The moment the woman hit the ground, Jaxen's vision misted. He blinked and rubbed his eyes as memory clawed its way back in.
His grip on the power tightened as he slipped further into the room. He knelt by the woman and tilted her limp chin. "Sybaris,"
he said to the dead woman. Hesitantly, he parted her lips, peering at the shards of razor-sharp teeth within. "Bitch."
He stood up, wiping his hand on his sleeve and pulled the book from his coat, depositing it on the bed. He turned and looked at the door a moment, realizing he'd left it open. Probably not the best idea to let just anyone see a murdered woman on the floor of his room. He bent flows of Air around until it pushed it closed. Rather satisfied with himself, he finally gave the chinese dude a moment's consideration.
"Tan Li."
He studied the man's face, but didn't comment on any recognition he found there. Given that they just killed a woman together, he was likely safe to share his real name. "Jaxen Marveet,"
and he gestured at the woman. "And that is Sybaris."
Before he could stop it, his hand went unconsciously to his throat as he shivered.
"You can explain why the hell you're killing women in my room as I pack up. It won't take long. So I suggest you hurry the story along, Tan Li."
He shook out his rain coat and began to pull his belongings from drawers, practicing with the ancient power as he did.
