Sen sighed as he entered the main keep of Sanctuary - Candles-point.
He quickly walked to the main administration desk located near the entrance past a few more guards. These ones he didn't know well so they gave him odd looks and looked like they wanted to attack him.
He made it to the desk where a wizened old man sat, writing upon a parchment with a quill.
"Exssscuse me ssir.... I wass looking for a 'misssing perssonss' report..."
The old man stopped, dipping his quill into the ink pot and leaving it there.
"Sorry, a 'missing persons' report you say? Hmm.... I take it that's for the girl you have with you..." The old man looked at Lita, with a kind twinkle in his eye.
Reaching below his desk he pulled out a small jar of sweets - crystalized honey mainly - and offered the jar to the girl.
Lita looked from the sweets to Sen, who gave a small nod.
Her face lit up as she slid from Sen's shoulder to the floor, grabbing two and popping one into her mouth.
The old man gave a chuckle and leaned over a stack of papers.
"Well, I am sad to say, that there hasn't been any 'missing persons' filed within the last year. A surprising fact, I must say. Although I'll bring them here so you can look, I don't think that there will be any... Please, have a seat and get comfortable. This might take a bit."
The old man left, leaving Sen and Lita at the desk to wait. Sen grimaced and then sat to wait this out. Lita hopped up into Sen's lap and curled up in the folds of his large cloak, quickly falling asleep... against Sen's chest.
Sen looked down. Oh great...now I'm pinned here... He gave a soft sigh and patted Lita on the head, ready to wait for a while.
