Maisy had been up to questing after that first one. She'd run down an underground rat ring in the reeking sewers, found some bodies kid wandering around in the wilderness, exterminated 6 more monster nests for knight captain Howzer, and spent the rest of her day delivering peoples mails all around the city. It had been a lot of fun helping these fake people with their make beileve problems, and the resulting XP has booted her up to level ten.
Now she was just wandering the city, searching for more people that had stuff for her to do and eating a fish stick. That is, a whole fish on a stick. At some point she'd overheard that if she used a fire she could cook food, so she'd found a giant ceremonial blazer in the knights guild hall and used it to cook up all the fish she'd caught into these, which she was disappointed to find were not actual fish sticks like from the freezer.
She took another big, greasy bite. They still wearn't bad though.
