Plenty of the folk back home had called her foolish for setting out to the capital. But then she had been called foolish before almost everything she had set out to do before. She had her share of failures, sure, however she had made a name for herself there. She was plenty confident that even starting over as she was, she could still make a name for herself here.
She knew only one person in the whole of the capital, a naïve but well meaning healer. She had thus far received one letter from him and hadn't replied. She knew that she could rely on him as an old friend....but not for this. See he was distinctly removed from her profession. The oldest profession. He had help her old brothel in many ways but she understood his ....lack of interest, in the fairer sex.
So she had set her mind to it to find the most infamous brothel close to the capital and seek employment herself before surprising him.
As it turned out the whispers and off color remarks she heard on her investigation lead not to any shady alleys in the capital itself. No, instead she found herself in Caelfell, outside a rather homely looking building. She had gone through the effort of wearing a fairly scandalous dress and tidying her hair before arriving. Even so she unconsciously spruced the red locks of hair about her shoulders as she hoist up her small traveling trunk and entered Candlelight's. Her eyes quickly casting about for anyone with even an ounce of authority to their face and a flawless mask of confidence on her own.
