Cassian found himself in a rare open space on a chilly afternoon. The fog still lingered, keeping the sunlight from fully illuminating the city, while the already congested skies of Magisteria added to the gloom. Since arriving, he had only seen narrow, crowded streets, but here, the road was wide enough for two carriages to run side by side, though it was just as packed with people as any other part of the city.
People bustled in and out of buildings, attending to their daily tasks, while Cassian searched for one particular building where he was supposed to begin working. As Lady Katherine had informed him the previous night, the letter that arrived in the morning confirmed it. The favor Katherine had asked of someone had come through, and Cassian was now enlisted in the city's law enforcement unit.
