Snippet #2371746

Chandler looked around the metropolis he had just entered with his light blue eyes. He accidently bumped into someone as he was taking in the sights offering them an apology before heading on his way. “this place is much different than Ostwyn…” he thought to himself as he tried to get his bearings by looking at a map.

He knew he probably should have rested outside until the morning to enter, but he had been so eager to see the new city and with the two moons being full it had provided him enough light to see by.

With a sigh the half elf put away his map, getting many odd looks…and for a moment he wondered why, it was only until he realized that it was because his clothing, he was wearing his Ostwyn garbs and though a bit dull in color it still had color…something it seemed this place had lacked a great deal of.

“Ah excuse me can you-“ he started to ask someone before they just continued on their way. Chandler sighed at that. “Fine then…” he muttered almost tucking his hair behind his ear before he caught himself. It wasn’t that he was ashamed of being a half elf, it was just…well he wanted to see what it would be like to be treated as a human he knew a few people outside Ostwyn looked down on his kind after all.

He gently touched his red stone necklace before venturing further into the metropolis making sure to look at the signs, trying to find some place to stay for the night. The tall buildings looming above him and the dull colors almost disorienting, making him feel he had just been to a place as he entered, when he knew for a fact he hadn’t. And that noise! Was that the mining machinery he had heard of? It must be. He decided right then that he liked Ostwyn better…though that may be because he was feeling a bit home sick.

He thought of his family back home. His father a proud half elf, and his sisters a girl who had at one point been as adventurous as he, though that had stopped a bit ago, she now preferred exploring lands in books than in real life. Not that he thought that there was anything wrong about books, he liked them as well. It was just he would rather see the land the book was based in than see pictures of it.

It was lost in that thought that he almost passed by a hotel, he quickly stopped as he entered and looked around to see the night desk there looking like they were about to fall asleep. “Excuse me do you have any rooms?” Chandler asked as the clerk lifted their head off of their hand and let out a yawn. “Eh? Yeah we do…” they said before telling Chandler the price. Chandler nodded as he took out his wallet and handed over a card as the sleepy clerk checked it and made sure it was approved before handing him a key. “Thank you.” Chandler said with a slight smile before he put his card back and rode the elevator to the designated floor. Once there he soon found his room and went inside, exhausted he took off his clothing staying only in his boxers as he undid his small top knot letting his blond hair hit a little past his shoulder, his pointed ear tip poking out a bit before he crawled into the bed tiredly pulling the blankets around him before he fell into a dreamless sleep.
