Eileen has a rough life. Surviving in the slums means a combination of lies, swift feet and luck. As a result, it's no wonder that Eileen wages more importance on finding a nice place to sleep than his own tastes or hobbies. It wouldn't help him snatch some additional money anyway. One day, after Eileen's flat was outed yet again by the local militia, a sequence of events led to his meeting with a young girl named Lee. Her name is strange, her skin is covered in bruises, but, above everything else, she owns a nice and safe place to sleep at. For Eileen, it's an exceptional deal.  However, their relationship would prove to be more than a rowdy tenant and his reluctant landlord. Eileen will learn. About Lee. About the outside world. About his own purposes.  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Cover art by me. New updates whenever a chapter is ready.
