(Danke.)

The moment he was in Riften, Clarent decided to give Kay and Dacian a wide berth, given that they apparently still hadn't gotten over the fact that he'd interrupted a private moment and wanted to take what meager number of coins he still had. Instead of following them to wherever the hell it was they were going, he headed to the inn for a meal. He noticed the Redguard man was there, as were a number of shadier-looking characters, including some Khajiit sitting in the corner. On account of a lack of interest in getting mugged, Clarent left shortly after he finished eating.

The question now was this: what the hell was he going to do now? He was in the city and he was fairly certain that his shadow was either gone or unwilling to follow him into the city limits. However, if Clarent wanted to stay here, he would need to find a job of some kind, for he had no desire to live in the Ratway and was most certainly not going back out into the wilderness. Unfortunately, Clarent's skill set did indeed fall almost solely upon magic-based skills. Given that there was already a court wizard, resident alchemist, and group of healers (that being the priests), he wasn't left with much to work with.

He was heading towards the aforementioned alchemist to see if maybe he could become an assistant when his attention was suddenly drawn to the city gates. Standing by them was a tall man outfitted in reinforced steel armor. He was looking right at Clarent.

Almost instantaneously, all of the thoughts in Clarent's mind were replaced by those that recognized that he was truly and utterly fornicated.

Quickly he turned around and headed the other direction, but it was too late. The man was already coming for him. One of the gate guards followed the man while the other guards looked on, keeping a close watch on Clarent in particular. The mage just kept walking, trying to get to the market. He didn't want anyone else to get hurt, but if they attempted to attack him at the town square, the chaos that would ensue might be enough for him to escape the city.

Of course, that was probably just wishful thinking, but he kept walking anyways.
