First Cha-aauuuhhhh-pter :D
"Umah protects Kain during sleep in Meridian"
She protects him for 200 years... From other vamps, from sarafan guards...
From scums and docks drunkards.
From slums burglars...
From master thief shadow, having restless hands...
She silently whispers: 'Mister Garret... Master Thiiiiefff, they say..... Why do i have a pleasant opportunity to speak to you today, and here...????? Khmmmm???'
Garret: 'Ouuhh... Ooops :)))😅😅😅 please forgive me, mylady... It was a mistake. My mistake. A wrong time. A wrong house.' gulp, sweating, almost invisible to normal people, but hearing a voice disturbingly close, right near his ear... Like 1 cm from him...
Umah: not visible to the eye, just a voice in the mist, in the dark lit room. Whispering to the 'master', behind his ear Master... Thief... Who are you really ??? :))) Do you like to give girls a present??? :))) Do you give gifts only to good girls? I am a hodna lady. Do you punish bad girls? Or naughty ones? I can be that too. For you... Mister Garret...
...
...
...
Why are you silent..., my dear... Oh, my!
Are you a Santa??? :)))
That is the only reason I can see for you to be in such place, in such time of the day and year..., alive... Miiiister Garret... :)
Garret: sweating like a man who has prayed to his gods already p-p-p... please... Mylady ... I am a good thief... I don't harm... I only take... I steal... I wouldn't lie...
...to you, at least, hehehe :)))
Umah: sshhhh, silence, my dear friend, don't be so afraid of me... We are familiar with each other, aren't we?
Garret (VO): gulping where is the air in my lungs? Maybe if i don't breath, she will think i am dead already... Or smth... And polite enough to not interrupt her...
...
...
...
Umah: Why!, I see you have manners, my 'looord' :))) Staying silent for so long will not buy you more time... You know, Garret, I can wait... two long sharp white teeth appear behind the Garret, just a millimeter from his neck
Garret: Please..., misstress, ... mercy ... overheating, heart thumping like a steam parovoz
Umah: in old draconic, but almost purring voice😼 puurrRRRELAX.
Garret: heart slowing, breath returning
Umah: You are not in danger with me...
...
Unless you try something really stupid :) ...
...
And you don't want to disappoint me, right??? Mister Garret...??? :)
Garret: Mylady, i kindly ask you to spare my life, how ever low it may be, or of no use to you. But I may be resourceful! Just tell me what you need. And I will bring it to your majesty.
Umah: Ouuhhh, flatterer... No need for the titles :))) Master Thief... We both know, why you are still alive... For song long ... Tresspassing on MY territory ...
Garret: gulping again, but more calm Yes, your highness, only by your will am I allowed to take another breath, i understand ...
Umah: Good, an obedient little hooman :))) but you know me... I don't like slaves... A free man is much more interesting threat... Or a food... Depends on his skill... So, who you are, truly, Mister Garret?
A friend?
...
Or a foe?
...
Who sent you?
...
Who told you about this place?
...
Don't rush...
...
Speak, and I will listen... For now :D
...
Garret: Thank you, your majesty. I arrived here alone. In truth, i wanted to 'try my luck' with some vampires...
I planned initially to outsmart you... As arrogantly i was thinking of robbing you a get away clean... I am sorry, mylady...
Umah: Ohh, my! What boldness! But truth nonetheless... Ok, little thief... Did you learn your lesson??? :)))
Garret: Yes, mylady. You will not see me again.
Umah: I choose what to do with you :))) I may want... Or need... To see you again... That is why you are still alive...
Now...
Go..., my night 'prince'...
We will meet again. Soon. Hahah :)))
Garret: Thank you! Thank you, mylady! Your are very gracious! I leave immediately...
