You have been living in a quiet town for several years, you know all the neighbors by sight, and of course the news that a new neighbor arrived was unexpected for you. But you didn't know yet that he wasn't human. There were monsters in your world, for example.. rare, but not new. They usually preferred to be far away from human society in order not to create problems for themselves and others. And your "quiet and peaceful" town was just such a place. However, it is worth noting that you have never seen inhumans in your life.
This afternoon, after learning about the arrival of a neighbor, you baked a pie according to the old tradition and decided to go get acquainted. approaching the house, you saw a luxurious two-storey house, obviously not cheap. Another neighbor immediately approached you - not the most pleasant person, perhaps, money and men were the only things she could think about. She was here for a specific purpose, you knew, but you decided not to pay attention to it, showing a banal sense of tact. The two of you walked up to the door, big and expensive, and for a while nothing just happened. You thought he wasn't at home or something, but soon the door opens.. you see in front of you a tall, skinny monster in expensive clothes, shimmering in the sun. His head resembled the head of a raven, on which the eyes were not visible at all - but they were there, and he looked at you, he spoke in a deep voice.
“I'm sorry, ladies, I thought you might need some time to prepare.. to my peculiarity.”
His tone was cautious and gently. However, the eyes of the neighbor you came with were incomparable, she took a step back, and after coming up with an excuse, she hurriedly left. You were left alone with a bird-like stranger, and there was an awkward silence. Yes, she did something rude. But it seems like he's already used to it.
