[Ever since the turn of the month, there has been a seventh patrolman around the town. Of course, were someone to check the official records, there would only be six, there weren't any openings, and no one has been hired in recent days.
The truth of the matter is that Schwann didn't look for employment. He didn't think about an extended stay. He simply joined the others on the patrol because he didn't know what else to do. It was just like that other woman said. This was a peaceful town. Quiet. Serene.
There were times when that would put him on edge. His hand would stray, drift across his body to his hilt, even when there was no trouble to be had. His eye would dart left and right, prepared for trouble but never finding it. In particularly bad times, he would attempt to brush his hair out of his face for an increased range of vision, but even that wouldn't help.
It wouldn't last long. Every time he would gear up for a fight, Schwann would remind himself that this isn't home. There's no war going on. And even though this town may not exist in Terca Lumireis, its people still needed security. If he wasn't going to return to the battlefield any time soon, he might as well carry his skills over.]
((Until the end of the event, Schwann's going to be patrolling the town, but hasn't actually picked up a job. Feel free to poke him.))
