His eyes wandered around while he casually walked through the village. It was strange, he had left home to learn more about the world and how to improve his alchemy and now Adelaide managed to find himself on a strange island. At least the people here were polite to him, though some gave him strange glances throughout the day. Despite his efforts to find a way back home, it was tough to do without a source of income. "Damn, I knew I should have stayed back in Essryn." The young man thought to himself as he approached a square, the sound of a call for research perked his ears. As he approached the location of the voice, he glanced at the crowd of people already located there.
Adelaide stood quietly, slightly outside of the group range, as he listened to the conversations that were being had. Although he came in at the latter part of it, from what he grasped it was something about spirits, mermaids, and something about a research expedition on some isle. Although he was sure it was all un-related to the research expedition, but it did peak his interest. Perhaps this would be his ticket to a way back home and perhaps some source of income?
"Excuse me, I couldn't help but overhear your conversations, but I heard that you were looking for people to participate in a research expedition. I might not know much about what you're researching, but I am an alchemist and a healer."
The young alchemist would finish his statement with a friendly smile as he waited for a response.
