The small town is bustling with busy people, sailors hauling their wears to merchants and traveling caravans, merchants selling their wears in the streets and some shops, mothers and innkeepers performing their daily tasks. A few thieves slink through the crowds in the streets, looking for their next paycheck.

At the dock, on the west side of the market, a large ship drops anchor. The crew and it's passengers exit, among them a retired knight known as Aerin. He walks down the dock, and takes a deep breath, then exhales. "Home..." He says as he breaths, a gruff yet kind voice.

He walks towards the market, eager to have some familiar food.

At the same time a young Dragoness walks through the market, looking for food. She's been traveling ever since her parents had been taken from her by the monsters. She hunts and forages for sustenance in the wild, but that doesn't go well for one so young and inexperienced, so she steals to get by. Her peach colored scales and long black hair give her the illusion of being human, but anyone with eyes can see her wings folded neatly behind her back. Her red eyes look from one person to the next, wondering 'where can I find some food?'

As these two near each other, Aerin can see the look of poverty on the Dragoness' face. He was familiar with it from the far off lands he had been too, but it wasn't something that he had ever though to see in his homeland. He feels pitty for the young Dragoness, but no one would tell by his actions, Aerin wasn't very good with communicating with others, especially strangers.

He would reach out and place a gloved hand on the Dragoness' shoulder before she could walk by him. "You there, child. Are you hungry?" He would say in his gruff voice, he said it as kindly as possible, but to those that didn't know him he may have come off as something not so kind.
