Spotting the others teeth, he slowly lowered his weapon. Ethan didn’t have the teeth of a Blended, so it was clear this man was human. Now he just had to make sure Ethan hadn’t been bitten and was trying to enter the city. There was no way to tell unless the other showed all of his skin. That wasn’t going to happen, so he opted for giving Ethan a chance. Ethan would be watched for forty eight hours before he was allowed to go about on his own in the city; making sure to confirm he wasn’t infected.<br/><br/>“I’m Samael.” He greeted; his weapon back to his side. Reaching for a small pouch by his side, he tossed it at Ethan in an underhanded arch. “Here’s some water to start.” Sam offered. It was his for his shift, but it was clear that Ethan needed it more. “You can come in, but you’ve gotta make your offering with the mayor. She’s the one you have to convince to let you stay.” Samael admitted. He himself was along the authority chain, but he wasn’t the leader.<br/><br/>After the fall of the city, they had elected a new mayor. A woman by the name of Grace Hawthorn. She was a kind woman; older, but strong. She stood just as much of a chance against a hoard as the men did. That, along with her knowledge and experience was the reason why she had been elected to take charge as the mayor of the city. One would be lying if they said she didn’t frighten them; even by a hair.
