Edin Vanoke
The town looked miserable, the sky was grey, Edin's mood was unusually low-which actually wasn't saying very much.
He had been walking for quite the while now, the entire time with the thoughts of stealing someone's horse just to make the trip quicker, but the boy really hadn't the slightest clue where exactly he was trying to go.
"Anywhere!" His father had shouted, shoving his son out the door, "Anywhere away from here! Just go!" The words from Evan may have been a warning, or they may have been the final attempt to get the boy out of his house. His parents couldn't hide him forever.
He was an enemy, after all. Just like Diesna, his grandmother who had been killed. But what had Edin done that deserved him death? Nothing in recent years, for he had long since given up on his childish thoughts and actions. Yet when it was found that Edin just so happened to be the younger boy who had protested with the traitor Diesna, well... he too was wanted dead.
Now he was walking in the rain, his tired blue eyes not even registering what was in front of him. He knew that he hadn't been away from home for too long, but the entire journey had been on foot and sleep had been the least of his worries until now, and even then the concern was faint. He was tried, yes, but he knew that a peaceful dream wouldn't come to him. Still, a rest for his aching feet would do him some good.
"An inn..." Edin said to himself, glancing over at the faded sign on the building to his right. His stomach made a growling sound and the soles of his feet seemed to hurt even more, as if in a reminder that he needed food and rest. "One night," The boy decided, sluggishly walking towards the door, "One night and then I'll-" Edin was about to say 'and then I'll leave' but the sudden rise of sound in the formerly faint voices when he opened the door caused his sentence to drop dead.
He walked to the front desk, carefully stepping around people as he went, and asked the innkeeper if there were any rooms available. The keeper nodded, told him to wait a few minutes for him to get the room ready, and suggested sitting at one of the few tables that wasn't already full.
With a quiet thanks, Edin scanned the room for somewhere to sit. There were three places in total, but two of the three occupants of the tables didn't look quite as friendly as the third, which had two women sitting at it. He walked over to the women, pulled out a chair, and slumped down without asking if they minded his sudden appearance. He would only be seated with them for a few minutes, anyway. Once the innkeeper came back and he payed-
Oh. That's right, he had to pay. Edin glanced at the two women, a fiery-red haired girl and an elfe, and gave them his best attempt at a smile,
"Either of you happen to have money that will pay for my room, do you?" The sentence wasn't exactly charming, Edin was aware, but he hoped that luck and kindness was on his side.
