He sets down his bag and unpacks his things: a map, some food, a flask of water, a few tools, a tattered saddle blanket, and a small pocket watch.
[OOC: I can't remember if he did anything with his backpack beforehand, so I'm assuming he'd brought it along with him the whole time.]
The afternoon fades a little bit as he does this, but with so little to take care of, he finds that there is still quite a bit remaining.
OOC: That makes sense. By the same logic, Robin's probably been along the whole way, too.
By the way, the character list/descriptions is finished, I just need to get it posted.
[OOC: Ooh, awesome. ]
Robin sniffs his new surroundings, happy with the adventure. After unpacking, Azril straightens up and takes a moment to take in the scene out one of the windows.

He can see a long, low series of hills stretching into the distance, more heavily forested than the rest of the surrounding area.
OOC: Unless you have some particular plan, I'll go ahead and move things along after your next reply. Also, I'll try to get that posted soon, probably this weekend.

OOC: Alright then.
IC: The afternoon passes slowly, and eventually Dernis shows back up. Azril sees him approaching through a window, and a few minutes later hears the knock on the door. "He's ready for you."
OOC: I found a sudden abundance of free time this afternoon, so the characters are being posted right after this.

"Do I need to bring anything with me?"
OOC: Excellent. :3
"No, he just needs to talk to you." Dernis leads Azril back to the tower and up to Hithrol's office.
The door is open and Hithrol gives a friendly smile, gesturing for Azril to come inside. "Thank you, Dernis."
"Yes, come in, sit down." He gestures to the chair on the opposite side of his desk. "How has your day been?"
"It's been awesome!" he blurts as he seats himself. "This place is so cool, and there's so much to learn! I can't believe I'm gonna become a Rider!"
Hithrol chuckles softly. "That's good to hear. I'm glad to have you here. Now, there are a few business items we need to discuss. As long as you're here, we can provide what you need -- food, clothing, weapons. You'll also receive a portion of the income from any missions you participate in, and if you would like additional funds you may file a request. In terms of your training, I've been talking to Dernis and we've laid out a schedule. You'll be working on archery with Eldren in the morning, followed by a brief combat session with Zariana. After lunch, you'll pick up with the combat training for a while, then move to other lessons. And finally you'll work with Obsȃr in the smithy. I'd imagine you'll be ready to find a Companion in a month, and from there you'll continue your training with him or her until you're ready for missions. What do you think?"

"That sounds great!" He pauses and asks in a more serious tone, "Is it-- is it allowable for me to send some of the funds I earn to a certain place?"

Hithrol nods. "Of course. Where would you like to send them?"
Hithrol nods. "Of course. Where would you like to send them?"
"Alsene. That's where my mother lives with her husband."
"That's what I thought. Well, I'll see what we can do, but there are only so ships that go between the continents often enough, and fewer that can get a delivery safely all the way to Alsene."

"That's all right. Her husband works, he just doesn't--" He hesitates. ". . . he just doesn't always use the money he earns to support her."
