Walking through the busy streets, Abel kept his hands in his pockets, and a smile on his face, greeting everyone along his way, he was looking for the local inn, and stopped to ask a few young ladies the were abouts of it, even though he already knew of its location. Arriving only an hour or so after he had started heading there, he inquired for a single room. Initially, dealing with the fact that with the destruction that had occurred, there was a lack of rooms, but through some superior negotiation, bribery and flirting, he managed to secure a room. Sitting on the bed, he spoke aloud to himself, "Well that was easier than I thought." bouncing up and down a bit, the bed wasn't as quality as he was used to, but still nice, the room also had a nice large chair in the corner, could make for a good spot to do some reading? But that could be done later, as he had some more business to attend to.
Stepping out again into the busy streets, he had changed his clothes, now looking like a commoner, he would draw less attention as he spoke with the people during his investigation. He asked a few people, finding that most didn't want anything to do with him, so he resorted to his dirty tactics, he went to those he knew he could outwit, and manipulate into getting him intell. It had worked, as he was pointed in the direction of the head carpenter, after tailing him for a short time, he concluded that the information must be fake, that was before he heard mention of tonight, and what sounded like talk about creating a paradise using the abyss. "Well isn't this something else indeed." He spoke low to himself as he slithered away, back to the crowds.
On his way back to the inn though, he would find something disturbing, least, disturbing to him, an orphan being beaten by a carpenter. Clenching his teeth, Abel started walking over to them, regaining his composure along the way, he swiftly took down the man with one swing of his arm, then wrote a note and left it on the man, looked at the boy, who stared up at him in tears and awe, "Run, I may have solved your problem for now, but surely he will get up later," He gave the kid a genuine smile and saw him off. Abel then returned to the inn, surely nothing else too exciting would happen before the night, right?
