Delmus hadn't changed she noticed, he'd still pass for pure blood people just about anywhere. True he was taller than most men, but not tall enough to look out of place. Undressed and if you knew where to look and she did, there were bumps on his back where the extra arms had thought about growing, but luckily hadn't. Yes his skin colour was a bit the red side of fashionably tanned, but again not enough to get him hung in a colonial settlement.
"They weren't guards," he said, "they were hiding out here. You ok, you look thinner than I remember ?"
Thinner ! She just smiled at him. The conversion to The Damned had left her a good four inches taller and with a longer torso, yet all he noticed was her weight.
"Yeah I went on a diet. Why are the guild hiding out in your hovel ?"
Delmus looked hurt and looked around his home. It was probably the best house in the area, but as the area was the slums of The City of the Lost God, that wasn't saying much.
"Things are different here Luri, look out of the window."
She pulled the internal shutters back a bit and looked out of the window.
"There ! You can just see the horizon," said Delmus, "the purple sheen, that isn't normal and people say the rift is shrinking."
She knew the rift was shrinking, but that the 1st rift was almost certain to survive, but she wasn't sharing that information with him, well not yet anyway.
