Zen was sweating lightly, packed like those salty fish the merchants sold at the market in-between all of the people flooding in through the main gates of the city. Uncomfortable, he kept one hand on the hilt of his sword, the other on the strap of his pack. I just need to lie low for a little while... he thought, shielding his eyes from the hot noon-day sun. Make 'em think they got me. Finally pushing through to the main square, he shivered, his sweat turning cold. The tall sandstone walls were meant to protect from invaders, but they just made him nervous.
[1: Note- Yes. For now, since this is in human form, Zen appears to be male. Also, Ika is played by a friend of mine who is unable to access the fourms. His pet form is currently in limbo, but he will have one eventually]
