This was going to be it - he was finally going to get out of this backwater pisspot of a town. It was going to be good to be able to get back into proper society, somewhere where he could get decent contracts to do fun things rather than having to slaughter owlbear children.
This was something that he'd looked forward to ever since he'd had to part ways with his countrymen. He was going to be able to perform his usual assassin job again, and all that it was going to take was doing one simple, relatively easy job - He was being hired as a caravan guard.
Guarding a caravan was actually an easier job than he usually had. All he had to do was stay here and take care of any bandits that might want to pose a threat to the caravan. Since he would have plenty of forewarning, he was actually allowed to sleep for a small while, taking a break from the busy week he'd had.
Sitting at the front of the caravan, Jian was sitting in the shotgun position as he began to nod off. He hadn't gotten much sleep - portsmouth seemed to have a way of letting way too much cold into the city and as he came from a very warm climate it was too much change to allow him to sleep comfortably.
Honestly, he would probably do better in Helio, but he still had a few weeks until the people who'd come here for the coronation would be finished with their business so he had a few weeks of high contract work left. Thus, he was going to have to stay in this country for a bit longer, so it was sensible to get a bit of sleep whilst he could.
The people he was travelling with knew to warn him if they were going to come into any difficulty, so it was time for him to catch a few hours. His eyes were falling shut as he relaxed, the last thing he heard was the clopping of horse hooves as the caravan drove further and further into the back country.
