The blacksmith looked Kait over like she had him, his curiosity obviously flaring a bit. Around these port towns, one would assume you'd get all sorts of odd characters walking around. But, then again, she didn't see many ships coming to and fro the port. Had something happened around the time she came into town? There were a lot of blacksmiths and the forge was pounding away just as hard as it was last night...

[color=fff200]"Firstly I ain't no Sir, I ain't been knighted nor do I claim lordship over any lands..."[/color]

A small noise escaped Kait's mouth, halfway between an [color=indianred]"Ah"[/color] of confirmation and a [color=indianred]"Huh?"[/color] of confusion. Not many people outright refused to be called sir where she was from. In fact, most insisted on being called sir, or lady should the case be. But she'd let it lie, and just call him 'Shamus'. He also emphasized that the food was bought, and they got a discount for helping out. That certainly answered her question on where the boats were, in the shop, but the more pressing matter was if he thought she was a thief. She thought she was dressed fine, did the spear on her back make it look like she was a highwayman?

[color=indianred]"I'm just a traveling Magus. I was hoping to get some cheap food..."[/color] She explained, holding up her light coin purse. [color=indianred]"As I said, I'd assumed the food would be cheap. I suppose I'll check the shop though. What is it's name?"[/color] She asked. Unfortunately, Shamus wouldn't get a chance to respond, as rhythmic marching tore the beastwoman's attention away.

Throughout the streets the town's guards marched, spears and swords at the backs of men, women, and children. Those in the line looked as if they were about to cry, either from their own fate, or others. A few stood strong, facing their fate with honor though. The townspeople gave the group a grim look, but resumed their activities as if nothing had happened. The rat looked to Shamus with a worried look. [color=indianred]"What's going on? Why are the knights escorting those people? Where are they taking them?"[/color] She inquired. As this was going on she looked into the sky and noticed it was noon. If any people had things they needed to do, now would be the time to get in position.
