Either way there is much to do about this Smallman. We should work our way back from present time. Recently graduated...well...released...uh...not exactly that either. Let us just say that he is still in debt to a Maester Scribe for an unfinished apprenticeship. Who could blame a young Smallman after all? Page after page and day after day of "Copy this" and "Copy that", "Copy faster Mr. Smallman, the day is dwindling". Then of course the Maester expected the spelling of the words to always be the same or it was "Pitch it in the fire" and "That'll be another sheet of parchment for your tab Mr. Smallman." The smirks on the face of the younger humans he apprenticed with still raise the hair on the back of his neck. They were so smug while they poked fun at the older smaller Smallman. BAH! It was enough to drive sane folk batty. But the worst part by far, the absolute worst part is when the job was done and the Maester collected the coin for the task. With a flash it vanished into a pocket and in another the Maester would vanish into his private chambers. Not a coin shared or praise offered. No Thanks no nothing. Only "faster faster Mr. Smallman." But what should Stubs Fastergrabber really have expected. He had showed up with an unnamed sponsor calling himself Studious Finescriber and paying twice the normal amount for the first hundred days. The old Maester pulled his beard in wonder. "I will call you Studious Finescriber when that is what you are. Until then you will be Mr. Smallman...understand Mr. Smallman?" Of course there was the time that the Maester caught Stubs in his private chamber poking about. Stubs insisted that the Maester had left the door wide open and that he was only curious about how a real Maester Scribe lived. The Maester shook his head in self-righteous pity and sat Stubs down to lecture him about right and wrong and good and evil. He stopped just short of asking him for his real name but it was clear that the Maester thought Stubs was trying to learn a trade and put a sordid past behind him. Stubs just sat there with eyes wide and pretended to appreciate the Maester's words. He even made a pledge to do his best in his apprenticeship and to "never stray from the path of righteousness." The Maester soaked it up and sent him on his way as if Stubs was another of the adolescent humans. You See... Stubs wasn't there to turn over a new leaf. Stubs was there to learn a trade that would allow him to meet and move among people of wealth. Stubs was there to develop a cover for a much more lucrative and less publicly acceptable business. A business of criminal enterprise. Stubs Fastergrabber was one of those kids that had 50 aunts and 50 uncles growing up. It seemed that there were always people coming and people going, people crying and people laughing, people living happily and people dying violently or even disappearing without a trace. Anytime night and day, any day of any year. Stubs was bright enough to read and write and had some little magnetism so he was one of the offspring that had been chosen to learn a trade and play a role in an attempt to make the extended family appear legitimate. An apprenticeship was purchased for him with the alias Studious Finescriber but the monotonous production work that the Maester though would teach him responsibility weighed heavily upon a young Smallman raised in a much more exciting lifestyle.

He hasn't told anyone.[/sblock] [url="http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=107212"][b]Location:[/b] Hanging out at the Red Dragon[/url] [/QUOTE]
