As Thomas and Fredrick sat at the table discussing the quest they'd be doing the next morning they agreed that they'd get the reward of each one they killed. So if they killed three they'd get the six coppers once they were brought it back to the capital. Thomas looked at Fredrick and asked, "Why hand the quest out here and turn it into the capital." Fredrick looked at him as he said "Theirs a system that needs to be followed and as of now that's the easiest way for this city to operate." Thomas laid his head down on the table as he said "Okay I understand it somewhat." Fredrick stood up and started to walk towards the stairs as he said "Good we'll start tomorrow and don't worry about anyone taking the quest I've had it reserved." Thomas watched as he went up the stairs and said "Good night."
Jason walked over to Thomas as he said "After I'm done serving people for the night me and you can pick out the gear you'll be using and be sure to keep Lily safe." Thomas put his head back on the table as he yawned and said "Sure no problem." Jason looked around ya she said, "Today sure has been a busy day all the rooms have been rented out and I've been working on orders all day." Thomas looked around as he said, "Looks like the place is finally starting to empty." Jason looked around as he said, "Only for now eventually the Lady who runs the night shift will show up and deal with the occasional night customer." Thomas looked at Jason as he heard another customer yell out "Another ale over here." Jason looked at Thomas as he said "We'll talk after my shift is over." Thomas agreed and after he put his head back down on the table he ended up falling asleep.
As he woke up he found himself back in the field of flowers with the lady as he said "I find myself in this place too often." The lady chuckled as she "Maybe but at least you keep me company whenever your here." Thomas laid back as he said, "I still don't know if I'm physically here or mentally." The lady walked over to him as she said "That's an easy question, you can't be in two places at once so this place is your subconscious." Thomas sat up as he said, "So this place isn't real?" The lady looked at the sky as she said "I never said that it's not real I said that it was your subconscious." Thomas laid back and looked at the sky as he said "You're just leaving me with more questions." The lady laughed as she said, "Maybe but you'll be back soon and you will understand eventually." As she said this Thomas woke up with Jason's hand on his back as he said "Wake up it's time to pick out your gear."
Thomas looked up as he saw a lady staring at him. Thomas looked at her as he asked "Who's she?" Jason said, "She's Cali the lady who runs the night shift." Thomas looked at her as he stuck his hand out and said "Nice to meet you." She shook his hand as she said "Nice to meet you too." She looked nervous as she said, "I've never met a Demi-human before." Thomas looked at her as he said "I don't represent the general population but I guarantee I'm more fun to be around than your typical Demi-human." Jason looked at Thomas as he asked "When are you going to go pick out your gear?" Thomas looked at him as he said "Don't worry about it, I'm not gonna wear any armor so I'll probably just use a weapon." Jason looked at him as he said "You'll still have to find armor for Lily and a weapon for yourself." Thomas stood up as he said, "Alright guess I'll do that then." Thomas went into the room and down the stairs wondering what type of armor would fit Lily.
Once down the stairs he thought about it and decided that Lily would need something light. He looked around and seen a small leather tunic as he held it up and said "Adventurers do come in all shapes and sizes." He looked at the pile of weapons as he said "Can she even lift any of this stuff?" Thomas looked at the pile and seen a dagger sticking out of the pile as he said "This will do." Thomas stared at the pile for a while and then said "I'm gonna want a weapon that works well with my mobility." Thomas looked a while and noticed that there was a set of blades lying near the bottom of the pile as he said "These will do nicely." Thomas looked at the handles of the blades as he said "The grip works great." Thomas grabbed the weapons and stood up as he started to swing them and said "My movements don't seem too affected." Thomas grabbed the things he found as he headed up to Lily's and his room.
Once their he left the stuff near the foot of her bed as he smiled and said "Tomorrow we go on our first adventure." Thomas walked toward his bed as he laid down and went to sleep. As morning came Lily looked at Thomas's bed as she said "He's gone again." Lily began to crawl out of bed as she noticed there was something on her bed near the edge as she wondered what it was she reached for it. Once she grabbed it she saw that it was a small dagger and a leather tunic. After she grabbed it she put it on and ran down the stairs as she asked her father "Where's Thomas and Fredrick?" Jason pointed to a table sitting in the corner as Thomas and Fredrick sat there talking. Lily walked over as she looked at them and said "Sorry to keep you waiting." Thomas looked at her as he said "Don't worry about apologizing we gotta hurry up and get a move on." Lily looked at Thomas as she asked "Aren't you going to wear any armor?"
Thomas looked at her as he said "Nah it'll just hinder my movement and it'll bother my tail." Lily nodded as she said, "I see." Lily looked at his tail as she asked "So when are we gonna go?" Thomas looked at her as he said "My eyes are up here and we're just about to leave." Lily looked at him as she said "Sorry I didn't know it bothered you." Thomas didn't respond to her as Fredrick stood up and said "If we wanna be back by sundown we better get a move on." Thomas looked at Fredrick as he asked "Do any of us even know where to go?" Fredrick looked at Thomas as he said "I asked the capital for information on where to find the boar." Fredrick started to walk towards the door as he said "I'll lead the way." Thomas stood up as Lily and Thomas both began to follow Fredrick. Once outside of the inn Fredrick turned to look at Thomas and Lily as they walked as he asked "Is everyone ready for their first adventure."
Thomas yawned as he said, "I'm as ready as I'll ever be." Lily looked at Fredrick as she said "I'm super excited." Thomas looked at Lily as he grabbed the knife from her hand and said "This is supposed to be hidden away in your armor." Lily looked at him as she grabbed the knife back and said "Like this?" As Thomas looked at her he saw that there was a makeshift pocket for daggers on the tunic as he said "Ya sure that'll work fine." Fredrick looked at Lily as he said "Don't worry about using the dagger too much if you'd rather focus on using magic." Lily nodded as she asked, "So I should use this in close combat and my magic for ranged?" Fredrick nodded as he said, "We're going after something easy and we agreed on whoever kills the boar can claim the two copper it's worth." Lily nodded as she said, "So the more we kill the more money we get!"
Thomas nodded as he said, "Only if we bring back the bodies of the boar." As Fredrick, Lily, and Thomas stepped outside the city walls Fredrick pointed to the side of the City as he said "The boars are rather close to the city so we can make multiple trips to deliver the bodies." Thomas nodded as he said, "Then I suppose we better get down to business since we have the whole day ahead of us." Fredrick turned to look at Thomas as he said "Indeed we do." Lily pulled her dagger out and put it into the air as she yelled "Full speed ahead." Thomas watched as she ran as he said "Looks like we better pick up the pace Fred." Fredrick turned to Thomas as he said "Agreed."
