	Serena shook her head as she offered up the money to the hunter. Out of the corner of her eye, she could have sworn she saw someone staring at her, but there was no trace of such a thing when she turned her head again to get a better look. She supposed it could wait for a while, whatever it was. No sense in getting worked up before she even left the city.

	“Not unless you have any supplies you would like to stock up on before we leave,” Serena answered, “I’d like to not stay and wait for too long. The hunt waits for no man, does it not?” She had little way of knowing that this man was a hunter himself, but in this city, she doubted that anyone who could fight would be anything else. Even with all her experience, Serena had been fascinated by hunting culture since she first came to the country.

	“May I ask you your name?” Serena said after a pause. “I am Serena, and this is Veronica.” She gestured to her student, who nodded back to the hunter. Veronica quickly turned away, however, as she turned to face someone who was calling out to her. The knightess had never seen anyone like this before; the strange ceremonial garb and animal bones and strange staff especially intriguing her. She had never heard of anyone like this, even in her grandmother’s stories. Perhaps she was a foreigner? Veronica smiled as she spoke to her, realizing that she may have come across as somewhat intimidating.

	“Oh, I’m no guard,” Veronica said. “I’m with the military here. I’ll be off on a mission soon, but I’d be happy to help you with anything before I go, if that’s why you’re asking.” Veronica supposed she herself might just be pretty glad to be getting the attention from someone in need, but surely Serena wouldn’t mind if she took a bit of time out of their schedule to help one lady.
