Stone Circle and i continued without mercy

The more rational and expectant part of him believed he'd be turned away in an instant. Anything that could go wrong has gone wrong over these months, who's to say it wouldn't happen now? Even still there was a part of him, a desperate side, that wished for a bit of kindness. And that kindness was given to him to his surprise.

Orochi watched the woman leave, paying little attention to her associate until she spoke. Nothing, he growled defensively. Hiding his weaknesses was instinct at this point, but what did it matter now. They already knew he was starving, his foot looked and smelled like a rotting corpse. Might as well lay everything on the table. Orochi let out a defeated sigh. I was attacked by someone. He'd leave it at that for now.

The woman came back again, this time with some meat. As soon as it was  given to him, he dove down and tore into it. It wasn't much, pangs of hunger would return hours later, but it was something. Orochi was more than grateful for it.
