Cap 813: Lower relative

Pov of an Assassin:

The night Zenos arrived in the city of Cartise.

I was sitting at a food stall on a busy street, and I was waiting for someone, the person I am waiting for is late, but I am a patient man, I need to be very patient in my line of work.

"I want another grilled fruit skewer." (I)

"I want some too and a stiff drink if you have any." (Riley)

"I have something here, but it's not very strong."

"Then give me the bottle." (Riley)

"You don't look well, lass." (I)

"Leave me alone." (Riley)

I reach out to touch the woman's shoulder, but she taps my hand before touching her, thus activating the telepathic magic.

"(You're late.)" (I)

"(Sorry, it took a while for the hypnosis magic item to wear off.)" (Riley)

"(I hate wearing this thing, my head feels like it's going to explode.)" (Riley)

"(Tell me you didn't kill Adventurer.)" (I)
