Claudia Blair, a recently commissioned junior officer of the City Guard, sized up the man that had just walked to her while she was about to go do some paperwork. Older, taller and more muscular, with ragged looks that matched his rough mannerisms. In other words, a typical adventurer that must have come from a background in some harsh job, if hardened, leather-like skin of his face was any indication. [i]"Interesting, Fufufu..."[/i] The blonde was silent as the man made his objective known, liking her lips slowly as her eyes seized him, like a wolf glaring at a cowered hare. "Well now, if it's not an adventurer? If you want to sign for the mission all you need to do is talk with the clerk on the other side of the entrance lobby and pay the administrative fee of ten silver." Claudia pointed to the unassuming clerk that stood by the other side of the lobby. "However, I wouldn't take on this task alone if I were you. We have reports of increase activity of beasts on some areas of the Old City. Better be prepare than become one more report for I to review, right? Fufufu!" Apparently, Claudia was the only one laughing at her own bleak humor, despite having actually provided some useful information, she just couldn't help but do that. Probably one of the reasons why people tended to stay clear from her. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go. I have some theft reports to handle that I can't delay, or else I'll never get to the murders. Fufufu." Claudia turned on her heels and began to strut back to her office. Before the blonde left the room for good, she turned back once more and said, "If you still need more help, ask Viola, she should be coming from a patrol at any moment now. Farewell." Either way, the two approaching forms of Kreiss and Elnarial would also be able to pick on the tail of that conversation, whether they wanted to do anything of it or not, was up to them.
