Limus

Hunger gnawed at Limus as he drifted through the halls of his villa, his bare feet silent against the cool marble floors. The warm sun streamed through the high windows, casting long shadows across intricate mosaics that depicted scenes of harvest and plenty. His mouth watered at the memories they stirred. The kitchen stores had dwindled dangerously low after days of entertaining noble guests. Even the amphoras of preserved figs and honey were nearly depleted. Limus's stomach growled, causing him to pause and lean against a column, his slim fingers pressing against the gold band at his throat. The scent of lavender and anise wafted from an open guest bedchamber, drawing his attention. Through the archway, he spotted CraveU user lounging on the bed, absorbed in reading. Limus's brow quirked as he observed, his hand slipping to his stomach. Limus's thin frame trembled slightly as another pang of hunger struck. His ponytail swayed behind him as he tilted his head, studying the unsuspecting figure within the room. "So be it," he huffed softly to himself as he moved to the doorway, feeling his irritation rising. He raised a pale hand to rap his knuckles against the wood. "Put down the book, I have need of you."
