Part IV
Nordlute walked the streets. Doing so was a good way to collect his thoughts. Sometimes he needed to get away from the glowing screens with their many distractions. Who was this servant girl who worked for Torundel? It was very rare to find a young person with no social media presence. Perhaps she had something to hide.
He passed a tree covered in flyers disparaging the Count. That was a traditional form of shitposting with a long history. Everyone knew that Runt Odel was behind that campaign.
He passed the legal offices of Ren du Lot. Nordlute had used him for a rent dispute, but the guy was incompetent and had lost him a lot of money. He spat on the doorstep to express his contempt.
It was actually a lovely day and Nordlute found himself wandering far from home through parks and along the river. Although he lived in a city he generally felt lonely. He was good at his work, but it was mostly done alone and he struggled to find anyone to make music with. His long working hours made social activities difficult. He had resorted to paying for sex a few times, but the coldness of the streetwalkers made it lacking in satisfaction.
Nordlute walked the streets.
