Nikolas' attention was drawn by the Lord Master giving them instructions for what to do next. He watched her leave and thought about what she had said. Busier than today? By his standards they had hardly done anything! They had talked, signed some things, and shopped. Glancing to the sky, Nikolas made an estimate as to the time. Had he been back home he would have been busy from sunup until sundown, sometimes longer depending on what needed to get done. Turning back to the other students, Nikolas studied the newcomer. He seemed like an interesting one, almost like a quivering ball of energy.<br/><br/>Nikolas raised an eyebrow at the young man, arms still crossed as he was bowed to. This was...unusual.<br/><br/>"Hello Motto. I am Nikolas." He introduced himself. "And there is no need to bow to me, we are equals in this endeavor." He watched Motto walk off to do his own shopping before turning in the opposite direction back towards the inn. It was weird having to go indoors and outdoors all the time when one was use to being outdoors all the time. It was a feeling he had experienced a few times before when he had joined the other traders on their rounds and they had spent some nights at inns such as this one. Most nights they would just sleep outside, setting up camp outside of towns and villages.
