Eirika looked about the tavern as she sat there waiting for the stew. She then saw someone else enter the tavern. A young woman had arrived, she wondered if the tavern was that popular to be so full today. A lot of the people seemed like travelers, perhaps this woman was a traveler too. She must be a native to this country though sense she did not wear as much winter clothing like those who are alien to the country. Eirika was very tempted to join her. Perhaps this person might know anything about the area. The seers told them to come here for a reason, perhaps the prediction has not happened yet or perhaps it might be close to happening.

   Besides she could always use a new friend, I mean it might be smart to make friends with her seeing as it would give them better standings in the area. Then suddenly she heard footsteps and Vivian one of the sisters came over to their table placing down bowls of the stew. She seemed to notice she had a extra bowl and sighed. She looked over and saw Alice and smiled. Vivian bowed to the two elves and then walked over to Alice's table.

 "Nice to see you Alice, having any luck with hunting still? People just can't get enough of the boar you brought to us.  To the point we are almost out of it." She said placing the bowl down. "Don't worry about paying dear, you do enough for us by hunting for us. If you can pick us up another boar that will be nice." She said.

       Veo looked to the old man, shaking his head slightly with annoyance. "Sack up stairs, I am going to go to the tavern and gather me a little posse. No bandit will steal from Veo and get away with it. They will pay with their blood." He said and he moved around the counter and grabbed his crossbow and then set it on the counter. He then moved to the far back of his shop and began to fit himself with his personal armor. The armor was a simple hardened leather set minus the helmet or the leggings and boots. The armor also had a little bit of the north designed into it. Fur about the collar. The padding underneath was also very warm. He took up his crossbow and swung over the quiver that held the ammunition to the weapon. He gave a nod to the old man and headed out of his shop. He gave a glance around. The town was going about its daily life like normal. That was good, he did not want to start a panic.  He then turned to face the tavern, he snorted and then stepped forwards.

   Once he went up the small steps and entered through the door way he took a look around and instantly his eyes found them resting on the lass Alice. She was a hunter, meaning she was a good tracker and knew what to look for. She would be his first choice. He then saw the two elves and smirked. It looks as if luck was on his side this time. Veo moved over and sat at Alice's table on the opposite side.

      "Hello miss Alice...." He said propping his crossbow on the table. He then turned his head to the two elves. "... Out of the people in here I think you three will be the best choices. I have a job proposition for the three of you. I have a personal matter to deal with that involve some unruly bandits. They hit a caravan carrying something precious to me. I want it back, I can't kill a whole bandit gang myself or else I would do this solo. I need a tracker....." He looked to Alice. "You being the towns hunter, you will be the best choice. I can pay you, all three of you." 

  Eirika was half way done with her stew when a new voice was heard. The voice of a satyr or Fawn. He was giving them a job to do. Apparently some bandits were causing some trouble. She looked to Elduin and smiled. "Lets help him out shall we? I mean it won't hurt much and besides we will get to at least help out the town." She said and Elduin sighed and turned his head to the side. 
"We are in,..." 

Veo nodded and smiled. Those bandits will most certainly regret crossing me. Especially if Alice joined them.
