Time:20th of Fall, 511 AV
Setting: (Just a bell after dawn in The Seaside Market)
Purpose: Meet and greet, possibly some training
The sun had risen before his very eyes, kissing the horizon and bringing vivid rays of gold, orange, and red across the city. He hadn't slept that night, it wasn't immediately obvious to him why not, other than he simply couldn't stop the stirrings in his mind. Seeing the sunrise so fully, and unobstructed at the top of a creaky platform hadn't helped at all. The sight brought only anger, and renewed hatred, after all it was very much like the sun was spitting in his face, rustling up old pains just for the sake of seeing him squirm. Not this morning though, just a deathly calm, and unblinking eyes. He'd make the sun pay in it's due time, but for now there where other matters like quelling his growling belly, and beating down the whelp who tried to rob him last night.
It was all just such so much like every other morning really. He leapt off the small dock, plummeting the distance between it and the sandy ground without even a grimace. His feet touched the sand first, and throwing his weight forward, he managed to crumple to the ground with not to many bruises scouring his body.
I really need to get better at falling.
Planting his hands underneath him, Darian pushed himself up to his knees before climbing to his feet and walking away slowly, dusting himself of meticulously as he kept his eyes out for any merchants that happened to be awake at this early hour. So far he had only seen a couple of them, those being the really dedicated ones that stayed with their spot through thick and thin, and those ones were still fast asleep, and well watched over by their capable bodyguards. He wasn't much of a thief anyways.
Across the waters, unnoticed by him, a thick fog was making it's slow way across, creeping like a silent killer. Darian's eyes though where more focused on the shadows the refreshing dawn light casted, his hazel orbs scanning searchingly among the gloom for any that might try to steal upon him.
