A strikingly tall man with black chin length hair walked impatiently through the streets full of people towards a nearby inn where he could hopefully find some work. Lately, there weren't many people looking for a mercenary. That would soon come to pass though. Sooner or later there was always an unpleasant job someone wanted done. And his muscled body covered in leather armor reinforced with steel bracers and greaves often helped people want to hire him. However, before he could make it to his destination, he heard what sounded like a guard yelling at someone in a nearby alley. His curiosity was piqued. A guard didn't often just stop anyone for any old reason. There had to be something to the person to make them of interest. And those of interest to guards often had bounties on them.<br/>His mind decided, Korval quickly went to the alley the noise was coming from to see an armored guard trying to cuff a very oddly dressed person. Determining that he could figure out the purpose of the person's clothing choices later, the mercenary crept down the alley behind the guard where he clubbed the man over the head with the butt of his pistol.<br/>With the guard taken care of, Korval was able to observe the person in front of him. The garb they wore was utterly ridiculous, the colors were even more bright than the silk clothes of a duke or duchess, but nowhere near as extravagant. They were probably a servant of some sort, dressed in such colors to flaunt the wealth of their masters. And since they were alone out here, they were probably a runaway. Honestly, he couldn't blame them. If he was forced to wear such things, he'd run away too. However, there was probably a reward for their return so he'd just have to return them.<br/>"Come on, get up." He said gruffly, his pistol now aimed at the figure on the ground.<br/>When they rose up though, he was surprised to see that it was in fact a young woman that stood before him. Since when did women wear leggings like that? The leggings did show off her shapely body quite well actually, and the mercenary couldn't help but eye her figure for a moment.<br/>"So what are you doing out here all by your lonesome miss?" Korval asked. "I couldn't imagine why a beauty such as yourself would be traveling through an alleyway all alone and unarmed."
