Poenus: How Azrael falls (BL)

The Dagger

"I think the lighter one suits him better."

"No, the darker one's better"

"Light"

"Dark"

"Light"

"Dar-"

"Give it a rest already you two! At this rate we'll all be late, and I'm not really in the mood to try and entertain a moody Draco."

Asimi couldn't help but be overwhelmed and exhausted as he let out a sigh, honestly, it would be an hour before the banquet would start and they haven't settled on what he should wear yet.

"If only we were still back in those days.." Setta muttered as Kiel patted him, earning a purr from the human cat.

"Ah, you know how prissy and judgemental nobles can get, what more if they learned of his background? Being an assassin and all."

Well that was one thing he was kind of scared of, who would trust a slave and an assassin? He was used to people judging him since he would often accompany his master to parties and such, but why was he suddenly nervous this time?

These people had already done a lot for him, he didn't want to be a bother. Especially knowing Draco's short temper. Speaking of that general, Asimi still haven't forgiven him for the stunt he pulled earlier.

He was lying at the palace roofs, sunbathing and he couldn't help but relish the warm sunlight, when he was suddenly surprised by the sultry voice of Draco calling his name. He almost fell off the roofs if not for his reflexes.

"What are you talking about? The person we have here is General Asimi of Kosmima." Mina appeared and sent the other generals and cat a knowing smile. Asimi was a bit confused when they looked at each other for a few moments and then gave him a smile as Je'hel clapped her hands.

"Alright, everybody out let give him his privacy!"

Before he could even let out a word a bundle of cloth as thrown at his way, obscuring his vision but he could tell that they were already leaving. When he had managed to bring down the cloth, the tower was now empty as he stared at the now closed double doors.

Looking down he couldn't help but be amused for a little bit, the outfit was a mixture of shades of blue, dark and light.

He kept his tunic of white as the cloth of blue served as an outer layer. Brooches of gold kept the cloth pinned at his shoulders, elbow and wrists. He also had a golden triangular waistband to go with it, the ends of the blue cloth flared down his tunic like some sort of skirt. He put on the white gladiator sandals that the girls had decided on earlier, swinging his arms he frowned at the weight that used to be at his arms. His weapons were a sense of comfort for him, especially now that he was going to attend a social event. He glanced at the mirror by a vanity table decked with jewellery and pigments. Mina had already applied some kohl on his lids, saying that it made his eyes stand out, even his lips had a bit of rogue. He frowned at his face, he looked more than a female than male.

He always hated his looks

Sure it could prove to be advantageous in some circumstances but he didn't like it that people were only attracted to him due to his looks. He was still male after all, he also appreciated a woman's looks and body.

Women were soft, kind and pretty and he always found their company nice.

A knock startled him a bit as he called out to whoever was about to enter, the double doors opened as Kiel's head popped out and grinned at him.
