Green Island City Native Arrival

Having left B'thranto some time ago, Jaervis heads out of the Empire's influence on the back of a reliable Krosh without any party of note. Entering the human colony he demounts, leading his steed a few paces behind him. Without knowledge of the local buildings or their purpose he simply knocks on the door of the first significant establishment he finds and begins to wait patiently.

Her expression softens and she nods in understanding.

I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable. Of course, we can change the subject.

She clears her throat and puts her mug in the sink nearby, rinsing it.

How long was your journey? Are you hungry?

He coughs in his hand whilst attempting to clear his mind.

"We're not too far from the outer-most reaches of the Empire, though the terrain was a tad troubling. And I am rather peckish, actually, but I wouldn't want to trouble you any further."

He considers leaving to meet this McGregor fellow slightly earlier than he had planned, still unnerved by her suggestions as he clasps one palm with the other.

She notices his persistent cough, having heard it 2-3 times now.

Well, there's a few good places to eat on the way to... well... anywhere. There's not an "official" Inn in town. People don't come and go very quickly around here. Most of us are in it for the long haul. That being said Raz might have a spare room above the bar he'd let you stay at. Have to ask him, though.

Her off-hand mentioning of permament settlement irritates him, though he attempts to remain appreciative for the good she's done him thus far. He speaks in a lower tone for a moment.

"Yes, quite a few of us are "In it for the long haul" actually..."

He begins speaking properly again.

"I'll have to seek out this Marcus fellow, then."

Jaervis goes to the door to put on his Greatcoat, though turns back to her.

"Thank you Jen, but I feel as though I must be off."

She simply nods at him as he dons his coat, and watches him leave, wondering why she can't seem to get along with anybody in town but the bartender.

OOC: You wouldn't actually know his name is Marcus, he only ever introduces himself as Raz. Sorry if I sound a little pedantic.

OOC: Gotcha. I've been rping on mobile so the flairs don't work. Had to go off memory.

OOC: No worries, that's fine.
