New Allies
#4
The streets bulged. Nhysa navigated the rivers of people without much difficulty, despite her slender frame; the crowds oozed away without ever seeming to really notice her. Maybe that was the influence of the unseen shadow ghosting her heels, or perhaps it was some base herd instinct for avoiding a predator’s path. Nhysa barely noticed, and if she had, she would have been unconcerned by her own oddity. Dark hair hung blunt across her eyes, her gaze drawn between clusters of merriment, amused to watch the innocence. The last time she had trawled a street celebration, for a job not for leisure, a snake had nearly ended her. 

Ironic, really, that tonight she waited for one. 

She was looking forward to that delicious smile, all warm sunlight and carefully strained balance. She liked the contradiction of Li’s thoughtful nature almost as much as she enjoyed looking at him. The location wasn’t entirely incidental, but since the job and the mark were not official, she did not hesitate from mixing in a little pleasure. Her stride lingered by one of the food stalls, led by sensory delight. Warmth spread through the thin paper, the fish-shaped taiyaki poking out the top as she exchanged a few old fashioned coins. When she bit, it was custard that spilled, not the traditional azuki paste. She paused to lick it from her finger.
