After saying his farewells to Dormic and Ntaj, Silas left the inn and back onto the streets. While he would like to get used to the layout of the town he decided on making his way to the mayor's house right away. And sure enough, like Dormic said, as he got closer there were more and more cats to be seen. It was when the mayor's house came into view that he knew he'd found it, evidenced by the cats in front of it.

Sihlas watched a girl trying to get the cats in the garden to play with her, it was cute due to the fact that they seemed more interested in resting in play with each other, rolling in the dirt, and lounging around. One was even trying to catch a bug. As he approached, the girl spot him and immediately ran to and hid behind the old man tending the garden. Her action alerted the man to his presence, as he turned and greeted Sihlas with a smile and wave. The scholar returned the gesture.

Stopping outside the garden Sihlas would then speak, [color=crimson]"Hello, my name is Sihlas. I was told by Dormic that this is the mayor's house and, unless I mistook his directions, you are the mayor, Nicolas."[/color]
