Spending the last year training in the reserves, his final assignment was escorting a family of nobles back to the kingdom. Afterwards, he would unite with the local garrison and prepare for departure on a series of specialized missions.<br/><br/>Just as he arrived, however, it seemed all the fighting had stopped. And now he was left far from home with nothing to do. Still, he didn't mind too much. Perhaps now he could spend some time on vacation. Maybe, if he found something worthwhile, he would stay here; possibly find an honest hobby and send some money back home. That's right! He needed to make money! That was the only reason why he enlisted! He needed to support his homeland.<br/><br/>The realization smacked into him hard. He'd wasted so much time already lazing around! He hadn't even a place to sleep! There had to be somebody around here who could give him work. His head whipped around back-and-forth until he spotted someone walking down the hall of one of the castles he decided to tour. A blonde-haired woman pushing a candlelit meal down the hall. A maid perhaps? Maybe they were still hiring.<br/><br/>Awkwardly, the young man scurried over towards the woman. "E-excuse me, miss?" His voice sounded as nervous as his overcompensated smile. "You wouldn't happen to know where a poor stranger could find some work around here, would you?"
