The Forsaken entry 5

Entry #5

The alley was cloaked in shadow enough to dull the colour of all inside it; Tomio's form was only visible by his dull golden marks, Suishou's fur could be barely seen. The two watched the Glameow stretch casually against the chain fence.

"What do you have for us?" Suishou peered curiously through the shadow.

"Just gimme a minute.." he mumbled between stretches. "I barely got enough sleep last night, 13 hours just isn't enough."
