Meeting the townsfolk
This town is filled with a lot of interesting people. I think it will ages until I meet them all. As always, I see most people here as tools to gain power, but it will be nice if they see me as a friend at the very least. I was also very pleasantly surprised by the number of beautiful ladies in town, three I have seen already that are good enough I might try to make them my bride.
Mysterious Person at the Tavern
While entering the tavern, a tall man approached me. He was wearing pretty common looking clothing, but they were finely made. His skin was dark, and when he offered me a hand in greeting, they were soft, betraying his highborn status even if the clothing did not.
As usual, I give him a charming smile as I shake his hand and fallowed him to a corner table. He looks me up and down slowly for a full minute before speaking.
His voice is deep and carefully measured, "your reputation precedes you young Elerous. You are not what I was expecting. Nevertheless, I have something for you."
I watch with eyebrows raised as he talks. I sit back calmly on my chair, taking in every word. I nod along, keeping my charming smile on my face.
"My associates and I prefer to remain nameless for now, but we are acquainted with your friend Willium and wish to hear more of your exploits and am hoping this will aid you."
He tosses something on the table and leaves the inn, as I remain relaxed in my chair.
Relation Description
Within the village, I saw another beautiful girl. She has raven black hair, which is worn down and loose around her shoulders. Her skin tanned, and her eyes a beautiful violet color which shines as light hits them. Her figure is small, and I guess that standing side by side, she would be almost a foot shorter than I.
She is dressed commonly in a simple green dress. It hangs loosely around her and looks hand made. A flour stained apron was tied around her waist. She walked surely, and I could tell that she was used to hard work.
Finding a job
At the age of sixteen, I set out looking for a job. I will admit that I am not too suited for most trades. I have a distaste for hard labor and am much too weak for that type of job anyway, which meant a lot of the common jobs such as farm work was out.
My aspirations are to become a ruler would not help in this aspect either. Even now, with my friend Willium, I can not gain any work as in politics, which would have been my ideal choice.
With these two out, I look for anything that I could do. During my formative years, I did not gain much in the way of skills, so I could only find low paying jobs. Eventually, after spending ages looking, I saw a posting for an artist job. While I do not have any talents in that area, I figure that it can not be too hard, so I apply and manage to get some work to earn my first bit of coin.
