He takes a deep breath, smoke filling his lungs, the oiled yet dry taste tingling his senses.
The Russian exhales, the smoke billowing outward across the room, his features obscured by the plume as it seemingly bellows from his cowl.
He had been thinking as of late, something he rarely ever did, being it was his nature to act upon the moment.
He felt a great change approaching, he couldn't exactly pinpoint what was going to change, but he had a deep inner feeling of it.
The Russian smiles, another thing he hadn't done on a regular basis.
Things would be O.K. he knew it deep down, his soul was contempt for now...
The Elder idly glances down at Kinslayer, the kama in it's usual belted position on his body, the spirit within seemed somber for the moment, as was its master.
There would be much to come.
