Francois couldn't pinpoint when he had taken the weight on his shoulders that was the well being of the occupants of la Petite Charouse, a year, maybe two? he speculated to himself. Then again, he couldn't even remember his own birthday, so long had he been on these streets that such a date held little significance when you struggled for food day in and day out.
And it was that struggle, for him and those under his protection that brought him out of his safe little corner of the world. Or at least it USED to be safe, the last few weeks and months had seen a lot of strangers trying to poke around la Petite Charouse, even with l'Empereur's guards trying to keep people out. Not that they could keep out Francois and his little band, there were paths and alleys and culverts that the high and mighty didn't know about, would never know about for they were too proud to explore those unpleasant entry points.
Although it seemed that there was at least someone around who wanted to know something that Francois did, and he was promising a lot of coin for the young urchin's assistance. Not that Francois really needed it, but there were a lot of his fellow outcasts who did, ones who had tried to make that coin themselves and disappeared, never to return. Francois felt a lot of guilt over their loss, he obviously wasn't taking enough care of them if they were going off and hunting out lucrative deals by themselves. Hopefully whatever pay Francois might gain from this endeavor would be enough to persuade a few members of his flock to stay put and avoid such risky behavior in the near future.
Although that all hinged on whether this mysterious individual showed up for their meeting...
