[CENTER][h3]Astarte[/h3][/CENTER] The boy was surprised when his cigarrette was suddenly taken away from him. The one behind it was Cassie, a girl he had heard about before. He wasn't as low as her in the military, though, given that he was about just two ranks below his sister, and he was quite proud of being called Sub-Lieutenant. So much, that it went way over his head. And also, he didn't like being called cute. [color=fff200]"Cassie... May I ask what all this is about? Insubordination, perhaps? How dare you call someone in a higher rank than you 'freaking cute', huh!?"[/color] Well, he wouldn't mind being talked to with such disrespect weren't it for the fact that she called him cute. Not manly at all, not at all, and it pissed him so much that he wasn't as manlier as his sister, even though she looked so frail and he looked sturdy and way taller than the average joe, so how in the seven hells was he 'cute'?!. He soon recovered his composure and cleared his throat. [color=fff200]"Of course, I'll take part of the 'job', as my siters calls it, though it is more of a 'mission', actually. And a family visit, actually."[/color] He then grinned at Cassie's question. He knew some things about it, yes, though her sister was the one that knew all of the details because he couldn't be bothered by them. [color=fff200]"A monster, commonly known as 'Arachnoblaster', has appeared in the woods. Donat has asked us to eliminate it and bring its corpse back to study it. It seems it produces a strong kind of silk that can hardly be broken by even a sword, and it also is able to launch fire from its mouth. Quite an interesting catch, if you ask me."[/color] He says, laughing a bit. He was really looking forward to fighting it, after all, he barely got to fight any monsters lately. [h1][/h1] [h3]Hazael[/h3] Leaning against a wall, Hazael waited for anyone that actually came to her to talk about the job. The badly hidden secret message had probably scared everyone off. Her short, thin frame made her seem as any other regular civilian, maybe even someone that wasn't eating all that well, but the fact that she was also wearing designer made clothes made the thought of her being poor fly away. Maybe a metabolism problem? Anyhow, it was deifinitely offputting, however, the huge silver sword hanging from her back. A wonder how she could carry it around and not seem tired at all. She was about to resign and go back to her house when a bird approached her. She definitely recognized this magic, so she heard attentively. A message telling her someone would actually go to the job request. It made her happy and she nodded at the little illusory bird. Well, she might as well stay there for a bit more, before giving up all hope. Still, was the info she received from Nijiara accuarate? That Donat would stop being so passive... It really worried her, mostly by the fact that, how the hell did their mage of the court got a hold of such information?
