Dressed like a beggar

The real Keeper of the Halls's description of Eric's appearance after Eric cleaned part of the steel rafters. Eric's description of himself was "My hair, my face, my arms and much everything else was covered with streaks of black soot. There was a trickle of crusted blood down my left ear and I of course still wore the rugged Tyranno Oil stained Soak stone sack, girded with my own belt."
