Cinewine was a place barely deserving a name. A waystation between two important cities in a small duchy daring survival as each day passed. It was a common place for Irving to end up. Its few taverns, inns and whorehouses suited him fine. The stopping point was even a good place to find work if you happened to run into the right person. Sometimes it was shady but anything was better than becoming a beggar. Especially on these uncaring roads where people were spat on or ignored.
Irving was a common nomad, wander, finding work wherever he could get it. He’d taken on a number of jobs sending him all over the region, covering the place like a swarm of locust. Although he was never quite as successful as they were, he did what he could.
As the sun began hiding behind the mountains outside, Irving was inside drinking stale liquor from a mug at the counter. Listening to the gusts of wind outside and the casual conversation inside he tried to be wary of opportunity. And thieves. A pointed reason why he had two daggers stashed on either side.
Dragging his hand through his dark hair he half turned to the room, looking over it. It was a mix of everything. Business, pleasure, loners and those who couldn’t be without. As Irving noticed his mug growing lighter he reached into a pouch, flipping another coin onto the counter. The servant girl came by, picking up the coin, refilling his mug with the dark liquid. He wasn’t quite sure what he was going to do tonight. Stay at the tavern and drink away the evening or head across the street to the inn to get started early on the next day.
