He rolled out of bed with a groan. The bite of cold in the air was his first clue that the fire had gone out while he slept and, not for the first time, he bemoaned his life as a bachelor. Huddled over the hearth, he carefully built the fire anew, ruminating on his regrets. If only she'd returned his affections, if only independence was not her guiding principle, if only he hadn't said... that thing. He might have had Belshyve to help him stay warm at night.

Still, he needed to get paid and the unreasonable winter that had arrived in Bloodriven, with its blisteringly frigid winds, miserable amounts of snow, and bone-breaking ice patches would not deter him. He ate quickly, dressed, and stepped out the door, pulling the collar of his navy blue coat more tightly closed in a futile attempt to keep out the bitter wind. The snow crunched underfoot, and the thought crossed his mind that the extraordinary chill of winter this year might not be an entirely natural occurrence. He shrugged at the idea. It didn't matter, he had work to do. Adjusting the shiny gold badge pinned to his lapel carefully, he set to preparing the arena approach for the onslaught of adventurers soon to be arriving.


OOC Note: Winter is coming to Duskruin! Look for new winter-themed wares, some spruced-up rooms, and the creatures in the arena might look a little icier than usual.
