This was why he had taken his first steps on his own from the central area of Hargeon he had always called home. He hadn't before found himself in the outskirts of the port city, especially not for any type of wandering or - dare he say - trouble-seeking, but he had heard a fair number of tales of the pirate band that had been causing trouble even this close to his jurisdiction. Jurisdiction? Did that sound official enough? He huffed a happy little sound through his nose, pumping his fists at his sides and causing the simulant gems that dangled from every limb to jostle. He caught the light like this. A boy with stars in his eyes sparkling almost as bright.
It was not all that bombastic. Truth be told, he milled about the nearby land for a number of hours, building a camarederie with the workers after explaining his intent here - that is to say, to help with anything they needed, and this led him off track the assignment. He quickly fell into a routine of using his meager physical skills and light magical work to help with off-loading, on-loading and even the laundry of the local sailor maidens. He hadn't forgotten his responsibility to these people: and this is why he did all he was asked and volunteered for more. If there were to be no pirates, at least he could --
You never chirp so early.
The setting of the sun was met with a cry in the distance, and the sudden shift in tone and unsettlement that rippled through this little community pulled Briar out of his natural ways. Rather, even -- he found himself in a brand new situation and adapted to it with percision. He was not the only fighter among the dock workers and handymen, but he was the only mage. He had an even greater duty to fulfill. He was, at this moment, officially representing Blue Pegasus, & in his first real conflict!
