[edit] Introduction

(Draft)
1) Talents, being given to old woman 2) Relatively decent time, financial difficulties, sold 3) assassin-type stuff

Veils has always loved dancing. When he was little, he used to sneak out into the hallways when his mother's lady was entertaining and practice moving to the sounds he heard. He remembers somes pieces of those times- taking off his shoes so they wouldn't make noise on the carpet, the smell of roasted venison, flutes for entertaining and bells for funerals- more easily than he remembers his mother.

He knows that she was a servant of someone in House Ferem, and that her mistress' guests caught him one day when he was about five. He remembers a very long ride with an old woman, the same old woman who was his mistress for the next ten years of his life, given as a gift and kept as an amusement. She loved him, and though he learned quickly to pretend otherwise, he loathed her. She gave him quarters with the musicians and had him taught to sing and play, though for the most part he kept with dancing and the occasional monkey-trick. They treated him cordially but without warmth, and with no one remotely near his age, he grew up for the most part alone, until the old woman died.

Under increasing pressure from debtors and without a clear heir, her property was auctioned off and the servants were sent off to find work elsewhere. Sadly, his talents were recognized once more, and as he was young and without any recognized family, an exchange was made without his knowledge to lump him into the former category.

I can feel the violence
Spill across the floor
My eyes have grown too clouded
To see it anymore
