Sanfor sits. "Thank you for the invitation." He says, trying to be courteous, that's not his strong suit. The training has only roughened him.

"I believe it is important to get to know the people that may one day be responsible for my life. Tell me: How did a person such as yourself come to be here?"

"I believe it is important to get to know the people that may one day be responsible for my life. Tell me: How did a person such as yourself come to be here?"
"Always been a wanderer, ended up here almost accidentally. Just in time, too. I was done with the wandering, and then boom, I'm on your doorstep and you're looking for guards."

"That is good, because the Shadow Guard are the best. What do you know of this kingdom?"

"That is good, because the Shadow Guard are the best. What do you know of this kingdom?"
