Season of Winter, Day 56, 504 AV After making his way away from the deceitful and horrible child that was Clyde, Bob found his way back towards the city of Syliras. Something odd had happened to him while out there, maybe a trick of Clyde's, and so now when ever he opened his mouth saliva came dripping out. It was easy enough to keep from looking like a fool when he could keep his mouth closed, but his encounter with the guards at the main gate had left him unmistakably sure that talking was going to be embarrassing for him, and unpleasant for anyone who actually talked to him. Just that short exchange itself had left his velvet shirt noticeably wet in a pattern that was certainly not appealing. Now he was at least safely inside the city, but now what was he to do? Most of those walking by him were simply ignoring his presence, and the few who did catch sight of his rough and disheveled appearance generally gave him a bit of room and hurried on their way at an increased pace. For someone who looked like a beggar or vagrant there was little kindness offered in the bustling city of Syliras. |
