[i]"Sooooo, what do you think Professor Birek wants? I've been here plenty of times in the past but he's never even spoken to me before. I mean, I play with his grandson Joel all the time but the old man never talks to me..."[/i]

Sean looked up and smiled at the girl as she approached and sat down. "Hi!" He said with a smile. "My name is Sean an-," Sean was forced to break off the conversation for a moment as the Beldum floated up and looked her directly in the face as Quilava looked up at her for a moment before turning back to Sean leaving only the Beldum to stare at Veena. "Beldum." It said simply as it floated in front of her for a moment before floating above Sean's head. Sean sighed. "And these two are my Beldum and Quilava." He said as he looked up at Beldum. "You really need to learn to be a bit more polite." He said as the Beldum floated down and tried to undo a strap on the bag as Sean sighed again and took a look at another woman who had joined the group only to start reading a book.

Sean smiled meekly. "All I can say about that Beldum is that he's a handful."

[i]"How's it goin'? I'm Claude. I'm assuming you all got a message from Birek?"[/i] 

Sean smiled and introduced himself to Claude before looking at the two of them. "I'm not exactly sure what Birek wants. The only thing I know about him is that he's a relative newcomer to the Orre region and he hasn't been here that long. But if he's looking for help he must have come across something big."

[i]"Ahh, I'm Praxis."

"And I'm Carna. It's nice to meet you all."[/i]

Sean smiled at the two newcomers and waved cheerfully at them. "Nice to meet you two. I take it the two of you received letters as well?" He asked as his Quilava got up and stretched and small bursts of flame erupted from it's back before it decided to lay down again.

Sean looked behind him as he heard the sound of a door opening. A man with a clean shaven face walked out and looked over the group. "Welcome! Professor Birek told me his guests had arrived. Please follow me. The professor is waiting for you."
