Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Old Man Decided’s on A Quest With Little Girl

Orfan walks onto the cold muddy streets, at this time of year the town is empty for there are no festivals and the quests are too simple for high leveled adventurers. So, it's just kind of a ghost town besides for the little kids playing. He walks over groggily to Arabel who is looking at the quest board. 

"Oh, hey old man, I'm trying to decide on taking out the local goblin camp or kill some boars for food? I think wiping out the Goblin would be the best but i know the people need food SOOO…" he looks over "why did you yell at my window, at 3am in the GOD'S DAMN MORNING" she giggles "it was barely yelling, and it seems i only awoke you" he frowns "well if were looking at quests we should do the highest paying one for the least risk… so probably the Boars" 

She looks flabbergasted "but your Orfan the great, the greatest to of great should fight goblins" he looks her in the eyes "I'm old one strike from there clubs could kill me" she looks disappointed "fine humph" Orfan laughs a bit seeing her pout, "don't laugh it's not funny". he laughs more and she pouts harder.

They inspect the whitish brown paper that says on it: 

Need boars killed 

Food is needed and the Boars killed our livestock

Reward: 100 Pents 

She looks disappointed "b-but to rebuild the church we need 10,000 Pents, because the church is waterlogged, and the priests need new floors" he sighs "yes, yes I get it but the goblin camp has too much risk for us" she groans "b-b-but... ugh fine" he smiles enjoying her torment. She groans and stomps her feet "stop it old man".

He asks "we should pack before heading out, she nods "okay, I'll see you in a bit byeeeee" she waves. He sighs as they both part for the time being. He walks into the inn and waves at the keeper who is taking a nap. He opens the door to his room seeing the box he's been taking with him; he looks at it debating whether he should open it or not. He decided not to, but he grabs the beef jerky on the table. 

He meets back up with Arabel "hey I just realized Oldman i never caught your name, sorry about that, now what is it?" he smiles seeing her do this "I'm Orfan" she smiles "that's such…" she starts giggling "a girly name" he looks at her weirdly "no its not" she continues giggling. 

They take their final steps on the grounds of this town before they head out for the quest. She looks a little apprehensive he looks over "are you ok?" she responds "y-yeah it's just, combat and taking steps outside of town I just… never thought I'd do it"
