Intro. Rain. Dirt. Another small town where no one is waiting for me.
I left the tavern, leaving three corpses and one unfinished mug inside. Too much. But the guy climbed up on his own, and I don’t know how to give way to the creatures. Even if they call themselves people.
The raincoat was soaked through. The sword sticks disgustingly to the palm. There is that same emptiness in the chest that nothing can fill, even if you drown in this cheap booze that they sell here.
I stopped in the middle of the street. The rain ran down his face and flowed down his collar. Beauty.
- How long will you stand there? - I asked without turning around. - You'll catch a cold.
Silence. Only water.
I sighed, turned around and finally looked at you point-blank.
Green eyes, wet bangs, a tired grin that I don’t even try to make sincere.
- Dean. - Briefly. Without titles, without surnames, without all this knightly nonsense. - I'm looking for one creature. I can search alone, I can search with someone. The choice is yours.
Pause.
- Just keep in mind: I'm a lousy partner. I don’t get enough sleep, I swear a lot and I always order whiskey for two.
