More Adventure!|Haven, Ilyamen

Larissa strode down the halls of the guild a bit of pep in her step. She'd just come back form the job board and had an idea.

It had been some time since their trip out to see Demon's family, and Larissa had done her best not to crowd the man, but she couldn't help but feel saddened at the reality that one day he would want to retire and she'd be on her own.

She shook the unwanted thoughts from her head as she approached Demon's room. She'd been distant from him since they got back, trying not to crowd. She'd only hoped she'd done well.

She took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Normally she might have just strode in, but she decided against it and just knocked, axiously awaiting his answer.

[Kender Bard]

"Come in," he called out. Demon was lounging comfortably on his bed, a piece of parchment in his hand and brushing the end of a quill against the tip of his nose. When he saw who it was, he smiled and set both aside, sitting up. "Hello Larissa. How are you today?"

[Deleted]

Larissa gave a graceful shrug. "Hmm, have a small kink in my neck this morning." She said, instinctively putting her hand on the back of her neck and rubbing it. "Otherwise, I'm doing well. Yourself?" She asked taking a step inside the door and shutting it behind her. Habit really.

[Kender Bard]

"I'm all right," Demon replied with a stretch. "Get a hot bath later and it should help your neck." Idly he wondered what she wanted--to spar, perhaps, or to go out to the tavern or market?

[Deleted]

Larissa nodded. "Hmm Perhaps I'll see to that after a while." She mused. "Anyway, I was having a look at the job board, mostly because I'm bored and we don't get paid sitting around here, and there's a job out west in Naurorod. Investigation type job, some crazy is killing married men." She said, leaning back against the door and lazily crossing her arms across her chest.

"Sounded like fun if you're up for it. Otherwise I can go and look at others. So long as you don't go fantasizing about me being your wife." She attempted a joke with a half smirk

[Kender Bard]

Demon grunted with a slight roll of his eyes. "Hmm, well, we can. It's winter so it'll be the most tolerable the desert ever gets. It's that or stay here in the city playing whack-a-rat. If you want to head west, I'll go with you."

[Deleted]

Larissa chuckled at the roll of his eyes. "Oh come on, what would I do if I couldn't tease you." She smirked from her position holding up the wall.

"As fun as whack-a-rat, sounds, I"m not really found of them and this sounds like more fun, and I like seeing new places." She shrugged. "When are you ready to go?" She asked, when her gaze wondered to the paper that he had been writing on. She stared at it curiously, wondering what he had been writing.

[Kender Bard]

"Tomorrow, likely, if you don't mind starting a bit later in the day," Demon answered. He followed her gaze and twitched the parchment. "Shopping list. I'm going to take the inventory to Vali and see if I can't get the guild to chip in for some of the stuff. So is it just you and me or did you want to take anyone else?"

[Deleted]

Larissa blinked.
" I don't mind starting late." Then she thought a moment. " Hmm I wasn't thinking about taking anyone else. To be honest, for something like this, two is perfect. Don't want to be alone, ain't got back up or someone to report you dead, but too many will draw attention." She mused.

"What new stuff are we talking about? If it's metal related I can try and bat my eyes at my father and see if we can't get more than we bargain for." She shrugged.

[Kender Bard]

"Aye a lot of it is," Demon admitted. "Repairs to some of my armor, replacement for some of the fiddly bits. Though some of it is supplies and I'm positive the guild will help cover for that."

[Deleted]

Larissa nodded thoughtfully. " Well, you're armor you're going to need before we head out. So we should probably take care of that now. Depending on the repairs he might need all day for to do and some of tomorrow for it to cool." She said thinking out loud. She had spend some time in the shop with her Father, despite her mothers objections.

[Kender Bard]

"Well, no time like the present then," Demon agreed, getting up. "I don't suppose we'll be able to see your father without bumping into your mother, will we?"

[Deleted]

Larissa couldn't help but laugh. "If we got straight to the shop we should be fine. She hates that place, it's too dirt for her." She laughed at the thought of her Mother and Demon. "Perhaps we can stop for a drink on the way back?" She asked smiling.

[Kender Bard]

"No thanks," Demon grumbled. "Let's just go to your father's shop now." He folded the parchment carefully and tucked it into his breast pocket.
