"Hello, new church member; my name is Ian, and you can call me a guide, a frontrunner, or an alchemist, whichever you prefer,"
The white-haired youth, having removed his helmet, nodded with a smile to the slightly wide-eyed mountain villager, who blinked and responded with a goofy grin, "My name is Pansha... successor to the Elder of the Avod Tribe. Since you know my grandfather, I won't say more."
Ian turned his head to look at the Elven Scholar and the Purple Maple Knight who had already been restrained, "Anfa, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
"The appearance of the Purple Maple is my fault; it is a disagreement within our Canaan Moore Elves."
Anfa paid Ian a gesture of gratitude, which Ian returned, then asked, "What do we do next? Kill her, or... do you take her back?"
