Zi'da, 10th, 716th Arc
Ye Olde Inn, Midtown, Andaris
Almost thirty trials ago, Sin had promised an Eidisi squire a drink and today was the day he would finally manage it. After they had met the first time, Sin had spotted her a few times around, sometimes on duty much like him, other times training or in her free time but he had never had the chance to set a proper date for their get together. So with the new campaign approaching quickly, Sin had gone out of his way to look her up. Between public deployment lists and some quick asking around, Sin had learned where she usually came from and had called her aside when she returned from a patrol to ask her when she wanted to get together to visit Ye Olde Inn with him for that drink. He had been dressed in his squire outfit and so had she. Two Eidisi in a pod or something like that.
Sin shook his head before pulling his shirt over his head. Somehow, this season had started off horribly. What should have been a first date had turned into a meeting with the boyfriend. But after that the season had turned out quite well. During a social event at the Ferver estate, Sin had met with a lovely woman who had caught his eye and now, two trials later he was meeting with an actual Eidisi with a killer shot, literally. While Sin had done very little in the way of stopping one of the bandits running away, the Eidisi woman had shot him dead in mid run.
Once he was fully dressed, Sin put on his boots and pulled his cloak around him. It was cold outside as he opened the door. Turning two corners, Sin arrived on the main road where he blended in with the rest of the street quite quickly. His clothes were as generic of those around him and there were enough non humans in Andaris for him to not draw attention because of his skin color. He had left his weapon at home, realizing all too well that it wasn't of much use to him and knowing the main rule of Ye Olde Inn: no weapons inside. He hoped that sh-... What was her name? Oh shyte! Aelig's chaotic balls... How could you be such an idiot. Great foresight, just great. And you call yourself a tactician. What is wrong with you... Sin kicked a nearby barrel and immediately regretted it.
Hopping on one foot while holding the other, Sin cursed under his breath, calling upon all the immortals and their family jewels. The pain subsided just a bit later as Sin kept rubbing over the tip of his boot, doing very little to ease the pain. He flexed his toes as best he could inside his boot before carefully putting weight on it. It didn't hurt. Good. Sin walked through midtown towards the Crown. Since his own home was near the border of lowtown, everything important in midtown was in the direction of the Crown. The main street took him towards it quickly and by the time he arrived, the cold seemed less on his body.
Sin opened the door to the inn and stepped in. While it was mostly an inn, the ground floor of the place had enough space for people to eat and drink as well, even people not staying overnight. While it was in the late afternoon, the place was starting to get packed already. Being famous came with its perks for a place like this. Almost at the door, Sin was stopped and someone asked him to hand over any weaponry he had. He held open his cloak to show he wasn't packing anything. "I know the rules well enough here so I just left them at home right away." He smiled at the man who gave him a skeptic look before letting him in.
Sin claimed a small table near the window on the street side, a luxury spot once the main crowd got in. He put his cloak over back of his seat and waited. The heat from the fireplace was more than enough to keep him warm. His brown and beige tinted clothes mixed well with the wood in the interior and the clothes most people here were wearing. His outfit was by no means fashionable or attractive but here it was normal. A waitress came up to him to get his order. "I'm waiting on someone still, thanks." His eyes set on the door as the waitress left him alone for a while. Sin sat and waited for a woman he had invited for drinks without knowing her name. You're a big idiot. What were you thinking?
