[break][break] from the scars on his hands, to the crude grit of his speech, to the careless curve of his smile: he was raised in the slums. raised alongside whores and thieves and liars all; raised in the backstreets, and crafted terrible by lessons no proper school would teach. [break][break] so, you don’t need to ask about his mother or father or his little pet dog: ask after his career, if you must ask anything. [break][break] ( even though he’s going to lie. ) [attr="id","sybariscol"]well, what about the career? [break] ( and tell the truth this time. )
it starts at swiping purses, segues into a hundred thousand childish schemes, and peaks hard at learning just how much gold people pay for a quiet killing. someone tells it to him, on accident, not caring for what a slum kid heard or what a slum kid could do: [break][break] a body goes for three grand. [break][break] he’s thirteen when he first decides he needs that money. [break][break] and, he still dreams about it. the rose garden, the paintings on the ceiling, the singing: it ceases. how soft he was. how he could still believe in pretty things like no consequences and forever, even while looking into a dead man’s eyes. [break][break] he remembers how, for a while, he was king. there was no internal conflict about death or havoc or ruining lives, because he’d always been trouble, and he’d always been scum: he loved every second of it. [break][break] or he did. now, there’s emptiness. [attr="id","sybariscol"]emptiness.
ache. bleak, all-consuming maw: the thing that keeps him cold and empty. he’s doing things even rats won’t, and he’s got all this blood on his hands, all these skeletons beneath his heel — for what? for who? for why? [break][break] he doesn't really know. but, he has discovered this: [break][break] the clink of coin isn't as satisfying as the awe-like appall in a voice that can't believe he really did it. and some nights when he's up on a ledge above delphi's streets, high enough to scrape the starless sky with his nails, he finds the world below tiny. its people and their problems small as toys and lice. [break][break] and he thinks it would all fit neatly between his fingertips, if he could only reach for it.
