Snippet #2756852

Sam made sure to take note of Red stepping away from their little caravan, then coming out and revealing 'her' little trick. He had met several Hemomancers in his travels, and all of them displayed extensive abilities in controlling the biological, this was no surprise. Returning to his observations to the city around him, making sure to appear as unimpressive as possible. He looked through the streets and could only feel his blood boil while his teeth ground together. It had been too long since he had been in a city like Zenos, but the enslavement surrounding him only freshened old wounds he had been carefully treating. How long had it been, truly? By his count, over 300 years, though walking through these streets made it feel like yesterday, when his old home was forced into a coup after the entirety of the guild he called family was used as a sacrifice to stave off a dragon.

He took in a deep breath, biting into the side of his cheek to calm himself. He would have some reprieve from this later when Alexia made her first move, but he couldn't do anything to draw attention until then. He looked to the side and saw a shop displaying males of various races in cages on display alongside more exotic animals. Their eyes were dull and unfocused, suggesting they were receiving the usual treatment to keep them tame. He felt the shift teleportation magic usually caused stir around him and sighed, giving a glance to Alexia who only nodded. With this, he assumed Red was operating under Alexia's instructions, so he didn't bring it up again.


He let Holo do all the talking, her silver tongue and calm demeanor were more than enough to handle them without aid from him. He took the signal from Holo as he started taking cargo from the cart with his magic. The crates began hovering off the cart in sets of two, making sure to surround Alexia with them to keep anyone from getting a good look, the enchanted cloak taking care of the rest. He sat crate after crate into the elevator, giving a small space for Alexia to duck into. Once he fit as much as he could into the elevator while leaving room for a few people, he approached Holo. He cupped his hands and bowed his head "Mistress, I've loaded as much as I can into the elevator and will be taking them up for the first trip. Is there anything else you require?" he asked.

Holo just grinned a bit, making sure that Alexia was on the elevator as well, before nodding to him. "Just help us unload this collection, and then come back for the rest. You know how to handle my trade goods, so I trust that you will of course be careful." Holo smiled, making sure to keep attention on herself for as long as she could.

"As you command, Mistress." he nodded and went off to the elevator. He stepped inside and hit the button before the doors closed. "Holding up alright?" he asked, having made sure there weren't any cameras or audio devices in the elevator.
