Tobi looked around the town as he arrived, putting his hands in his pockets and keeping his word at his side. He'd never been here before, didn't know anyone, didn't know where anything was. But he knew enough to keep himself alive.
For instance, he knew to avoid the small clusters of people, avoid bumping anyone, avoid getting his purse stolen by a little thief boy. But he didn't try to kill the thief either. That would attract attention, and attention was not always a good thing.
Instead, he made his way to the nearest pub. That was the most likely place to find information, the kind of information he was looking for. A good, somewhat safe place to sleep, a place to buy a good horse, and hopefully even get a good drink to go with it all.
The only thing he hadn't been expecting, however, was the sheer number of people and other beings. He hadn't counted on that. He would have to be more careful in this place.
Zander lounged outside in the sunlight, the pink highlight in her hair bright under the sun, her tattoos attracting lots of attention. Unlike Tobi, she didn't care if people saw her or not. She didn't care if someone tried to start a fight with her, because she knew she could finish it. And finish them.
Stretching lazily, she watched people go by idly, placing names with the faces of those who lived here, memorizing the faces of the travelers. One in particular caught her interest; an elf who seemed to be doing his level best to avoid attracting attention. She paid special attention to his face and clothing; perhaps she'd pay him a visit later.
But, for the moment, she was warm and content to just let the world go by, like a warm, happy snake after a meal. She yawned, briefly showing sharp teeth, before she settled farther back into her seat. She'd go do things later, once it got a little cooler out and she needed the movement to keep warmer. Not that she actually needed the warmth, naturally, but she liked being warm.
