There had been considerable activity in his absence. nori provided a local newspaper for him as he sat at his table and eat breakfast. His black tunic did not have the last two latches locked in place so it hung open lightly. On the chair beside him rested his utility belt. nori bowed humbly and requested her departure so she may prepare the Inn for the day. He nodded gently as he reached for the mug of black ale resting next to his plate of half eaten breakfast. He frowned at the fury of activity over this ?Proposition 37? to regulate and register ?magical? beings.
He himself had always frowned on ?magic-users?. They were archaic at best. Manipulation of the Force was all it was ? energy is energy is energy. It breaks down how you understand and manipulate that energy. lani could be heard humming a gentle and dark tune as she entered the dinning chamber. The girl worked hard, and was up just before he was making sure his workout gear was ready for him. He straightened his neck as she reached behind and carefully latched up the last two catches of his tunic.
He turned the page to read the continuing story regarding the deaths over this proposed piece of legislature. He did chuckle a bit as he thought more about it, regulation of these people would not disturb him too much. It wasn?t like he was much for following the rules anyway. However, this ?M.E.R.C.? thing could become an issue. One that would need to be watched, he did not need them getting in his way.
He folded the paper and closed it, setting it on the table next to his breakfast. lani completed her task of finishing his uniform tunic by rubbing her hands along his shoulders to make sure there were no further ruffles or wrinkles. The murders however caught his attention, the signed letters ? the man was a bit brazen ? much like himself. A meeting with this man is in order.
In the end, this can all be used to work out in his favor. He stood up from the table, taking the plate of left over food and setting it on the floor then stepping away, gathering his belt from its resting place. He pulled it over his hips and fastened it just as two girls came crawling on all fours across the floor towards the plate. Their hair was a mess, their faces dirty. The collars were the only things they wore. The two were savage as they tried to get at the food that was left. It didn?t take long before the plate was empty. He watched them finish it off.
He reached down, and caressed each one gently with lani looking on with a dark smirk. As he left the dining hall, lani was hot on his heels as she began to make the morning report. The girls crawled back over to the corner and began to clean each other.
