Her voice croons sweetly, but drips with hidden venom. Claws reach out from a blackened void, several grasping, skeletal claws... her face leers into view, a death’s mask pushing through oily dark...
Gasping breaths, and hiss rattles...
“Traitor child of mine.“
Khan bolts up, kicking blankets off of him and scrambling to frantically turn on a light. Finding the switch hiding on the wall, he flips it upward. An electrical hum accompanies the light that shines through.
The room he was lent in Andrey’s Loft is sparse, and hardly lived in. The only evidence of Khan’s existence in this space were just... the rough drawn town maps for hunting the Caravan, and the blankets that were now abandoned on the floor.
Groaning at the sudden start, he falls back onto the pillows a moment to allow his heart to lower itself back to it’s proper place in his chest. When it settles, he blinks and turns his head to the window.
It’s very dark out- he must have been out for quite a few hours. He wondered if Notkin was still around. But that wasn’t what took priority to him at the moment.
Swinging his legs over the bed, he rises and grabs his eyepatch from the side table, disguising the gaping hole in his head as a courtesy to those he was around. He washes his hands and draws fingers through his hair, forcing it to be even and neat.
He steps out of his room and sweeps his head to scan the hallway. Listening around, he hears Gray, most assuredly- some other Dogheads, some Souls that managed to get in... Notkin must be here too-
Focus. You wanted to talk to Stamatin.
He marches down the hall to Andrey’s room, and raps his fingers against the door.
“Mr. Stamatin- Andrey,” he corrects himself, “Are you here? Can I talk to you?“
Khan shoves his hands in his pockets and waits for a response.
