*Shank wanders around one of the cities, trying to find work. About a week after his escape, he decided to risk travelling to and hiding in the Silnari's borders.

That... Wasn't such a good idea. What he didn't realise was that slavery is probably just as bad here, if not worse. His only consolation was that he would be virtually unrecognisable here. And even that was a crap shoot.*

*Nox Aloysius was weary and tired. After a long trip to the Salvain Empire on a fruitless quest to determine the use of a pendant he had found in his predecessor's belongings, all he wanted to do was rest. Sitting on his horse, he contemplated whether or not to stay the night at the border cities or push his luck and try to get back to his Lord's keep. He kept an eye on his surroundings, as some people in the border cities may have know what he had done years ago in the academy.*

OOC: Please ping me after every reply so I know you have replied or forget.
Eric
OOC: Aight.

*Lucky for Nox, not only is Shank an outsider, he has no idea of what has happened in the world outside of his little camp. In fact, Shank notices the man, and waves, his arguable "Staff" In his left hand. He talks with a very basic, no nonsense tone.*

"Hello. Is there somewhere I can find work?"
Mario
*Nox had almost reached the conclusion of staying for the night but his train of thought was interrupted by a young man asking if there was work. Nox regarded the young beastkin, and surmised that he was definitely not a fighter, but he had no idea what he could do.*

"That depends. What can you do young fellow?*
Eric
*Shank tilts his head for a moment, thinking of what he could say. He's definitely smart enough to learn about new things very quickly, and there's a lot he's already capable of. Including learning a little Silnari! He counts each skill of his on his hands. (I realised that I never said that Shank can speak Silnari, but surely some Silvain slaves would be able to teach him so eh)*

"Smithing. Farming. Surviving in the wild. Stealth. First aid. Basic unarmed and staff combat. Herbalism. I'm also a fast learner."
Mario
*Nox thought about it for a while. His lord, who disliked every Non-Elven would most definitely not like the youngster. However, it was a rare sight to come across beastkin in the Elven Continent. He knew that they were strong and stealthy at the same time. Perhaps he could be of use, Nox thought to himself.*

"My lord may have use for someone like you. But it's getting late. If you are interested, we will travel to my Lord's keep tomorrow"
Eric
OOC: Sorry, my responses will be slow. I haven't been doing great at school so I gotta revise more.

*Shank nods his head, leaning a little on his pole. He knows a little about the leadership in the Silvani, one part being that they probably wouldn't take well to him, but he'll keep quiet for now. It was either this or starving to death.*

"Alright."
Mario
*After resting at the inn, Nox woke up early and started to prepare his gear and horse. It would take around a day to reach his destination. After finishing up, he went outside and found the beastkin.

"Come on, let's go. We've got a long journey ahead of us"

OOC: No worries, I have to intern during the day so I'm unavailable then too.
