<strong>Arianna Davenport</strong><br/><strong>Time:</strong>Day 1<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Hillsbrow Village<br/><br/>Tugging her hood further down to block her features, Arianna moved unnoticed through the people that were out and about for the day. She had only recently arrived to this village and though there were many marks just ripe for the picking she had thus far stayed her hand in favor of caution. The guard presence here seemed a tad thick for her liking, though truthfully they were only a concern if she were to get caught. In her 21 years it had yet to happen and for good reason. She wasn't about to let that change now.<br/><br/>Hitching her pack higher up onto her shoulder she turned her gaze to the Inn she had spotted. Already it seemed trouble had broken out but she was no stranger to such things so it did not deter her from entering. Her coin purse was still flush with her success from the last town and thus she could afford to splurge on a decent breakfast this morning.<br/><br/>With quiet steps, not a swish from her clothing or a sound from the floor, she slipped in just behind a taller man and picked her way past the rather official looking woman and the troublemakers she was apparently dealing with. Her oddly colored gaze landed upon the men following the woman's orders before slipping to the elf who sought to caution the Captain of the guard, the latter causing an amused smile to play about her lips.<br/><br/>Despite her amusement at the scene before her, Ari sought to avoid entanglement in an issue that was of no concern to her and so she chose a table farther away from the commotion and dropped her pack lightly to the ground. Fixing it between herself and the wall, she sat and removed her gloves with smooth, unhurried motions. Leaning back in a rather casual slouch, she kept her hood down and allowed her body to relax in a manner befitting a weary traveler. Of course she remained very much alert and observant while she waited for service but she would see and hear more if others thought her not to be paying attention. She needed to get a feel for this place and its people before deciding if use of her particular skills was worth the effort or not.<br/><br/>She might have settled in further had the door not burst open to reveal a rather ragged looking guardsman with alarming news. Smiling more broadly beneath her hood she thought she might perhaps be able to use the distraction to her advantage if this creature did manage to make it to the village. Sometimes it paid to be in the right spot at the right time.
