Yadira
It had been a few days since the woman had arrived in Nagaya. She had been travelling for weeks after visiting her former sister in arms at her new place of business in Bradena. After catching up and reminiscing of the old days, being treated to her newest and most successful product and a pastry of her choosing. She was a bit taken aback by her offer of employment of establishment and to be honest, a bit tempted. She wasn't hurting for coin, being a former hero had it's perks after all, but in truth, much like her old comrade, she tired of all the fighting. She wanted more than just waiting for the blow that would cause her to lay her sword down for good, if she was to set it down, she wanted it to be her choice.
"No sister, all of this is yours, if I am to find my purpose, it must be by my own hand" she lifted her hand in protest as she spoke
Viv sighed at her comrade's stubborness "You always were a stubborn old goat Yadira, pride isn't gonna get you what you want you know"
"Oho, got me all figured out do you? And what is it exactly that you think I want?" The woman crossed her arms in amusement as she waited for an answer from her.
Viv leaned forward towards the woman "I know you well enough to know you don't want to be swinging that sword of yours well into your old age"
"You.....perhaps you are right, nevertheless I must find what I'm looking for on my own. I'll make you a deal, if I can't find what I'm looking for, I'll be back here willing and ready to work"
"Gods, your're stubborn.......fine, but I'll not be taking no for an answer next time. I hope you find what you're looking for"
She remembered the conversation all too well and hit resonated with her a little too much, yet for all the protesting she could have done and did do, Viv was right. She wanted a new life, or at least one that did not involve her ending up in an early grave. Truth be told, she had plans to leave the company after everything was all said and done, had they not disbanded, but finding a new lease on life was harder than she thought. She was reduced to taking odd jobs and travelling from place to place hoping to find something she could she could replace her current line of work. Maybe she would find it in this village.
"Na-Ga-ya, I could live to be a hundred years old and never learn to say these names properly."
She figured while she was here, she may as well see if there were any jobs she could do, or at the very least find a decent place to stay for the night. Navigating a town she had only been to a handful of times was hard enough, but this was a town she had never been to, of course there were many small towns she visited with her comrades. She did not plan to explore an entire city looking for a place to stay.
"You there, woman, I would like to find a place to stay, do you have any recommendations?"
