The old wooden door creaked as it opened slowly, followed by the heavy thuds of boot against dirt- then wood. A tall pale stranger entered the annex in a way one can only describe as unnatural. The man stood there for a moment too long, letting the door slam itself shut and causing a few turned heads and suspicious scowls from the adventurers before they briefly returned to whatever they were doing. A slow shaky inhale through the nose followed by an even slower release of cold breath through the mouth, then it spoke. [color=8882be]"Warm here."[/color] It's voice was low enough to be considered a whisper as its deep-purple eyes scanned the room, its lips unsure whether to smile or frown as it quivered. A few more moments of quietly standing, and the man finally moved towards the quest board, where two others stood by.

Kind has been wandering for two days straight, knowing that in this body, it would not do well to sit and lounge around after a large meal. Whenever it was full, it wandered aimlessly, waiting to feel hunger again. Though, it did notice itself being drawn to large crowds. The crowd at the Adventurer's Guild wasn't anything impressive, yet it found a strange comfort in the presence of other humans. Besides, having only been human for three years, it still had plenty to learn... And one of the more recent things that Kind learned is the importance of money, which humans gain this by using their skills and profession for the convenience of others. Kind, luckily, was skilled with the dagger, and quest boards usually presented an opportunity to be paid for being skilled.

[color=8882be]"Hello."[/color] It said to the two that stood by the quest board, its voice almost a whisper. [color=8882be]"I am... Kind."[/color] It held a pale bony finger up, as if to correct them before they could even ask. [color=8882be]"Not rude. Kind. A kind servant and good friend, I am."[/color] Every word that left its white lips sounded [i]too[/i] carefully spoken, as if at any moment, the vowels would cause its tongue to snap. Then slowly, it gave them a wide smile that did not reach its cold eyes, an eerily awkward and poorly practiced attempt at warmth. The sharp row of teeth didn't help make it any warmer, either. [color=8882be]"This quest..."[/color] It pointed to the lone piece of parchment pinned to the board. [color=8882be]"What does it say? I am not... I haven't learned to read yet, you see."[/color]
