After such a long time away from the world he had departed so long ago, Kaz sat in Festival Square watching the people he did not know walking past. He adjusted the sword that was strapped to his back carefully. He was still not accustomed to carrying it. It had been years since anyone had attacked him openly, but twice Kaz had found himself at the point of a weapon and had to talk himself out of it. Luckily Kaz knew some tricks to make himself more persuasive, and he walked away with his coin purse and life both intact.
After some time a beautiful woman walked into the square with her eyes down and headed straight for the fountain like she had no intention of stopping. "Before you decide to walk clean through that fountain I would recommend a small spell." Kaz says jovially with a slight smirk on his face. The woman looks up at Kaz slightly startled and says "You mean Me?"
Kaz nodded slightly from his place on the bench "you look as though you have plenty on your mind." Kaz comments casually. The woman explained about her husband leaving and Kaz offered his limited experience on the matter of Love. She also talked about her young daughter Emalia, which led to conversations about the "Jihad", yet one more thing that Kaz must have missed in his long absence from the workings of this world along with the giant Rock sitting practically motionless over head. The conversation turned from that to weapons as the Woman asked about the Sword strapped to Kaz's Back. "You don’t appear to be the sort to wear such a weapon." She said with a slight smile on her face. This eventually ended in the woman challenging Kaz to a sparring match in which she pulled out her two hulking swords and twirled them menacingly obviously ready to take out some agression. The situation was quickly diffused by a tall man sporting the insignia of the Crimson Guardians, Kaz's clan from before his departure.
"Stand down My lady." The man said evenly. The woman looked at him and obviously noting his insignia said hurriedly, "Nay, it was just to spar." And quickly followed with a barrage of questions about her daughters whereabouts and if she was ok or not, All of which the guardian answered reassuringly.
When the woman mentioned that Kaz had been a Guardian at one point the hair stood up on the back of Kaz's neck as The Man looked him over and introduced himself as Throm uth Bannon. The family name sounded familiar though it had been a long time and his old memory failed him. The woman introduced herself as Sanria Haverland, and Kaz introduced himself as just Kaz, purposefully leaving out his complete name in hopes that his first name would not tip the scales of the Guardian's memory as to who he was.
After some small talk Kaz politely excused himself and slung his sheath back across his back and murmured some hasty goodbyes and promises of help should it be needed to Sanria. and Excused himself to head back to the Yawning Portal Inn and the Much needed drink that awaited him.
