Octavius
The Spyglass had become one of Octavius' favorite buildings in the city since he discovered it one night, wandering alone and not wanting to return home. It was grandiose and imposing; even the way inside was a bit of an adventure, as you had to walk a ways from the city across a long stone bridge to get there. He had looked in the telescope once or twice to admire the stars, but he didn't know much about astronomy and thus wasn't very interested in looking for long. What he enjoyed the most was the view of Stormbreak from high up in the air: its twinkling lights, nighttime revelers, and alabaster buildings under the moon's gaze.
He enjoyed looking upon the city in this way because here is where he felt that it was his city most. He could identify buildings and places across the landscape, notice where construction was happening or a redesign was taking place. Recently, he noticed some streetlamps had been placed in the Silk Houses; this was a great addition that pleased Octavius with its practicality and addition of safety to the area.
As he continued to admire the view from the window, he heard someone come into the space and turned to see a man wearing a vest and wrap skirt, looking to the northwest and pulling out a map. Curious at the unusual garb, never mind the fact that barely anybody came up to this area of the Spyglass in general, Octavius figured he would be polite and greet him.
"Hello there. Lovely night tonight, isn't it?" he said, turning away from the window to meet eyes with the stranger.
