Tanod hadn't been rehired again for a few weeks, so he had no choice but to dorm in the Chancery, paying for the accommodations while waiting to get a job.
This was another risk in the chancery. If no territory chose to hire you, you had no choice but to pay for not-so-cheap accommodations in the Chancery. After all, they had to be accessed quickly if a territory decided to hire them.
It was taking a lot longer than usual though. Typically, fighters would be hired within 1 to 2 weeks, and much longer for auxiliary roles like cleaners, etc.
After all, it was much cheaper for territories to just hire local people and just get them to sign an oath rather than hire people they couldn't punish or hurt when they wanted to.
At the same time, after some thoughts (while he stared at the ceiling waiting), it wasn't hard to see why it was harder for him to get hired this time.
