As he makes his way to the market place, he stops by the thorn tree, merely out of curiousity and looks over the notes left on it. Before he turns to leave he notices this small note and reads it, gives a small smile, then with a wave of his hand summons a pen and paper. He then writes this...
If it friendship, companionship, or even love that you seek, then you could not have come to a better place. For here there are other lonely souls looking for the same as you, so hopefully your search will not be a long one, and hopefully a fruitful one.
He then sticks the note next to this one, then turns and heads off.
