As far as Kai was aware, Belleteyn was but another piece of people that had gotten snatched up by humans for the sake of their own debauchery. The notoriously fickle fertility of female elves made such a festival necessary in the hope of keeping their bloodlines alive. Humans, however, were undeservingly fertile at all times of the year if the state of the city was anything to go by.
Still, it did not dissuade him from indulging in his baser needs. Like the ever-growing hunger for excitement and connection. Ever since meeting the cackling mage, Kai had begun to do some soul searching for this chaos she kept mentioning. Did he have bugs under his skin? Had he been suppressing an unyielding desire to burst at the seams?
Sometimes, he surely felt bored enough to, but that was what all the sex was for, right? So what if he abstained? Kai tinkered with this idea while a pretty woman in transparent silks played with his hair. Another woman had made a nest against his side, her dark skin smooth and bare and another was doling out chalaces of fine wine, her cheeks already ruddy with drink.
"So ladies, I've got a very special friend coming in tonight," he said, gesturing towards them with his cup. "He's an older gentleman who's been out of the game for quite some time so you do be gentle with him, alright?"
A sly smile stretched across his lips as his eyes narrowed into vulpine slits. "Unless he demands otherwise, then I'm certain you know what to do."
The girls all giggled approvingly, clinking glasses and fawning over Kai's mischievous plans as if he were their pack leader. He very could've been in the elaborate garb he'd chosen that evening, but this Belleteyn was not his this year.
"Now remember, I had left him a message to come to Passiflora tonight under the guise of an urgent meeting about a man who'd gone missing at the docks. Scarlett, you go down and greet him," Kai instructed, glancing over his shoulder at the one that had been braiding a lock of his hair. "Tell him this is the least conspicuous place you can speak and to hurry."
Scarlett nodded obediently and scurried up onto her feet, tugging a sheer robe up over her shoulders as she made to leave.
"Oh, and bring us another bottle of wine, will you?" Kai added, just as she disappeared out the door. We're going to need it."
