A tissue rubbed against a stuffy red nose, while tears stained red cheeks. “It, um, looks like he died from his wounds.. We looked for any signs of who could have done it, but we didn’t see anyone or anything else around.. I’m sorry, Zeehva..” Zeehva could only nod, her gaze focused on the cloth covered body of her dad. Sniffling as she pushed her messy black hair from her face. “Thank you..” Zeehva squeaked. 

She could feel Aleksanders hand on her shoulder, offering what comfort he could. Minutes passed, she couldn’t bring herself to look away. The man she admired, the man who raised her on his own lay there, lifeless beneath a cloth. His spark was gone, and Zeehva was hit with the realization that she was now alone. Aleksander turned to leave, his hand leaving her shoulder just before she broke the silence.

“Stop.. Please, don’t leave.” She managed. More tears falling to the floor. “I.. I don’t want to be alone right now..”

“Are you talking about the gemstone or an actual krakens eye? Because one of those is way harder to get than the other, and the price difference will likely give ya a heart attack, sugar.” 

Zeehva adores all things that flow and are comfortable and colorful. Billowing skirts, silk robes, baggy pants, light and airy tops. She likes having the freedom to move about as she pleases as well as wearing things that are eye-catching to on lookers. Pieces that feel good to the touch as well, she wants to enjoy the feeling of the fabric against her skin. 

A few photo examples:

While this example isn’t as colorful as she’d normally wear, the style is rather accurate for what she would wear around the city, day to day.

Something a bit more practical for adventure wear! But still a bit baggy and gives her the freedom to move her body as she likes!

“I dare say I’d be afraid of my fellow mortals.. We are all animals deep down after all, are we not? Just depends on circumstance.”

“For a more true to question answer, I am afraid of many animals, some of them could easily kill you. The Pterrorwings though? Those things horrify me. One nearly ripped one of my arms off, if it was not for my hired body guard Aleksander, he likely would of succeeded. Little shit did manage to take a nasty bite out of me though. An awful experience all around, I would not recommend getting near those things.”

“It’s a good thing you said my favorites, otherwise the list would be a mile long! - Regardless, even though it is apart of my job, traveling is one of my favorite ‘hobbies’ along side relic and treasure hunting. I don’t believe I could stay in one place for too long.. I love to see new things, smell new smells, explore places I haven’t been. I also enjoy just staring at the stars, I’ve always envied their beauty. Lastly, would be dancing. Believe it or not, my daddy and I would dance a lot on our travels. It was his way of always keeping my spirits high when we left places empty handed.”

“Bah! Must you make me pick? I love them both. The beauty of the sun rising, watching its glow embrace the world below while birds sing and things slowly stir to life once more.. But then when the sun has set, the stars are allowed to shine, making those below yearn for something greater.. We wish upon them, and we dream to touch them. Critters come forth from their holes, breaking the silence of the nightfall.”

Her bottom lip puffed out in a wistful pout.

“I love it all, truly.. If I simply had to pick, I think I like the mornings just a bit more, but only because it means it is a new day, a fresh start, the beginning of a new adventure..”
