A light wind tingled locks of silver left out for the first time to their own to breathe. Not even the night could hide away the life of the bursting city. A line of yellow tinted the starry sky, the lights tainting what darkness could have shaded rounded filthy cobble. Streets repleted with people, drunkards wailing, chanting, cheering, japing, fighting and letting their blood flow straight into the sewerage of the city, others cackling loudly, as if it was normal, it was design.

Smothering smoke poured out as if the house was burning and it took a minute of contemplating to even enter. "Skoro syt aot gaomagon?" her mind asked of herself, but the renewing pains told her to proceed. At least it did not stink as much as she thought it would, the promice of coin or a bowl of brown was too luring to turn a back to. Walking to the woman behind the counter, bringing a pot of something, probably stew, she tried at first in the Westerosi tongue.
