On the way out, she passed by her neighbour next door, the plump, busty girl named Vexada. Vexada was a trainee<em>blackguard</em>and looking forward to deployment in one of the fortresses outside hell, where most of the hellish army was stationed.<br/>Right now, Vexada was polishing her (busty)black cuirass and halberd.<br/><br/>"Kyrie, did a bee sting you?"<br/><br/>She laughed, as Kyrie went by. Outside on the street, a thin layer of soot and ash was lingering over the cobblestones. It was almost every day like that. Kyrie would just need to get across the street and the marketplace to get to the bath house.<br/><br/>A near-naked woman with a tray full of snacks approached her. "Miss, would you care for some delicious spicy meat wrapped in grapevine leaves?" She looked at Kyrie hopefully. By the looks of her, she was one step away from slavery and desperately trying to earn money to pay her taxes to remain free.
