Bruyan nodded, "Oh well, I'm sure a good man such as he will show up sooner rather than later. Have there been any news regarding the Newhold? They may want more land and the Free Cities were once in the ancient Free Hold".

"Did they also say where he was from? Pentos or Tyrosh I gather?"

Bruyan nodded, "Aye it would seem so. Good day to you, and may the future be brighter than this day".

The man watched Bruyan leave, saddened that such a good man would be swept away, never to be seen again. He went back to counting his meager profits, and praying to many gods that business would come again.
