[i][color=ed1c24]One of the cynical types. Looks like someone did a cut and run.[/color][/i] Hmm. Perhaps Aura had assumed too much. This was a Cult of 'Morrigan' after all, and if the circle of blood outside wasn't hint enough, Aura should expect to meet more hardliners here. Aura maintained a respectful neutrality as Ser Welkin gave Aura her quest. Best not to get entangled.

[color=ed1c24]"I shall serve."[/color] Aura turned and left, back unto the streets. She decided to maintain the sort of religious discipline, at least around here. It would get tiresome after a while, so Aura hoped it wouldn't be the same deal for all Paladin quest givers. People told Aura that with her stature, she could certainly have a certain 'assertive presence', but Aura really wasn't the type. Aura focused on the practicalities, not chasing lofty distinctions or leadership.

Now...time to join up with the rest of the group. Aura looked around, the market bustling with the sounds of trade. [color=ed1c24][i]Not coffee though.[/i][/color] Aura thought with some residual bitterness. Some time had passed since she split off from the rest of the party - most likely, they had themselves set off for their respective quests or started to process one of the quests that the guild had taken on. Either way, Aura's quest was to be in a party and draw aggro - so her best chances were to help with the guild.

She opened up the messenger. It occured to Aura that she had never used it before; she was used to travelling alone and when she talked with others, it was face to face. Messages hardly came through, and if she did receive any, it was usually some party invitation that she turned down. Aura fiddled with the controls. It should intuitive enough, right? And since Willow was probably - no, most definitely - the new leader, she should message her.

Willow,
Ignore the previous message. I am not familiar with this.
I have found my subclass quest and am free for any kind of combat. 
Turns out the market doesn't stock coffee after all.
Are you nearby?

Aura frowned as she received her own message. Damn it. Let's try again. Aura sent the message off, realized that she sent a blank message this time, then annoyedly stamped the message in. She thought she could see the interface shaking, although it was most likely her imagination. Hopefully, this should go through.
