Hammarwolf blessed me and I should do the same in return. While they sat around his table I recall the comfort, these people are his friends and loyal to him. It pleased me to see such a sight, they come here not to discuss agendas and war, but simply of the day to day lives they lived. I felt it humbling to be invited to see this, even if I was forced by blade and that Mae had expressed her view that I was a spy. I was treated well.
He asked favour of me, i felt compelled to do what he asked, since this was the first time I had a task, that I wasn't simply ordered to complete, if fact, he asked in such away many would consult friends over a problem. I was only to happy to give him the result he sought.
He knew one of his ranks had fell in love with a local girl, believed to be part of these bandits i spoke of earlier. I was to spy upon this girl to confirm his fears that while she swore engagement to his officer, she was in fact, a harlot and sought other mens attention.
Tracked to the scholars walkway, i had easily found this Esclyn with another man and hid behind a potted tree as i listened to her plots. never speaking of what circles she came from. It became clear to me that this woman used her charm to seduce men to gain her means, for hours I listened, she taunted the man with her promises. The night had fallen over us and it became easier for me as silence grew over Bree. Esclyn had dealings with others, even guards gave her nods. I followed and listened, it was all to simple for me and so i left with ample evidence to suit my current masters needs.
It was not well received, instantly they made plans and i was asked to leave, and i did so, but i did not return there for time, for i grew a natural interest in discovering this girls circle. When I look back to this day now, I would smile. I could have left my past behind, I had every hope of trying my hand as a blacksmith but naturally I was sought to do my natural work. Could my life have spanned in another direction, to know the warming touch of a woman, a family maybe? A chapter in my life that time would not allow for.
