Essik walked through along through the mass of people, heading down the street. He kept tabs of everyone inside his head, watching who was going where, listening to who was walking behind him, noting all the different escape routes from the area should he need one of them. It was his nature now. The best thing about doing something naturally is that you didn’t even realize that you were doing it. It didn’t take your mind off your other thoughts. He was able to enjoy the sun shining in the sky and the scents of all the food that floated along through the air. He smiled to some of the women who walked past as he adjusted the full loaded backpack on his back. He was able to enjoy the pleasant wind that pushed stray strands of his hair across his face. Even while he was planning out the area, he was able to enjoy himself. That was the best part about it all.
The street he was on lead towards where the circus had set while it was here in Sunberth. Essik had never heard of the circus coming to the city before, but from what he had seen on the posters that were littered around the city, it seemed interesting enough. But they had also sparked the thoughts that had brought him here once more. The circus apparently traveled around from city to city for short periods of time, working its way across the continent. So if here were part of the circus, it would give him a new area to operate in after each journey, but only long enough to pull a few contracts and make some extra money. Then it was off to the next city before anyone started recognizing him. That would be perfect. Plus, doing an act at the circus would only help him hone his skills further.
He had told Alinar of his plan and gained his blessing, letting his teacher know that he would only be around once in a great while for further lessons from him. Alinar had voiced some concerns about it but, in all, had seen it as a good system. So after that, essik packed his belongings and headed out. He had his backpack and rucksack strapped onto his back with all of his belongings attached to them. He knew he probably looked a little odd as he walked down the streets. His hood was pulled back in the bright sun, even though it was a cooler day then most had been. The people walked around hurriedly, dressed in their warm clothes, trying to get where they needed to go as quickly as possible. And at the end of the street, Essik could see the tops of the tents sticking up over the rest of the buildings in the area.
It took several minutes for him to reach the area that the circus occupied. There were several tents littered around the place. The biggest one was where they had the circus and several others were there for housing the performers. Essik headed back around to where some of the performers were milling about, ”Hey, Sorry to interrupt, but can anyone tell me who I can talk to about joining this performance?”
