The trading post smelled of spiced meat and desperation.
Voresh noted this as data. Smell: cooking fat, unwashed bodies, cheap ale, fear-sweat from the merchant arguing with a guard over tariff rates. The fear-sweat was strongest. Humans leaked their emotions through their pores, advertising weakness to anyone with the senses to read it.
Once, that observation would have sparked something. Pity, perhaps. Or contempt. Or the particular melancholy that came from watching mortals struggle through their brief, burning lives.
Now it was simply information. Filed. Catalogued. Dismissed.
