Vance stood back, and watched as others signed up for the quest. Just by looking at some of them, he knew that they wouldn’t stand a chance against the things that they were up against. There were some formidable looking people that signed up as well.
The young woman who had fallen earlier; She seemed to be doing better now
An angry looking person of elvish descent who was adorned with feathers, writing quickly, and looking annoyed at the whole prospect.
He then saw the feathered one walk over and start talking to a beast tamer, who was with a wolf companion.
A little while after observing a few others, he noticed a quite flamboyant man walk up to the desk. His pose, and mannerisms attracted Eve’s attention, and she piped up immediately.
“OOooh! Look at that one! If he’s on this quest, he could probably charm the monsters to death!” She said excitedly.
When the man turned, and started looking in Vance and Eve’s direction, she started waving to him, stretching her little arm into the air as high as it would go.
The man spoke, as he approached.
"Pleasure to meet you, Sir! Are you perchance partaking in this quest as well? You seem rather strong! I also couldn't help notice the glow around you... What is that? if you don't mind me asking, of course! It's a rather beautiful light... magic perhaps?"
Vance was taken aback by his forwardness in approaching him, but he didn’t let it show.
“I am here for the quest to slay the monsters which have become a nuisance to this town, and the surrounding areas. My name is Van..” he started, but then was interrupted by Eve, who had started quickly talking like an excited fangirl to the man.
“Hi! I’m Eve!” “What’s your name?” “Did you sign up for the quest too?” “Wow, a bow!” “Are you good with it?” “How many monsters have you killed?” “You’re cute!” “I love those shoes!”
Eve could feel Vance’s eyes burning into her and she stopped talking, fluttering back to Vance’s shoulder, as if she were in ‘time out’ for the duration of their conversation.
Vance sighed. “Sorry for the interruption. My name is Vance Meridian. I am a Templar from Masa. I am skilled in the ways of white magic, both to heal, and harm.” He said. “And you are?” he asked, extending his hand.
