damn it. usually, the harbor’s bustling crowd would have helped him blend in seamlessly…but this was not ectabana, whose noise and shifting human tides he knew like the back of his hand. aden was a different beast entirely, smaller but sat on its haunches like a wyrm squatting over its treasure hoard. he should have been more careful, certainly, but it was no use crying over spilled milk. 

with a deep breath, khalid composed his face into a proper apologetic look, gave his head a quick shake so the brim of his hat would cast a convenient shadow over the upper half of his face, and stepped out from the streetside shadow he’d been slinking along the edges off. 

❛ ‘pologies, sayyida, ❜ he chirped, his voice dipping into the thick accent of ectabana’s downtown quarters. while it still sounded not quite right in this foreign city, it was certainly less out of place than the crisp diction his tutors had taught him to speak with. if he'd been caught, he could at least make a valiant effort at not giving himself away within the first five minutes of this conversation. ❛ i just thought i overheard some friend of yours talking ‘bout how you were looking for crew. i was just wondering, is that still true? ❜
