"No spicy food... I think I can arrange it so you don't have to worry about it," Drake hmmed slightly, and after a few steps she would suddenly redirect the two of them into a small cafe that also serves small, cheap meals. "Anyway, what brings you to Crocus? The games?" Drake would ask as she sat down at a table, using her foot to push out a chair opposite of her for Levi.

If hurrah meant 'let me sleep' then yes, hurrah.

@hatakekuro

Sure.

Good night.

Talk to you tomorrow!

And I'll still be up for awhile due to insomnia. :D

@hatakekuro

Hurrah!

Well, I'll just edit my response in

@hatakekuro

Alright,

I will check your latest post when I wake up in 11 hours or so.

"Oh, I was just curious, it's not particularly important," Drake would wrap my arm around Levi's, walking in away from the guild hall. "You don't mind if we get a meal between the two of us first though, right? I want to make sure you won't do something utterly repulsive later," Drake would glance up at her new date to dinner. "Not that you could top Grant anyway. Two years ago, he not only came to dinner bloodstained, spent the entire time gloating about how fun killing that guy was, and made sure we all had to worry that every bite perhaps wasn't cow meat, but halfway through the meal he got in a... dispute with Solux. Gregory barely managed to break it up before they brought the building down. Dinner was smashed though. Since then Master Vale has kept a much much tighter leash on Solux, and restricts the guild dinner conversations to, what he calls, 'polite anecdotes.' No more gloating over whatever you've done last is basically what he meant, which is just fine by me."

I'm fully aware of how armor works, but chain is also considerably lighter than plate and a good choice for someone learning to use a sword.

@Zarkun

Most of the problem with chain is that it's super expensive due to how difficult it is to make.

But, if you can afford it, sure, it's fine armor.

My position on armor after reading a bit of the IC

You do realize full plate armor only weighs like, fifty pounds right? That's heavy, but most people can still wear it since the weight is distributed around your body (don't expect bad ass swordsman or a fast runner though), partial plate, however, is more reasonable for someone who wants to be a skillful swordsman, as would scale mail (though it isn't as good as plate). As for chain mail, that crap is ridiculously hard to make and therefore prohibitively expensive, which is why generally only the rich folk wear it.

And that's my quick lesson on armors diluted from a couple essays I read and some quick google searches to fact-check what I remembered.

Anyway.

I got my first job :D
Exciting~!

Also, @Caits good luck on whatever tests you said you would be taking.

Also hello to all the people that have joined that I haven't said anything to yet! Some of you have probably been around since magic council though, since I never talk to anyone anyway.

Drake watched as Levi leaped from statement to statement, trying to say everything on his mind at once. It was a commendable effort, but it brought Drake to a smile when he just gave up and tried to simplify what he wanted to say to a single statement. "Alm Drake. Well, Levi Ernest," she would take his hand as she said this. "You don't have to go if you don't want to, I know plenty people who'd want anything better than spending a meal with the Vale Family. Luna and the more lawful good individuals might make it more tolerable though, so, if you're going to come, wear something nice, but not fancy, it'll be around seven. Besides that, I think I saw a good place when I was wondering the city earlier for us to grab a somewhat quick bite now," Drake would continue her charming smile as she pointed in the general direction of where she meant. "Also, how old are you?"

"I dunno, I was going to ask you to the guild dinner tonight, but judging by your facial expression when I said we were called a dark guild I'd guess you'd rather not do that, so maybe just a quick mid-afternoon meal at the first restaurant we come across that looks like it has good food? So long as it isn't one of those super expensive ones, that is," Drake would smile at Levi. "Unless you'd rather not go eat some food with a member of a 'dark guild.' But don't just say yes if your afraid of me or whatever, I'm low woman on the totem pole so I couldn't arrange anything unless I really needed to."
