Teaser 2
Simon watched in awe as the man danced. While he didn’t know the specific reason. He was also not one to really judge. For a hunter, being able to dance is definitely a unique skill. And there’s also the fact that he’s all dolled up. They’re on the outer wall, when the kid noticed him. And it was only by the good graces of Simon’s reflexes. That he didn’t go over, Simon leaned his own body weight back. So if they do fall, it would be with plenty of space on the wall. The normally cheery if not slightly angry kid. Looked a lot different right now, and it’s not just because he’s dressed up.
He looks almost indifferent and distant. “Simon? What’re you doing here?” Despite his almost monotone tone. There was a hint of genuine surprise. “Got a report of someone scaling the wall. Anyway, what’re YOU doing out here, is the real question.” The kid explained, blue eyes popping in the pale moonlight. “Well, I grew up in a renowned Pleasure House. When a courtesan is bought out. The others dance in his or her honor.” That surprised the hell out of Simon. Mainly because he’d thought he was thorough in his research. This however, proves he wasn’t even close to being thorough. And would need to update his methods and sources. “May I ask whom it was?” He sighed, “you may, but it’s no one you’d know.” Deadpanning him, this was all too much and making Simon’s head spin. It’s like he’s talking to a completely different person. Not the happy go lucky kid, whose ass he’d ridden a couple months ago. To try and prepare him for the migration. It made him wonder which facade is the real John MacTavish.
