After forcefully kindly persuading the guards at the main gates of Riften to allow him entrance Onawÿ glanced around him, grimacing at the various derelict buildings and the heavy, wet stench of stagnant water that pervaded the air. He snorted, gnashed his teeth, ignored his dirty surroundings, and continued upon the old stone road. As he reached the centre of the city he scrutinised the lively inn ahead of him, The Bee and Barb, before deciding to walk on past it, and headed instead towards Thy Lady and Lord, hoping to quietly drift through the city unnoticed.
He pushed open the door to the brothel and entered the building, immersing himself within the moist atmosphere of string music, women, and drunken revelry. He steadily ignored the soft flesh and voluptuous curves that were scantily flaunted around him, uninterested in the yielding forms of the whores on display. He walked up to the bar, behind which stood the bartender--a dark elf male.
"Excuse me, could I enquire about purchasing a room for the night?" Onawÿ said roughly, barring his short tusks and sharp teeth in a smile.
The mer glanced up at the orc and smiled back thinly, full lips tight, hair white, and eyes red. "Of course sir, that will be 10 gold," said the mer softly, accepting the coin from Onawÿ with a swift movement of his nimble hands, handing over a room key in exchange. "You are in room five; up the stairs, the third door to the right."
Onawÿ nodded in thanks, moved away from the bar, and walked towards the stairs. He ignored the appreciative glances of the women and the appraising looks of the men in the brothel and climbed the stairs, clenching his jaw when they creaked dryly beneath the weight of his iron armour and heavy weaponry. When he reached the landing of the second floor he turned a deaf ear to the various moans, grunting, and the slapping of flesh that sounded forth from the rooms around him and unlocked the third door to the right, entering his room. He locked the door behind him, carefully unbuckled and removed his armour, swords, and other belongings. He stretched his exhausted body, relishing the cool air upon his naked flesh, and then slid beneath the cotton sheets of the simple bed, falling asleep within minutes.
I am glad it's been kept alive though, I am grateful. I will post ASAP and with finals this week the wait shouldn't be too long. Xoxo))
