Roxas
Standing in front of the Adventure Guild's job board stood an elf. She wasn't particularly known among the branches and cities, but enough could tell you she was a healer. She was known to take on jobs that involved beginners who needed someone to supervise or just extra help to get use to it. She also tended to take the collection jobs; as they were never really popular.
Today, she was standing in front of the board, flipping through the pamphlets that had been put sporadically on it. She looked up as she felt familiar cold metal against her arm. One of the local and recently turned friend of a muscle head leaning against her and looking over her shoulder.
"Yikes! You're thinking of going there? Everyone knows it's suicide.." He looked to her, blinking brown eyes in his tanned skin faced.
"Wait, you do know that.. right?"She looked at him for a moment before her eyebrow rose and she couldn't stop the near laughter smile.
"Yes, Damin. I know that. Thank you for the reminder." She looked back to the pamphlet, closing it and shrugging him off.
"But, I can only imagine the type of hard headed and power hungry fools that join. Someone has to heal all their wounds." She patted his armored chest with the back of her hand and walked to the counter where the job attendants are.
She talked with the woman there briefly, simply stating anyone requesting her would need to be told she wasn't available until she got back. When asked where, the woman only gave her a look of pity. Roxas didn't really mind. She'd been around for a while.. New sights might do her good. Plus.. where the expedition was going.. she wanted to learn more behind it; since it was.. by all true words, the homeland of Elves.
Setting out didn't take her long; gathering supplies for the trip just to get to the meeting point. She had chosen a place away from Alkaustar for a reason. It had grown repetitive and boring as she grew up. So she explored until she had found this place. Now she was heading back to her hometown. She mumbled to herself as she packed her back; and then pulled it on, looking around her room. She already had some of the kids in the town coming over and cleaning it periodically and taking care of her plants and the birds.
She left in the night, not really tired and seemed to walk to her destination. She liked walking; it let you enjoy the scenery more. Plus, in a carriage she wouldn't be able to stretch and enjoy herself.

Down the road from Vesemir's camp, the soft sound of a flute could be heard. Strangely enough, it wasn't coming from within the city, but like it would be traveling to go to Alkaustar. As the sound drew closer, it was easy to discern why. A white-blonde elven woman was playing on a wooden flute, a charm dangling from the end; though not what it was from this distance. Drawing closer revealed she traveled light. A single pack with a bedroll attached to the top and a white longbow attached to the side. A quiver sat at her hip, another charm dangling from a loop on the side.
She looked around as she played, and seemed to make way for the encampment. Her sounds stopped as she saw Vesemir standing by the road in his encampment. She moved over to the trio, barely looking them over before looking to Vesemir and offering a smile as she slid her flute into a strap on the side of her pack.
"I'm here for the expedition. I'm Roxas."
