Confession

---- Tower of the Circle, Dalen Capitol ----

Gareth looked at the vial in his hands, trying to decide whether or not he should tell Enanth about his deal with Thia. As a way to draw it out he uncorked the vial and smelled it's content. It had a faint smell of blood, but otherwise it was pretty much scentless and it seemed to be a very small amount compared to his usual meal seizes. Hesitantly he put the vial to his lips and drank. It was a strange sensation drinking this cold fluid, but shortly after he could feel the thirst slowly subsiding "Thank you. It's actually not that bad".

Now he would have to come up with some kind of answer. He turned and turned the empty vial in his hands, his eyes fixed on it. "You are right... I am supposed to get this book for someone else...". He paused, nervous about what he was gonna tell next "Her name is Thia. She let's me stay at her place and sometimes even buy me food. In return I help her with.. well, just about anything she needs to be done.".

He almost dropped the vial as he kept fumbling with it but managed to catch before it was shattered on the floor. "Sorry..." he quietly mumbled and quickly placed the vial on Enanths table before continuing. Now he looked up and met Enanths gaze apologetically "I'm really sorry about all the trouble I've caused you but.. I really really need that book. She says she need it to complete an order for some guy, Teitur I think, and I can't return without it... I can't let her down again...". The last part he added quietly and looked down once again.
