Afina rushed away, feeling uncomfortable to be under his gaze. She continued to take fast strides until she was out of his view.

That old man would smoke even on the day when he would breathe his last, Afina was sure.
Even if they were just two left functioning, the street lights were doing a great job of lighting up the street.
It made the quietness less scary.
"Good night to you, Sir Williams." Afina curtsied as she passed the man by.
