The Sky King
Jorrin was not use to crowds. Having lived with only three people for nearly all his life, he had little experiences with the "big city" and typically went out of his way to avoid them, only going when he had to, or Azrial urged him to do so, either to buy supplies he didn't wish to waste time finding themselves, or taking a break from their almost never ending trek. This time however, it was he that wanted to venture into the capital. The music, decorations, smell of roasting boar and endless roar of fun drawing his attention.
The young man was now regretting his decision.
His dress made people look at him wherever he went, something he absolutely despised. He wore nondescript, tan leather pants, a black sleeveless shirt and his usual white cloak, lined and embroidered with bear fur. To him, this was normal attire. To the population of the city, it was an oddity. Under the afternoon sun, he was surely baking under the heavy garment and truth be told, he was. But, Jorrin would rather be prepared for the cold then to feel comfortable in the heat. A habit he couldn't quite kick. But, maybe it wasn't his clothing that drew attention to him.
"I don't blame them. Most of these people have never seen anything outside of a common kitchen knife and here you are, carrying Noren like a child on your hip." Azrial's voice rang in his head, amusement obvious in his tone.
Glancing down at the blade, Jorrin shrugged. Better safe then sorry. Noren was the shorter of the twin blades if only by two inches. Its pummel was a simple, steel coating while the haft was tan and wrapped in like-colored leather bindings. The cross guard was a two-layered square design, nothing special. The entire design was nothing special. But then again, the sword was asleep.
Looking around, he frowned at the decorations. Purple and red bloomed in every inch of his vision. If his teaching was any good, those colors were painfully ironic.
