The first night back in Quacia, Zuny slept rather well for one cloistered in a cramped room in a flop house. He had
Omesintihlih
as company. She’d proved a tough nut to crack and refused his overtures toward carnal activities. Yet with so little room in their little… room, they had small choice but to cuddle. For now, that would suffice for Zunylanih, as their minds coalesced and transferred over into Uleuda. Zuny’s in utter comfort, and Omesintihlih’s… well she was Omesintihlih, her motives and feelings were utterly inscrutable to Zunylanih.So they arrived at Zuny’s place in Uleuda, as he was the senior among them. He took Omesintihlih by the hand, and began dancing messily. She eventually took the lead, if only to avoid getting her feet shattered by his misteps. And then the dance went a bit smoother with her guidance
They danced their way out of Zuny’s quarters in the living quarters, until they reached the threshold, and danced out into the streets, stepping in tune with Omesintihlih’s singing voice in Vahanic. They danced through all of Zuny’s clumsy footing, while his partner was agile enough in the dance to avoid gettiing stepped on.
However, it could only last so long before Zuny spoiled the moment. He began laughing, and when Zuny laughed in joy, he often shook and shivered, as if taken by convulsions. His crystalline laughter echoed all through the living quarters. As they spun and stepped, Zuny’s convulsive laughter shakes caused him to pitch backward, taking Omesintihlih with him, tripping over some bum who had just appeared out of the crystalline walls of Uleuda. Zuny waved his arms to steady himself, but only managed to pull his partner down with him, on top of the poor bystander.
When all was silent, and it was clear that their crystals were all in one piece, mostly, Zuny saw to check on the stranger. He spoke in common, as he wasn’t sure that all Yludih could know Ulehi, “My name is Zunylanih, you disturbed my dance, prepare to die.”
Thus, his clawed hands wrapped around the wrist of the Yludih, and began strangling… his hand. It might’ve been comical if Zunylanih didn’t appear to be incredibly earnest about it. So out of his element in Uleuda was he, that he forgot Yludih don't need to breathe in their true form. Even their hands were bereftof lungs. Poor, ignorant Zuny...
