“Welcome!” He began. “What brings you to this lovely city? Adventure? Wealth? Or some grand aspirations to elevate your place in society?”
“Education” I respond wearily, I observe his posture and it seems too perfect. His wide smile faulted for a split second like he wasn’t expecting that answer anad then turns to his left to point at a building, “That is the house of education, and beside it are the living quarters, may I show you around?” he looks back to me. I respond with a smile and I shake my head,
“I can follow the cobble as I please, Id hate to waste your time for I’d like to explore the shops on my own. I am sure you have been in them all a million times, No need.” I shoot him kind smile and he seems almost relieved. I turn my back facing the old brick building and roll my eyes. That man must be hired by someone really high up that wants to make this place seem like a safe haven, yet there are people in the shadows watching our every move, reporting to the same person who hired that man. I watch my every step entering the hall.
