Gaius left the docks and roamed the city for a bit. He stopped by the Inner Fire glass shop to check on things, making sure everything he had worked on earlier was well and done, before heading out to wander the city. The place was even busier than it normally was, and it soon overwhelmed him. Eventually, he left the city and headed along the path, then pushed through the brush and followed the smaller, hidden game trail to his camp site.
The site was simple, just his tent and pack, a self made fire pit and a few of his clothes hung over branches to dry from being scrubbed in the nearby stream. Over all it was a quiet place, simple and hidden away from the rest of the world, a place where Gaius could go and relax a bit.
Gaius spent a bit of time at camp, cleaning up the fire pit and preparing it. He shifted the dirt around and dug out a fresh hole atop the old one, filling it with sticks and kindling. He then went around the forest, collecting fallen branches and dead wood. He decided that, at some point, he had better invest in an ax if he was going to continue this camping out lifestyle. True, he had work and could probably afford a small place in the city, but he felt it was better to save all he could, in case he might need it.
After he had a good stack of wood ready next to the pit, and the pit itself was prepared for a fire, Gaius headed to the stream and washed his hands off of the dirt and grime they had accumulated. He wiped his hands on his pants and stood, looking around. He was suddenly without anything to do. It was still to bright out to even consider meeting Adsila, but perhaps he might bump into her at the docks. Yes, that was what he'd do, he'd head back to the docks.
Gaius smirked as he headed from his camp site, back into the city proper. He was developing something of an attachment to this woman, strangely enough. He felt at ease with her. She seemed easy to talk to, and she certainly understood better than most what it was like to be looked down upon for one's heritage, and what it was like to be scoffed at for being blunt and honest. And that was comforting in a way few things could be.
Gaius smiled as he neared the docks and found her sitting at the end of an empty one, feet dangling in the water, just as he had found her before. He walked up to her and sat down, staring out over the water. "Lovely day, isn't it?" he asked, smiling at her.
