The moonlight was bright outside. Stars lit the sky like little torches, the moon almost full and lighting his path. The sun had set and the sky had darkened at least two hours ago, but he had been unwilling to turn in, to seek the shelter of a human establishment and rest. It had been a month, if not longer, since Cados had been within his sight and he was relishing the sight of the large castle in the background, silhouetted by the moon that peeked from behind it enough that the cobbled road he stood on was lit. Too long, he thought. He enjoyed the energy here, the way the place was so full of life at a constant.
He turned toward the door to the tavern he'd decided to stay in that night. It had not been his first choice but since he had noticed many Were's in the area, he had decided a place that was less than clean and perfect would be a better place to rest. He stepped to the door and pushed it open, allowing the warm air inside wash over him in a wave of great smells, a combination of ale and meat and humans. He tilted his head as he stepped inside, his bright bronze eyes looking the tavern over once before he shut the door with a loud 'thump'. His boots made the floor creak as he stepped away, the weight of his hidden weaponry bearing down on the floorboards greatly. He chose a table away from prying eyes (which he noticed there were many) and sat down in the shadows of a corner. The wooden chair wasn't uncomfortable but after this long, what wouldn't be satisfactory compared to a horse's saddle or standing on your feet for hours.
He bowed his head as he clasped his hands together on the table. Were there no woman maids here to offer services? He did not like the idea of having to stand and cause notice to himself again just to get ale and maybe food. His nose twitched as he closed his eyes and sighed, lifting a hand as if to call any such services to his aid. He was too tired at the moment to care if no one came. Not that he needed to drown himself in alcohol and meat. It would do nothing for him but cause his senses to dull and bring some of the pain away from his constantly working mind. He would wait, see if someone came, and if no one did, he would request a room and retreat away from the eyes that all stared at him as if he were some hungry monster preying on every one of them in the room.
OoC: Please excuse the lack of detail and quality. ^_^;;;
