Evan's expression changed to one of shock as the person that he had recognized, was not someone who should be in this part of the continent at all!
It was someone he knew very well, probably even more so than this person knew themself.
It was a man who looked to be in his early thirties dressed in casual clothes, wearing a hoodie on his head while he was drinking alone at the counter not far from where the receptionist was.
He was a fairly muscular man wearing a dress shirt underneath his hooded jacket and black trousers.
His face was visible even though he had his hood up as it was not covering much in the first place. To an onlooker, it seemed he wore it just because he could, rather than to hide his face.
While he looked to be expressionless, Evan could see the amused glint in his eyes as he gazed at the adventurers moving around in the guild hall.
