Passing through an area clearly devoted to military encampments and training grounds he keeps moving, not allowing himself to look at details of the structures lest he be accused of spying.

*There is a lot of activity around the barracks. Soldiers going out for training, for guard duty, people coming in to restock, carriers with weapons and armour ordered at local smiths coming to deliver the packages. One soldier, standing guard at the gates to his barracks, and looking both pretty tired and rather warm (just having had training), notices the stranger, and thinks he looks a bit lost*
Can I help you, sir?

Oh, sorry sir. I have just arrived here - through one of the portals in hte woods - and was trying to find myself somewhere to stay for a while.
Can you direct me?"

An Inn, sir? Not in this section, I'm afraid. What kind of budget are you on, if you don't mind my asking? There are several places to stay in town, you know, some more comfortable and more expensive than others.

He frowns.
"I suppose I should be a bit careful - but for the first week or so I think I would like to be comfortable. I have the money - well, enough for my needs."
(Now the soldier looks he can see that the man's shoes are a little worn, and the robe is frayed at the hem and shows signs of patching.)

*The soldier scratches his head*
Well... I suppose you could go to the Evensong. It's in the city centre, and I hear it's good for no charge at all, but it's a bit of a shady place. Then there's of course the Green Angel, but you don't want to go there at all, and- no, you'd want to go to the Evensong, probably.
*He gives him directions*

Chuckles. "No charge sounds good to me - conserve my funds a bit. Thanks, very much."
He turns to walk off, then digs in his pouch and tosses the man a gold coin.
"Get yourself some beers when you've finished."
He walks off in the direction of the Evensong.

=Sieg walks into the area and starts talking with his regulars here, and can't help but pick a few pockets. The danger of being caught here was intensly extreme, so he just couldn't pass it up.=

*The soldier can't hide a smug smile no matter how hard he tries, and wipes some dust off of his uniform, then looks back at the boy.*
Yeah, sure.
