Leo watched the stall owner cooking his meals. The man's focus caught his attention as he took it seriously causing him to think. 'He's panicking, haven't they learned that I'm not gonna hurt them for a mistake?'
He shrugged before pulling out some strong ale and started drinking while waiting for his food, making his stomach rumble. Following that, he turned to the crowds and started people watching.
Demons, Humans, Demi-Humans, and Elves mingled freely in the bustling town. Leo's eyes widened, struck by the harmony among them. He was lost in his thoughts as the man commented. ''My Lord, the spicy dumplings are ready. Please tell me what you think.'
''Thank you,'' he replied while taking the first bowl.
Leo settled onto a worn wooden bench in the heart of the bustling town, the aroma of spicy dumplings wafting from the steaming bowl in his hands. He picked up a dumpling, its golden skin glistening with a hint of chili oil, and took a cautious bite.
