Chapter 50
Veron talked to a few more people but nobody struck him as an immediate fit. So he got lunch, familiarized himself and sketched a bit more of the map, and then went to the second meeting for the Modest Paths.
There were a lot more people in the afternoon but it didn't seem like anyone cared that he wasn't on the list for this one. Rover was there again, and waved him over after a while.
Ailis joined him too, nodding towards him in greeting.
“Alright. There’s a lot going on, so I can’t give you a ton of time. First one is the guy over there,” Rover said and nodded towards one of the tables where three men were talking. Two wearing steel armor, yellow capes, sword and halberd. The third looked different, wearing a light brown cloak, somewhat broad traveling clothes in the same color, and leather armor. “The one without plate.”
Veron watched as the man slightly bowed his head in an apologetic manner. The others talked to each other, shaking their heads. They seemed annoyed and then left the third man standing there.
“Nothing to share again?” Veron asked.
“His name is Isaac,” Ailis said. “He’s a tracker.”
“A tracker?” Veron asked. He saw that Rover was already talking with someone else.
