Sightseeing.  That is all Aiden had come here for - he was still unsure of how to even ask for work from people he knew absolutely nothing about, save for where they lived.  All of the world was a mystery to him, for he knew only the closed in life of his hamlet, before it was destroyed by raving bandits.  Even as he walked up and down the markets, there was always something new to discover.  He was beginning to kick himself in the head for not bringing some paper and a writing utensil to jot down all the fascinating new sights before him.  [color=Green]"Damn it; why didn't I bring something to write with?  I'm going to forget most of this stuff in about a weeks time."[/color]  He was so caught up in his predicament that he almost completely failed to see the guards that had made their way to him.  By the time that he had realized they were there, they were already pressing him to follow.  Being the 'law-abiding' young boy that he was, or just very frightful of the consequences in refusal, he did as they bid.

It wasn't long until he was rounded up with a few others in some unknown location in the heart of the Sanctum.  As if by instinct and 'not at all by some sort of anxiety', Aiden put his visor down to cover the lower part of his face.  It was actually almost comical with the way it fit on his head; his body was far too small to fit the armor he had worn.  While not at all dangling or swinging around, it did shake with every movement he made, making him sound like a walking mechanical-being that was just waiting to fall apart at any moment.  Even so, his posture was brave.  Almost, anyways - a experienced eye would catch that this wasn't so much bravery as it was false confidence.  Perhaps a means of coping or intimidation?

When the woman came in, he watched her carefully, keeping his mouth shut as to listen to her words.  She appeared strange to him, especially after the fact that she had gathered a group of strangers.  For what reason could she want them?  To want him?  He was just some kid, so he thought.  After welcoming them and asking them about their business in Guixiang, Aiden put his hand up and spoke up from underneath his visor, which muffled his voice just barely.  [color=Green]"I-I'm a little too young to be pleasure seeking, but I have been exploring.  I really like the architecture!"[/color]  Perhaps he sounded a bit too enthusiastic...
