Oras had not too long ago helped a man who was a sea captain, yet due to the fact that a few years ago he was framed for smuggling and nobody trusted him since. Oras took a job from him and helped load and unload the man's supplies onto and from his ship as they traveled from Hargeon town to River Village. Not only that but due to his poor reputation, the man wasn't able to get many jobs, and thus lost the funds to own a large ship and crew. Of course Oras managed to help him, not only by completing the task, but by discovering that the two men besides the sailor were thieves, and showing this to the officer and citizens of the river village. With that event and with the crowd seeing the entire affair, the man's reputation was revived to it's former self. He wanted to pay Oras more than the original assignment, but he refused it and went along his way. He traveled with the guards back to Hargeon to make sure the message was delivered and moved over to the inn in order to rent a room for the night.
The entire event had taken the entire day and it was nightfall by now. As he moved for the stairs he heard someone mention something about a murder, investigation and reward. Hearing this he paused his movement, but before he became suspicious, continued moving, sitting down at a table nearby them, his back to them as well. He would eavesdrop on them in order to hear more information before doing anything. If there was a murder with a reward, depending on how good this man was, he'd be able to get quite a bit of jewel from this. And let's face it, he needed it.
