For a while he squats, letting the sun's warmth flow into him. There is an almost furtive activity in and around the town. People, little people mostly, slipping quickly between the houses and buildings, carrying and rushing. From within, you probably wouldn't notice it. Of the tall ones, there is nothing to be seen. Interesting, but not as compelling as the prospect of a hot meal and possibly a hotter bath.Rising smoothly to his feet, he sets off down the hill towards the road, and eventually the town, with a ground eating stride.The way into town seems to be unattended this morning. So he continues inwards, towards the center of the town, and of the activity as he could see it. It is very quiet now. The few little people he does see seem more intent on getting to the large building which seems to be sucking in the remaining few people in the village.If nothing else, I should be able to find out where to get a meal and bath, with luck.***Out of the silence that has fallen over the room, a figure unfolds himself out of some shadows near the door. Not tall by human standards, he still stands a good few feet over most of those in the room. Squatting he did not, but how did he get in? He wears a loose cloak of sorts that hangs to his knees. He seems to have something tied under his arms and across his back. He has a staff of stout wood in one hand, and a large woven straw bowl in the other. His hair is black and cropped short, his eyes are black also, and oddly inscrutable."Yes, I would be interested," He words are clear, but spoken with the caution of one who did not grow up with them. "I have travelled a long way alone and would welcome some company. I know little of some of the things that you speak of, but know something of the trouble and strife men like this Thedoric can cause. Sir Fendric's words my heart knows to be true ones, and wise. I would travel with him and his companions. If they will have me."</blockquote>
