Almost stumbling off of the boat, he unleashes a chesty cough and catches himself on a nearby lantern pole, he raises his head from his bandaged hand and glances up at the city, taking in the details of all the buildings and their architecture. The shops and street vendors in front of him catch his attention. He gathers his composure and begins moving towards them. As he walks, under the noise of the busy market, he just barely makes out a "Welcome!" he turns his head and makes eye contact with a well-dressed man. He thinks to himself that this is merely some swindler, but he feels there is sincerity in his voice, he stops, crosses his arms and listens to the man, on guard of his belongings. The well-dressed man continues:

"What brings you to this lovely city? Adventure? Wealth? Or some grand aspirations to elevate your place in society?"

Thuu'nal eyes the man for a second, baffled at his manner of speech but gives a blunt response:
"Name's Thuun, I'm a worker but..."
He feels weird being so open to a stranger, but he gives a confident answer:

"I wish to become a priest of the Church of the Canon. I have come here hoping I will be accepted into a brotherhood or monastery."

He winces his eyes, embarassed with the words that came out his mouth.
