"How did it go?" Other voices echoed in the room.
The black-eyed man looked at the several people sitting in the same circle, cross-legged on a carpet with a flickering candle in the center.

"The new S-ranker is in Dawnwatch and has joined Crimson Hound Mercenaries."
"Give him paper." A person on the circle said.
Another person pulled out a piece of paper from his bag and slid it over to the black-eyed man.
He also gave the black-eyed man a pen with ink on it.
