Ethan just nodded tiredly at the words of their guide as he welcomed them into Frontier town and gave a quick orientation. He had only the energy left to understand key information only like: locations, names, and job offers. He was rightfully tired, spending most of his days trekking along rocky and dusty roads and his nights in decrepit and long abandoned caves if he were lucky enough to stumble upon one. He gathers the inn vouchers and map provided to any and all travelers. Something along the lines of welcoming 'gifts' given. 

He begins to walk to the local tavern, The Drunken Dragon. More usually than not, this was where the locals would put up job offerings and bounties to be done by adventurers or the odd local. Best place to find a job when you are almost hitting rock bottom, if you asked Ethan. He enters the establishment and is instantly hit with the smell of warm food and cold drinks, causing his stomach to rumble unintentionally. He had to live off the land for the past week or so. It was dreadfully easy to tell that his body was fed up of eating berries. He shuts his eyes and winces slightly as he had to secure a job first before he gets spend happy with what little was left of his life savings.

The smuggler who brought him out of the borders of the Evergreen Empire was easily the most costly, costing over three gold pieces. Even if he felt that the man was a con artist that swindled him out of nearly a third of his savings, results were results. He was here in Frontier Town and was not waiting in a cramped cell in the capital, waiting for the day he was going to be hung by the neck until death. He walks over to who he assumed to be the bartender, trying his best to ignore the eyes on him. It was true that he was taller than most folk in this country by nearly half a span, making it easy for them to deduce that he was not from these parts. The indistinct murmuring from a number of the patrons did not help ease his fears of being identified.

[color=tan]"Uhh...excuse me sire. Would you happen to know if a lone traveler such as myself, could earn some cake and tea in this fine establishment?"[/color] Ethan tried his best to hide it, but his eyes widened slightly in shock as he unconsciously used a slang common in the Evergreen Empire to imply a decent wage. Acting natural, he leans on the bar and offers the man an awkward smile in hopes he would be focused on his awkward position rather than his slip of the tongue.
