"I think I may have gotten myself lost again."
Even though Mort had been living in Alliria for a few years now, the place still felt fairly foreign to the man, nor did it help that he was never the best at mental directions. He swore he had bought a general map of the city when he had came, yet here he was, having taken a seat on what he assumed was a low wall. It didn't help either that the shallows were not his forte, having gotten a few looks coming at him that he assumed were curious glances. He had heard plenty of things in regards to the place by those in the keep, mainly that the place wasn't exactly the friendly sort of place, but there was also the stories he heard where as long as you weren't a pompous thickwig you'd likely be fine. As such he had decided to stick with his usual travel getup, having wrapped his scarf slightly tighter as not to get it dirty. Not that the place was dirty, more...naturally aligned.
At the very least, he knew that this expedition into the slums wouldn't be a complete waste. There was always work to be done for his line of work, and while he wasn't exactly looking for it, if someone just so happened to cry 'Oh someone please help! Think of the children!', or 'Oh no! That cutthroat just stole my live's savings!', well that was up his alley. If someone did scream those sorts of things out here though, it was likely to be some sort of trick. Didn't matter though, Knights helped those in need, and while he wasn't a knight in any which way legally, officially, or whatever legal jargon he didn't know, a bounty hunter was close enough to that so long as he stuck to the law.
But first, food. Unpacking his lunch he'd pull out some jerky and began munching on it as he tried to think of what he was going to do next.
