Valen hated this outfit as he looked over his reflection. It was so drab. So… Dirty looking. Yet that was the point. He worked to smudge some dirt over his face to add to the look. A particular dark smudge right over the heart tattoo on his cheek. There just right.

Slipping from his room at the Forgotten Knight, Valen made his way down into the Brume. This was where rumors last made mention of the man he was hunting today. While he preferred targets that were monsters not men, today he made the hard choice. He needed the extra gil for Starlight.

He picked a spot not far from another beggar looking for alms. Hoping to spy the man he looked for while pretending to be one of the local poor. Gods it sucked playing this role. Even more so because of the bitter cold of Ishgard. At least the cold made it a little easier to look pathetic as he shivered. He’d take the Shroud over this place any day.

Begging passerbys as he waited. At once point actually managing to get a slightly less ripe apple even as he pretended. Well at least he was doing a good job faking it apparently.

There! He carefully masked his behavior as he munched on the apple. Or at least made it look like he was munching on the apple and watching warily for someone that might try to steal it. His eyes however were on his hunt mark. Waiting till the man was heading towards the deeper part of the Brume before he got up to follow. Picking up his longbow from where he had stashed it earlier.

Time to hunt.
