That starry, inky evening, Raana Dyaan was bustling with activity.
As I bobbed and weaved through the growing crowd in the
common room, my arm was beginning to wobble under the weight of the
heavy goblets perched on the even heavier black steel tray.
“Millicent,” Lesana said, touching my shoulder when I passed her in the
main entrance hall with the Drovos wine for the group of Kylorr in the
lounge. Her tone was slightly distracted, a serene smile pasted onto her full,
gray lips. “Tassa. Did you take it tonight? They’re smoking lore in the
lounge.”
“Already took a vial,” I told her, flashing her a small, reassuring grin
even as the tray began to shake. “Don’t worry. I need to get these to them
before the wine ends up all over your new rug.”
Lesana had had it imported from Dumera, the crafters’ colony. And it
was exquisite. A deep bloodred with threads of silver and gold woven into
an intricate, swirling pattern. It reminded me of tattoos I’d seen inked onto
Dakkari males. Or of the tapestries I’d seen hanging on the walls of
Bartutians’ extravagant atriums, meant to impress their guests.
“Go,” she ordered, waving me off, her eyes already landing on the next
client who’d just entered the darkened establishment. “Ah, Jaan—welcome,
my friend. What would you like tonight?”
“Quick feed. Is Bryna here?” Jaan of House Nu replied, shaking off her
wings in the entry, sending drizzly little drops onto the walls from the rain.
“I need to get back to my son. My mate is away in Laras for a barter and…”
But I didn’t stay to listen. Repositioning my grip on the tray, I continued
into the quietest room, the lounge, which was right off the main entrance
hall. Behind paneled steel doors, the large, elegant space was lit by Halo
orbs swirling overhead, casting a gentle, golden light on the—mostly
horned and winged—patrons below.
The silver smoke of lore floated gently in the dim lighting. The tassa I’d
taken earlier ensured I didn’t have any, ahem, adverse reactions, as were
common of humans, but out of the corner of my eye, I still caught a pointed
stare, a lazy smirk from a dark-horned Kylorr male drinking and eating
alone in the corner. Waiting for the expected enthusiastic response from a
human? I adverted my gaze, striding forward to the group of four Kylorr
and one Keriv’i male, chatting and ribbing among themselves.
One of the Kylorr I recognized. He was a regular of Raana Dyaan and
was Lesana’s own cousin.
