A shipment was coming in, and although Ailwin had people for that, this shipment was particularly important to him and wanted to be there himself to see it off loaded. Since the blight had finally ended, trade and commerce were slowly getting back to normal, though it would be a long road before all of Orlais was once again safe.
Though taking advantage of the fact that most of Orlais hadn’t been safe for some time, had been at the top of Ailwin’s agenda the last few years or so. In some ways, despite the blight, they had managed to flourish as a criminal group. Mostly thanks to the Grey Warden that had left the order, also known as his co-leader and good dear friends. They always knew where the darkspawn were, and where was safe to travel because of it, always staying one step ahead of the horde.
As Ailwin entered the docks, he went down a side street. There were children playing ball, kicking it around. Ailwin’s cane made a tap as it hit the ground, as he walked through the children. Someone yelled out something about a cripple, Ailwin chose to ignore them, but then one came up and kicked the cane out of his hands. He stumbled for a moment, but regained his balance and didn’t fall over.
He might have needed the cane’s assistance, but he wasn’t entirely useless without it either. He sighed and bent down to pick the cane up, but another boy came over and kicked it further out of his reach. Someone yelled crippled knife ear, Ailwin rolled his eyes. Bunch of bratty human kids with nothing better to do.
