly dangerous in places but I thought that was just from the way the world is." He said, stumbling over his words from the excitement of meeting someone who actually knew entirely what it was like.
