Ademaro drifted off the boat, looking around as he unfolded his coat and pulled it on, ready for the chill of narrow streets and shadowed roads. He moved from window to window, looking for any indication of a room for the night and anywhere he might find work for the time being, as he turned back towards the street his eyes found a well dressed man. He looked him up and down as he approached, listening to him carefully as he spoke. He thought for a short while, choosing his words carefully, it never paid to insult someone clearly above yourself.
“I, uh, ‘m just looking for work enough to keep me fed for the time being, I guess, start working iron again if I can find someone to take me on,”
He brought a hand to the back of his collar and pulled it a little tighter around his neck, then fumbled with the buttons at his throat as he awaited the man to speak again, a half smile on his face.
