<1st day of Summer, 512 AV>
Even before Horlamin had made his way to the Establishment in search of employment, he had made his way to find a home to live in. Sure he had a tent, but the thought of living with so many other poor people did not appeal to the fighter. He'd like a nice bed, a room to store his belongings while he was out, and a home close to the things he loved; ale and women. An actual home in his name would've been preferable, but alas he did not have enough money to buy a home. So a tavern had to suffice.
Not that he disliked the notion of spending every night in a tavern, where fights were common, ale flowed like a river, and women were just waiting for some of Horlamin. The thought actually brought a grin to his face. And the grin didn't fade as he stepped into the Drunken Fish, temporary home to foreigners all over the world. Thankfully it was early morning and many of the patrons were out working on the docks. He wasn't frightened; he merely wanted to get in and out with ease. A room was what he sought now; the fun could come later.
Standing to the right of the door of the tavern, Hor scanned the interior searching for the owner of the place. But it seems the owner found him first. A large man claps Hor on the shoulder, the smell of alcohol evident on his breath as he greets him. "Morning. What brings ya to my tavern?"
Hor looks at the man, and grins. Any owner who will drink his own wares was good in the fighter's book. "I seek a room in your tavern, sir. It seems I find myself in Sunberth for an indefinate time with no housing. Do you have a room I can rent for the entire season?"
Hor could've swore lights flashed in the owner's eyes. "I'm sure I can make room for you this season, but the money must be up front. Fourty-five gold-rimmed miza and 5 silver miza."
Hor couldn't do anything but accept. He didn't know the prices here; he could've been cheated or spared. But he didn't care, Hor hoped to make money from this point forward. And to make money, you had to spend money. Hor shook Father Manowar's hand, and handed over the amount required. He then allowed Father to show him to his room. It was a start, a sacrifice, in Hor's quest to become wealthy. The better would come later. |
