[b]"Hello."[/b]

With everyone together again, they exchanged idle greetings. Some put in more effort than others. More specifically, Matteo put in more effort than everyone else. Out of the four of them, he was the only person who said more than one word. Hannah didn't even say anything, she was just sour. Or upset. Or maybe about to puke? Ash couldn't really tell. But with the four of them together once again, they could finally sortie and do what they were assigned to. Get coin, kill monsters, and everything of that sort.

But where would they start?

Ash had some idea of the town outside, but no solid destination. She could probably find a way back if they just aimlessly travelled, but then they might run into bear 2, the sequel to the bear: the one that almost got Ash. Well, not that it mattered as much. Ash was pretty sure she could outrun them all, especially in the thicket of the forest.

[b]"Would anyone know of a destination for newcomers like us?"[/b] She asked the rest of the group, [b]"Or should we just go out and see where that takes us?"[/b]

She didn't really want to go out and see where that took her. It was really risky. Especially with bears living in the forest. Worst comes to worst, they could peer pressure Matteo into asking someone a good spot for beginners.
