[center]Hera had just finished slashing her fourth marmot and was picking up the droppings when she noticed that the player from before had approached her. She straightened her posture and looked him right in the eyes as he spoke. [i]It may be a video game, but that doesn't mean good manners should be foregone[/i] she reminded herself. She did, however, look away for a moment to observe the man's beast, a small grif that more closely resembled a chicken at this point, but could become very powerful, no doubt. She reasoned that this player must be a beastmaster, an interesting choice of class. 

Hera was slightly taken aback when he asked her to team up with him, but she understood why he would want to do such a thing. Leveling up and completing quests goes much faster in groups, especially when people of different classes join up and combine their skills. She couldn't help but chuckle when he very seriously told her he was trying to form the best team in Ashlin, but she admired his ambition, and decided to tell him so.

"I admire your ambition, I too would like to be a part of a strong team. Yes, I will team up with you. I'm Evelyn, but I prefer to go by Hera, if you don't mind."

She stated, smiling slightly at the man. She noticed another marmot approach her and it reminded her of her purpose here.

"If we are to team up, you should know that I'm currently on a quest. If you kill five marmots and collect their hides, you can bring them to a man over at the Rat Tavern and he'll give you 50 gold and 300 experience."

She explained, taking a swipe at the last marmot. This time she managed to kill it in one swipe, and she watched as her experience bar maxed out. She felt a warm glow for a moment and then heard a bing. She had managed to level up to level 2. She smiled triumphantly, but knew that she wouldn't be able to gain much more experience by killing marmots.[/center]
