Draiss nodded to the guards, and told them he was merely traveling, on a quest, and was stopping to get supplies and see if he could learn anything in the libraries. He grinned as he slipped through the crowds, ignoring the heat, and the overhangs, moving with a purpose that belied the fact he was simply wandering about, enjoying the sights and people. He had only his Sivridut in its staff form, the blades and weight withdrawn inside, a bag of holding on his back, under the cloak, a couple rings, a necklace, a bracer, and his clothing. In most worlds that would scream adventurer to anyone paying attention, but he kept most of his apparel hidden under the cloak, and searched for an eatery or similar where he could get something to eat without being chased off. He suspected not, even with the scales across his forehead, cheeks and neck, but it never hurt to try.<br/><br/>Once he had eaten and paid in silver for the meal, he left and headed for the libraries, hoping he could get inside.
