  Only Littlefair notices as the door to the Dragons-inn opens yet again
to reveal another new customer, one who seems to drift rather than walk
across the room disturbing none with his presence. As he moves, the strangers
eyes constantly shift from side to side along his course, stopping only once   
he reaches the bar when their full gaze is turned on Littlefair. He asks for 
a glass of the strongest wine and while it is fetched the innkeeper cannot
help but think of the tone behind the request - a very controlled but great   
feeling of anger - making him hope that it was none in his inn that had incurred
this mans wrath.

   While his drink is poured the stranger looks around the inn until his gaze
rests upon a table against the wall where two men garbed in black armour sit 
alongside 5 empty chairs. The black leather armour this newcomer wears has  
exactly the same ivory bands as theirs and it makes his blond hair and piercing blue eyes stand out in contrast atop his small (5'2) but strong and lithe body. Exchanging a gold coin for his drink he moves towards
this table and with only a nod to the two already there he takes one of the 
available places leaning forward in the chair so that the two slightly curved 
swords on his back are not trapped there.
