Caspian saved some doughnuts for later, walking onto the train when it pulled up.
The ticket hadn't been as expensive which meant that more money could go into his survival until he got a job. He chose another window seat, his gaze fixed outside the window for the entirety of the ride.
He should be tired but he didn't feel even a bit sleepy, excitement thrumming through his veins. He almost forgot to eat his doughnuts, only remembering when he was a station away from his stop.
Four hours seemed to pass in the blink of an eye, and soon he was coming down from the train with the other passengers, clutching his satchel tight at the crowd.
Cities were way different from towns, even towns like Beckley. There was so much going on just at the station that he was disoriented, his head swiveling from side to side as he tried to figure out where to go.
"Hey, you look like you could use some help," A friendly-looking Beta walked up to him. He was dressed in a rumpled dress shirt and faded slacks, a bag over his shoulder.
"Sorry, it's my first time here, could you point me out of the station?" Caspian responded, sighing in relief.
"It depends on where you're going," The Beta threw an arm around his shoulder to lead him away from the crowd of people.
"I doubt you're going downtown but that's the best exit," He pointed at a dark corridor that was the farthest away from them. "Central Area is also where I'm going so I could lead you there."
