Days work in Ostiarium and courting

Wolf had been working on his research and documenting everything Wolf could. Wolf had stopped by the blacksmith the first morning after Wolf got back. Wolf would have the blacksmith make some throwing blades to replace the ones he traded away. They settled on some coin. So Wolf gave the blacksmith the coins needed for the throwing blades Wolf showed him what he wanted. Being simple they would not take too long to do and using some scraps of metal helped cut cost. but get good quality throwing blades.

He worked most of the days documenting what he could of the life and the people there getting some of their stories. Wolf worked with other scholars trying to see if They could make a Society of scholars in the new colony. Wolf had met up with Elizabeth Sadir in the main square. Elizabeth took him back to speak with her father Eren Sadir reluctantly allowing Wolf to court his daughter. With all the rules that apply to courting. Wolf did spend some time with Eren Sadir getting his story. Watching as the men worked and lending a hand now and then.

On some days Wolf spent time practicing his fighting skills and maintaining his gear. Wolf realized that he did not need to carry his sword everywhere Wolf went. Wolf just carried his parry dagger and his Kukri and two other small knives. Most of the time. He did get to know some of the people in the colony better and was becoming more accepted by them. Wolf would tutor Elizabeth in language and Literature and areas of knowledge as part of the deal with courting Elizabeth.

Going to the Docks he found that no ships travel during the winter. But met a man called Damien a navigator who helped Wolf update his astrolabe. A brass, 6 inches round circle that had several other circles were used to navigate at night using the stars and by the sun. Wolf had spent time drawing symbols on his papers or a piece of cloth That Wolf would discreetly show. Only one
reacted to the symbols, Damien. Wolf had now found someone friendly to the pursuit of knowledge overall else.

Wolf wondered when the next time he would be called upon to go out on a trading assignment. He enjoyed the last one fascinating and the people friendly for the most part Hw worried about the sale of weapons to them and how that would affect the balance of power. and how that could be a greater threat to the Colony. Wolf hopped that it would all turn out for the good of the colony. Wolf knew this could go wrong in so many ways. He would have to trust Voah to do the things.
