* Alois would pull his hood down, looking to the woman he would chuckle saying*"Asking a stranger a question like that, is it really any of your concern?"*as he would sigh and unsheathe his sword about an inch, looking at the blade, it was nothing special, but it had been through a lot, evident by the scratches and marks on its surface, although his family was not one of renown, it as one that had a long history of wielding the blade, this blade was the symbol of his family, from his grandfather to his father, and now to him, it continued to serve its purpose. He would then close it saying*"but alas, I am bored so why not, to answer your question, my reason for coming to the reach is rather simple really, almost laughable to be exact, it is because I am bored, and when one is bored naturally they wish to be not bored, I have travelled many places, from the lands of the west that I have the honor of calling my homeland, to the bastion of the fiery ashlands, to the bitter cold of skykeep in the north, yet I have not managed to find a way to cure my boredom. The lands of the reach are the only ones left, and I must admit, this spire that I have heard about is quite intriguing."*as he would finish speaking, he would pull out some jerky from a small pouch on his waist taking a few bites. "You want to hear more about my travels?, well I am afraid you are still a complete stranger to me, I told you enough to stave off my boredom for a bit, plus it looks like we are almost at our destination" as he would pull his hood back up.I hope this one is up to snuff.
