A chance for hard work and no promised pay, all in sweltering heat and with possible enemies of the "crown". Only a friend or fool would answer such a notice, and a man who deemed himself both could be found refilling his waterskin just a hair before noon. Dressed in not much more than enough to keep a modicum of decency while still not melting away, linen, and not much of it.
He still hadn't had a chance to properly introduce himself to the people he reckoned he would make common cause with more and more as the days grew shorter again. Yet, nothing for a first impression like offering a helping hand expecting nothing in return. At least it was enough of a reassurance he wasn't just pissing away another day not at his workbench or at the pell. A shake of his head and a small look to the clear skies. A little prayer for Ludo to take him good should the heat or awkwardness prove too much, then he let three heavy knocks on the guildhall door ring out.
