Markus entered the square at a leisurely pace. He was feeling down again about his mother, although it was happening much less often now that he'd gone adventuring. The half-elf hung his head to avoid seeing the gray skies. He kicked a rock forward as he wandered aimlessly through the town. Eventually, Markus found himself in the Center Square of the town.

He took a moment to observe his surroundings. The skies were just as gray as they were before, but he also spied a few people. A man towards the center of town, and a woman headed to a building, likely the pub, Markus assumed. Several other buildings were also within the square, but Markus couldn't guess what they were.

He approached the man in the center of the square. "Excuse me," He said. "Would you mind directing me to the nearest inn? I'm new here and I want to know where I can spend the night." Markus then noticed something was a little off about the man. He wasn't fully human... was he? Markus ignored this feeling for now and waited for a response.
