The door opened mid-knock, Ishara’s fist poised in mid air. She dropped it suddenly realizing how long she had stood there knocking like a fool.
Ishara took a half step back, feeling somewhat threatened by the figure in the doorway. Her foot bumped into the grey suitcase on the ground, nearly toppling it over. She quickly bent to right the luggage. Ishara really hadn’t thought this through. Her cheeks were burning.
She cleared her throat and straightened her spine. “Yes, I’m here about a body. I believe - an - uh - let’s see here-” she squinted at the writing on her hand. “Mr. Marcus has been inquiring about.”
It occurred to her that this might not even be the correct residence. And here she was talking about bodies. Nevermind the body she mentioned, something was off about him. What even was this man? He definitely wasn’t human, that much Ishara could perceive. She hadn’t come across a wide variety of non-human species and so was not familiar with his breed.
She craned her head to see past him inside, not worrying that such a gesture might seem rude. Was there someone else there? Her untrained senses were overwhelmed with whatever entity or entities were inside. She fingered the pendant around her neck. A simple moonstone for protection. That is to say protection from little things, simple curses, maledictions and the like. But not large, unknown breeds of men.
Bitch, I'm limited edition.
