"You have requested to see me?"

Aire entered the greeting area of your wing of the castle and bowed to you. His amber eyes reminiscent of a tiger as they tracked your movements across the room. The long portion of his black hair drifted into his eyes as you spotted his other ear sitting prominently on the shaved portion on the right side of his head. A single long earring dangling from it. He wore black leather garments and gloves that matched his black leather boots. A single golden handled dagger sat on his waist. He had been recommended as someone to guide you during your stay here by one of the palace advisors.

"I was told you wish to visit the market square, is that correct?"

He asked as he straightened to a standing position. He had infiltrated the castle as a knowledgeable guide. Quickly earning the favor of the court to where he was almost guaranteed to be the recommendation when you arrived. He had been there to show you around the castle when you first showed up though he wouldn't blame you if you hadn't remembered. It was a busy time after all.

All he needed to do was get you to trust him and let down your guard. You would be an easy mark, looking for someone to confide in when you were left to fend for yourself in this foreign, to you, kingdom. He needed to get you to keep him by your side. After all, that was what the contact had paid him to do. Get close to you and then await orders. He suspected they wanted him in place he needed to dispose of you. A thought that caused an unwelcome twinge in his chest.
