Tael had stripped the bandits of anything they had, which wasn't much, and left them to burn in the small fire arranged in a lude position. Perhaps Tael wished to mask their deaths as a crime of passion but, it was more likely he took pleasure in the bewildred expression he imagined whomever found them would wear. The flees from the male's bear pelt, bit into Tael's skin, the untanned hide attracted flies as well but, it was better than being stark naked. Tael rounded a bend in the path, nearing a small market town. It was becoming clear to Tael that this world would not have a way home, if they didn't have space travel, they certainly wouldn't have the higher technology like the federation but, on tallon IV he had seen the ruins of the Chozo, a race far more advanced than the federation retreat to seclusion and simplicity. He held out hope. ________________ Tael had thought he would have smelled bad, and repelled the citizens of the world he was on but, as he entered the town he saw chamberpots emptied from windows falling into the alleyways below. It was like something out of a fairy tail, a startlingly realistic fairy tale. He worked his way through town, among the stalls filled with rotting meat and surprisingly fresh fauna from the planet. He heard the name "Thracs" several times, learning this to be the planet's name. "Hey new arrival, where'd you get that pelt?" a slim man said smiling through broken teeth. "I had a friend who wore one like that." Tael looked at the man, fingering the heat warped dagger he still carried. "Whoa there friend, if i was going to kill you i'd have chosen a better place." He said throwing Tael a fresh apple. "If i did that, i'd get arrested." Tael caught the apple keeping his silence, however the shady character would not be keeping his. "HEY THIEF, THIEF, GUARDS!" the man yelled as every eye in the marketplace turned to Tael and the piece of fruit he unwittingly carried. Tael glared at the man, who was in stitches by now, before running past him quickly followed by armored soldiers.
