Prelude
Dirty blonde hair blew about in the wind as Jack Simpson wrinkled his nose, expressing a silent disapproval of the cold weather. Walking into an inn for shelter, his teeth still slightly chattering, he rubbed his hands together before entering the throng of people in the roofed area for the same reason. There was no table for himself, of course not, nor were there many secluded areas in which he could quietly sit without being disturbed.
Jack Simpson was a man who would call himself bold like a bobcat might call itself a tiger. In great crowds, especially of people above him or simply immune to him, Simpson preferred to keep quiet, hiding under the brush until he spot something safe and weak to pounce on.
As Fate would have it, the seat he chose was situated next to a Sergeant.
His name was Obadiah Hakewill.
