[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 7083502, member: 2012"] Oleander makes his way across the wide roof away from the city's outer wall easily enough, avoiding any open skylights and the few tents used on the roof by the worst off of the district. He comes to the edge of Elvin House and looks across the district. Even though the sun is still rising, the district is already bustling with activity. Here, it doesn't pay to stay in bed, of course, it doesn't pay very much to get up and work either. Half-way down the building, a small enclosed walkway crosses from the flophouse to a local shop, a grocer. Oleander has often walked across the top of the walkway; he's one of the few who has the skill to do it. He heads down to the other side of the building and down a set of handholds he fashioned on the side of the building. There were no windows here. He comes down on a ledge just over the walkway and easily slips out on to its roof. His footfalls are quiet not that he has to worry too much. Very few walk the path this early in the morning. He slip down to the roof of the shop easily enough and is soon blending in with the few locals that come up here. The shop owner, Imrodel, allows an old friend of hers to run a open-air eatery on the roof. Ahtalan's clientele are usually middle-aged elves with a bit more money than most in the district. A few of them come here across The Elfbridge just to eat. Then they go back to their easier lives. And they're a bit loose with their coins. More than once, Oleander has been tipped while walking through the eatery to clear a plate away. Today, is no different. "Young one," a matronly elf says with a smile. "Please clear away my cup and plate please," she asks as she presses 4 coppers into his hand. "Here you go, my boy. Something for your trouble." Oleander knows her face. She a regular at the eatery. Not wanting to draw attention, he does as she asks and takes the plate and cup away towards the small kitchen. He quickly passes it to one of the staff, as well as 2 of the coppers. An even split; that's all the dish runners ever ask for from him. Ahtalan nods to him from the kitchen before Oleander slips out of the eatery and across another walkway to the next building. Here, there are no patrons or high shops. Just the Guild of Elves in the building below. He doesn't tarry on the roof for long. A stone stairway is built into the side of the building and he is soon down it and through the intersection that connects the path from The Elfbridge to the Borough Bridge. Which way today? ++++++++++++++ "Sorry, I wasn't trying to scare you," Vincys as he awkwardly tries to do what Brother Pi does. He nearly falls over. "Ha! That was fun!" He exclaims loudly.
