The man sits in his chair, taking sips from his ale. His eyes are focused on a book in his hands. He rereads his self made notes.
They are written sloppy and are comparable to the work of a child.
He takes a long pull from the bottle and just as the last drop ends up in his mouth, a motion shakes the entire room. The footsteps on deck, tell the man that the ship landed. He takes his belongings, puts them into his sailor's bag and leaves the room, that was his temple of privacy for the last two months. He doesn't look back.
Lerrick Derral stepped outside. It was already evening time, but it was still bright enough to see his surroundings. Mariners are running around, hurrying to do their work. He steps out of their way. His green eyes, gaze around, with a warm expression. He arrived at last. He stretches his arms and legs and felt the muscles slowly reviving from their sleep. He slenders down to the Dock and examines the first impression of Port Avanthyr. The first though: "Not bad". Smaller, than Waterdeep, but surely more comfortable. He continues his walk until he gets stopped by a man, who asks for his history. Politely Lerrick answers all the questions. Afterwards, he walks to the huge Fountain in the middle of the square. He leans against the monument. He follows once again the marks on his face and traces them to his neck. Then he pulls his sleeves his back, checking the extensions of his tatoos on his arms. They would go over his entire body, to his feet. These were remnants of a long forgotten times. Before he met her, when he was still just a thug. An enforcer of "Protection fees". A bandit and thief. His own past.
He glances around and watches the Legionaires making their patrols through town. A slight grin runs across his face: The lands and faces might change.. But dog stays dog. Domesticated or straying.
He walks off, to make his preparations for her arrival. He wanted everything to be perfect when his love would arrive. And thank Tempus, that he had time, till then.
