*Outside the Tavern, the boy was striking a conversation with one of the guards*
Boy:"...so there is only eight guards? You and your friends do a great job at keeping the peace."
Guard. "Well, we have to kid, do you think the Imperial Army gotta care about some small village in the middle of nowhere?".
boy:"I guess."
Guard. "You worry too much kid. I got the parameters covered. By the way, you're new."
boy: "The name is Nil, I'm a scout for a upcoming traveling circus. Just checking the audience".
Guard: " A circus. Haven't had one in a long while."
boy: "Well, you're going to get blown away in three days sir. It's nothing like you seen before".
Guard: "Ha, lets hope so kid"
