20th of Fall, 510 AV
Fenilen's eyes shifted cautiously, even as he was supposedly safe within the walls of Avanthal. The enemy was everywhere, and the enemy looked like every other person. He could trust no one. Absolutely no one. They could all be with Them! They were all the enemy.
He entered the door to the Skyglow Hold. His green eyes danced across the many items and people decorating the hold. All of them, possible members of Them. If anything, though, he had to be amazed by the eyes of the people of Avanthal. They changed constantly, perhaps as much as their thoughts changed from subject to subject. and their hair, it had highlights in colors he had never seen before. Such an interesting people. He pulled the hood down on his Kavintu, loosening his scarf. He did not need to be so heavily garbed inside. Fenilen's right hand drifted down to the Talon sword at his hip, nodding in comfort as he found it there. He was safe while it was by his side, or at least he thought so.
One of the Vanthas passed him, and he spoke to them slowly, in broken Vani. He felt he at least owed them that courtesy. "Hello. Where can I job find?" his Vani was poor, though he hoped to practice it in Avanthal. The Vantha looked him over, noting the red hair and dress. He responded in Vani, speaking slowly and in small sentences, using hand gestures as well. "Talk to Vannis. Interested, he might be," the Vantha smiled, pointed at a door, and then went on his way.
So, this Vannis must be behind this mystical door. He had to be wary, though. He may be with Them. Trust was a luxury he could no longer afford. The Inarta's boots tapped on the wooden floor as he walked, making his way up to the door and bowing to the man outside. He couldn't have this conversation in his broken Vani. So, in Common, he spoke: "Greetings. I come seeking employment for my stay in Avanthal. I am a Glassblower. I was directed here by one of your people." he was very curt, not knowing enough Common to make his sentences sound anymore fluid.
