"Sorry, just bad memories" Azu said after a few silent moments, but the smith had already moved on to his next task. That was probably for the best, she thought as she took the material she had bought. As she did, her Scroll buzzed a notification in her pocket. Pulling it out one handed, she saw that it had connected to the local job board, and that a new posting had just gone up. Placing her material back on the counter, Azu decided that this was the perfect thing to get her mind back in order and, when she came back, she could focus on her craft.
"I apologize for this sudden change of plans, but can you hold onto my materials and the time I purchased? Something just came up and I want to go take care of it before I distract myself." When she had left the academy, She had been told she had to work on her teamwork, since she had been excommunicated from the other teams she had been a part of. As much as she hated having people to hold her back, there were actual Hunters and Huntresses here. Surely if she completed missions with them, she would only grow stronger for it.
"Excuse me," she ventured, approaching the woman who had just called out for volunteers, "Is it possible for me to join you? I just need to put my luggage away and I'll be ready to go."
