The sound of empty bottles mixed with the groaning of a night spent far too deeply in the cups echoed from the entrance of an alley. The world came into focus a bit slower than he would have liked, but beggars can't be choosers. Eos propped himself up on one arm and pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to focus some more. The sound of water sluicing through the gutters and street trenches was nauseatingly loud. He was in one of the cleaner crevices of Delta, if anything in the hell-hole could be considered clean, surrounded by a fair amount of tapped wine bottles and a few other men that seemed to be in a similar state as he. Hungover as hell, to be precise.

Such was not an uncommon occurance, as the dusky-skinned drunk was actually fair company while under the influence of alcohol, but after a closer inspection of his 'drinking buddies', Eos realized such was not the case. The men, all four of them, were cover in bruises. One fellow with slicked back hair had a particularly nasty looking bump on the side of his head. With a scowl, Eos glanced towards the end of the alley. The first couple streamers of sunlight had begun to pierce the morning mist left from last night's rain. Still some time.

Eos yanked the slick-haired man's collar and arose, bringing the passed out man up as well with seemingly little effort. With a quick series of slaps with his free hand Slick awoke with a start. He screamed in fear as soon as he oriented on Eos. Eos sneered and throttled his captive until he bit down on his tongue and was reduced to quiet whimpering.

"Good, you're awake." And quiet. He mentally added. "So..." With a hint of mockery flavoring his voice, Eos flicked the man's swollen temple, to which the surprisingly well-dressed fellow winced. "Why in the Queen's name did I beat your arse so badly last night? It's a little fuzzy, so a refresher's in order here."

For the first few moments Slick's eyes were just wide with fear and astonishment and Eos thought he would have to shake the little fool again when the scared man's eyes darted towards the shoulder of Eos's free arm. Following his gaze, Eos's scowl grew. A deep gash parting the skin from his shoulder to elbow was lazily leeking blood. It was an ugly wound covered by half-congeled blood and a whitish crust--the beginnings of an infection. He looked back to Slick. "You knifed me. And your buddies--all of ya District Beta's i'm guessing--thought that a poor, drunk bum would make grand fun. Am I close?"

Slick could only swallow and whimper some inaudible pleads for forgiveness.

A few minutes later Eos was on top of a low rooftop, just above the grimey fog and taking in the sunrise. The portrait of violets, oranges, reds and even slivers of crystal blue brought tears to his eyes. The scruffy young man wiped the wet warmth away with a dirty sleeve and pulled up his hood.

In another few minutes he was in line to see one of the local healers. The wait wasn't too bad, but the stares were getting annoying. The general fare of people awaiting curative spells from the magi were a grateful, almost pleasant lot who rejoiced in the power that the magic-slinging chimps brought to Delta. Not Eos. Under the hood, all one could see was a shadey scowl and the occassional glaring eye. With one sleeve rolled up to reveal the ghastly wound(and indeed it was, for a young boy peered into the pus-seeping cut and passed out), the man looked more the ruffian looking for healing and a quick turn to rob the mage before leaving. Finally it was his turn, and Eos walked into the rutty little house and sat down at the proffered chair. Under the rimm of his hood, Eos glared at Pandora. He figured she'd be use to the treatment after his third visit, but didn't hold his breath. He was almost expecting a witty comment. "I've got a scratch."
