As Traven approached the steps of the merchant school, he realized that he had forgotten to change into his nice clothing. He couldn’t believe he had almost walked in without changing. If he went in looking like he did now with his soiled traveling clothes, he wouldn’t make a very good impression at all. He wondered where he might be able to change before going inside the merchant school to check in. He turned away from the school and continued down the street. At the end of the street there was a narrow alley that wound away from the street between tall buildings.

Traven got down from Pennon and after looking around to make sure that no one was watching, led him back into the alley. When the alley abruptly ended at a stone wall, he set Pennon to block him from view from the front and pulled his black clothes from his saddlebag, quickly changing into them. Once he had stuffed his dirty clothes into his saddlebag, he tried to smooth out the wrinkles in his brand new silver threaded black clothes. He then tied his red cloth back around his arm and buckled his sword belt on. He squeezed past Pennon and led him back out of the alley. A few people looked at him strangely as he emerged from the alleyway but continued on with their business. Traven walked down the street leading Pennon, confident in his new appearance.

After leaving Pennon with a stable boy at the side of Kalia’s Merchant Academy, Traven took a deep breath and walked up the stone steps and into the reception area of the school. The room was quite large with a fireplace at the end and several couches to sit down upon and visit. He spotted a middle aged, overweight man doing some paperwork behind a large desk and approached him. The man was intent on what he was doing so Traven waited patiently. He was surprised that there were not more people checking in. He had been told that check in was anytime during the week before the term started. He was only a day or two early and had thought there would probably be others who would be arriving about the same time. From what he understood, the schooling would consist of six days in a row of classes and then he would have a day off before starting another six consecutive days. Other than that he really didn’t know what to expect. The man behind the front desk finally set his papers down and came over to help Traven.

“Sorry about the wait, young master. Can I help you?”

Traven was so surprised at how the man had addressed him that it took a few moments for him to answer back. He guessed that he really did look like he was wealthy in his new clothes.

“Hello, sir. My name is Traven, and I’m here to check in for the winter and spring term.”

The man looked at Traven with confusion for a few moments before walking over to a notebook and opening it up.
