It had been hard, to slip by the knights that dutifully pointed out to each newcomer where to go. He didn't want to talk to them, he didn't want to talk to anyone, really. They would see what he was.

He remembered the pangs of hunger, the creeping cold that entered his body. Such was the signal of death, he wanted to avoid that most of all. So he entered, entered the building the symbols of this city's strength directed newcomers towards.
In he stepped, and with trepidation, reached for what he judged to be an employment form.

"Anything you can give me, I'll take."
