First of fall, early morning, 510 AV
Talos had heard, in his time settling down, that there was a place within the city that he could acquire a job... near the front gates if he had heard the armed guard right. He made his best attempt and shook his head clear of the negative thoughts he had for most of the people in the city. If he was going to get a job he would have to do it in a mannerly way and the way he felt now was anything but. As he walked through the city towards where he had thought the center had been he noticed the ever mounting differences this town held from his own. Fall had come with him on his travels and it helped to curb his homesickness as it was never really over abundant in heat within the tunnels of his home town. The coolness allowed him to feel less out of place... now if only someone could construct massive tunnels to each place he had to go to within the city... well, that was folly. His thoughts helped to keep him distracted from the other "observations" that flickered at the edge of his perception.
A tattered old panhandler sitting in the streets, permeating a sour stench something close to ale, had walked up to Talos begging for any spare currency he might have on him. After a few moments of fruitless begging the man hobbled of probably assuming Talos was deaf due to the absolute lack of him being paid any attention. Soon after, still engulfed in his still fresh memories, he happened upon the employment center and walked in through the door quietly. The inside of the building betrayed the outside of the city as it was both welcoming and well kept. A secretary near the front door seemed ready to handle his need for employment and so he took his first true step towards conversing with the outside world.
"Uh..., Miss? My name is Talos Bulwark and I was hoping I could be employed in your fair city...?"
Of course at this point he had thought the city anything but fair... but these people still deserved his respect and his clan would demand it be so.
