[color=ec008c]"Quite frankly I don't know anything about you other than that event last night. You served well and I passed that onto your commanding officers back home. As for that mercenary group you looked into and the description matches that of a small band of mercs who specialize in guarding people. They're talented from what my informants tell me."[/color] Alexandra said sighing as she opened up a book and looked at a roster of soldiers until she got to Zack's page. [color=ec008c]"Your record is alright for the most part. And I can easily attach another man to your job back at the capital from my own brigade. I'll personally allow you the expense of 500 gold for the trip and allow you to go on the way. You may take your spear and shield and armor alongside one additional weapon. Is that fine with you? Personally even if these strangers are dangerous I don't think anyone's particularly stupid enough to do something after the last event and if that girl you mentioned is with them I supposed they helped you take down the people who were kidnapping others. Why would someone up to something try to lure one random guardsman out who has no high ranking anyways?"[/color] Alexandra said in a rhetorical manner as she closed the book and turned her purple eyes onto Zack. [color=ec008c]"Do not besmirch Lady Emmeryn on your journey. She has enough trouble as it is. Am I clear?" [/color] she said calmly as she looked at Zack with indifference.
