"[color=39b54a]Oh? Is that so? Good luck on it kid, you got stiff competition to be the best. Myself included.[/color]" Sora sounded somewhat skeptical of that dream. A castle larger than any Kings? What possible use could he have for that? Oh well, it wasn't Sora's concern anyway. If that was what he wanted to aim for he could, the sky was the limit.
"[color=39b54a]Oh the job might take more than just fresh perspective kid. You're going to need combat ability and searching or tracking skills.[/color]" Sora knew Verrick's name but was still deliberately calling him kid. Verrick reminded him of someone else when he was younger, but couldn't quite pin who.
It didn't take them too long till [url=http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/swordartonline/images/d/d5/Taft_inn.png/revision/latest?cb=20140310041527]The Drunken Cardinal[/url] inn was within Sora's sights. Out the front was a young girl with milky blue hair sitting with her head atop her knees, almost as if she was bored of waiting for something or someone. Although they couldn't see her face through her hoodie, she was actually drifting off to sleep.
As the duo approached she half-turned her head sleepily towards them and immediately shot to her feet, wide awake now.
"[color=bc8dbf]Sora![/color]" Her voice was surprisingly soft with just a hint of cheerfulness. It only took the girl a few steps to reach them before she went to wrap Sora up in a hug, however the older mage had stuck a hand out and was holding her back by pressing his palm into her forehead. The impact of running straight into his palm made her hood fall off as her blood red eyes looked up towards Sora with their usual coldness, however a glimmer of confusion could be seen.

Ethel didn't quite understand why he had stopped her. Normally he allowed her to run over and wrap around him.
"[color=39b54a]....Where are the other two?[/color]" Sora asked with a deep sigh before turning to Verrick "[color=39b54a]It's hard to find competent and not completely useless help these days.[/color]" Sora remarked quickly as he already knew the answer. The slightly guilty look in her eyes now and the way her gaze quickly went to the ground gave him all the information he needed.
The three of them had gotten separated while exploring the town, hadn't they? This happened almost every time they entered a new town, no matter how bloody small it was and frankly it was a pet peeve of his.
Ethel seemed to pout slightly before noticing Verrick for the first time. Oh that explained why he stopped her. Her pout quickly turned into a frown as she scooted over to the other side of Sora, peeking round nervously before quickly hiding once more.
"[color=39b54a]...Well this is an improvement. Normally she would've attempted to slice you in half.[/color]" Sora remarked with a slightly surprised tone. He was glad his restraint training was finally starting to show some results.
"[color=39b54a]Oh yeah kid, this here is the client. Introduce yourself Ethel.[/color]" Sora quickly went back to rude abrasive tone now as Ethel peeked round once more, this time with a slight hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"[color=bc8dbf]Ethel's name is Ethel Storm. It's....umm...A pleasure to meet you?[/color]" Ethel sounded unsure as she looked up towards Sora who simply sighed again. At least she was getting better at introducing herself.

Jasmine nodded slowly in response to Penny as she felt a strange warmth radiate from her shoulder. The warmth was soothing and for some strange reason 'loving' in a way. Similar to the warmth of her mothers hugs.
She a couple of deep breaths as she tried to calm down. Soon enough her headache began t fade as she turned back t Penny.
"[color=f49ac2]To be honest....I have no idea. I'm sure I've never met or heard of them before...Surely I would remember that.[/color]" Jasmine bit her lower lip nervously as she thought back to them. She was sure it was their magic which had made her memories fuzzy...however there was something else nagging her in the back of her mind.
"[color=f49ac2]They also seemed to be arguing when I met them then they spotted me. One of them pointed towards me and my body began to glow...next thing I remember was waking up in the hotel with Cody. In between isn't even foggy, it's just.....gone. Blank.[/color]"

Cody gritted his teeth as Nidhogg spoke once more. Let Amaya die, or innoncent civilians die? The hand on the pommel of his sword started trembling, but not out of fear. More like out of frustration, anger....hatred.
"[color=ed1c24]...You're both from the same guild aren't you?[/color]" Cody asked slowly as he tightened his grip on the sword. It was a question he thought he already knew the answer to, since they seemed to know each other rather well, however he also felt the need to ask and confirm. But he didn't expect an answer either.
Shiro meanwhile was frowning deeply towards Nidhogg. She knew that she should probably at least try to stop or talk him down, however a small part of her was afraid of him. The look in his eyes, and the fact that he was already angry with Shiro, made her uncomfortable.
"[color=7ea7d8]Nidhogg-sama we must eliminate the witnesses as well, no?[/color]" Shiro eventually broke her small bout of silence as she teleported besides Nidhogg and whispered towards him.
"[color=7ea7d8]And should we not get Manami-sama? She should be done soon.[/color]"
