At Virena Village ...
Kaien and Fenra reached inn that day . Kaien rented the room under the false name . Fenra sat by the window, staring at the city .
" I used to think the gods hated us . " She said . " Now I think they just don't care . "
Kaien glance at his reflection in the mirror.
" Indifference is the God's greatest mercy . If they care , we'd suffer on purpose. "
Kaien and Fenra both went to the market .
As they walked , it reek of something raw .
Mud , Sweat , Blood and Cheap wine .
Fenra followed him like a ghost . Thin , Fragile , and Wolf ear on her head dropped as if gravity itself had given up on her.
She looked at him as if seeing him for the first time . " You sound like him ."
" Who ? "
" Mikal . He said something similar . "
Kaien chuckled softly, " Of course, he did . Tyrants and Philosophers always share vocabulary. The difference is what they do with the truth . "
She said nothing. Her eyes spoke too much already.
" Stay here. " Kaien said , his tone detached.
She forze and obedient .
He stepped into the general shop -- a crooked wodden place run by a plump man who smelled of dried fish and profit .
" Need a bucket . " Kaien said . " Something decent . "
The shopkeeper eyed his ragged cloak and katana at his side . " You planning to drown someone or clean them ? "
Kaien's lips curved faintly . " Depend how dirty they are . "
The man laughed nervously and fetched a small iron banded wooden bucket . " Good quality . Two sliver. "
" And also woman's clothes . Small size . "
The man shuffled nervously and fetched a small plain cotton dress and a pair of sandals that looked barely worn .
" Three sliver for clothes . Total five silver ." The man said.
Kaien dropped four coins on the counter .
" She's not worth five coins yet . "
The shopkeeper didn't argue . The air around Kaien was too still , too dangerous .
When they returned to the inn ,Kaien set the bucket on the floor and filled it with water from the jug . Fenra stood quietly hands clasped in front of her . Her wolf ears twitched when he turned to her.
"Wash, " he said simply , then tossed her the clothes .
She caught them clumsily , " You ... bought this for me . "
He sat on the edge of the bed , resting his elbow on his knee . " Don't overthink it . You'll make the room smell less . "
Her eyes lowered , but lips curved faintly --- something almost like a smile. She took the bucket and slipped behind the wooden screen , the sound of splashing water faint and rhythmic.
Kaien leaned back , watching the candle light flicker on the walls . His reflection in the blade looked unfamiliar -- a sharper ,colder . A man reborn not by blessing but by spite .
When Fenra emerged , her silver damp and her new dress hanging loosely on her frame ,she looked more human than before.
Her ears twitched again when he looked at her .
" Sit . " He said , gesturing to the floor near the bed . She obeyed without hesitation.
" Tomorrow. " He muttered . " We moved out of this inn . And go to see the town and we're lucky . We'll kill Mikal . "
Fenra's voice was barely a whisper . " Master... May I sleep ? "
Kaien closed by eyes . " Do what you want .
Just don't die . "
He heard her curl up on the floor , quiet and small . The faint scent of soap filled the room mingling with night air .
As Kaien drifted toward sleep , he glanced once more at girl then at the bucket beside her .
