[center][h1][color=limegreen]Caderyn[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] [right][@Sanguine Rose] [@pkken] [@Raijinslayer][/right] [hr] The young man jolted upright from his bed in a panic, having awoken from some kind of bad dream. Though he wasn't wearing his eyepatch he still kept his left eye closed, which was also where he moved his left hand to comfort his new headache that started coming on. This was already not a good morning for Cade. [color=limegreen][i]What was that? A nightmare?[/i][/color] He wondered to himself as he slowly got out of bed, still holding his head as he got to his feet. [color=limegreen][i]A new vision? How did I forget so quickly?[/i][/color] His gaze ascended from the floor, scanning his room as if there would be hidden details in the real world about his dreams. The lodging was humble, largely undecorated. A basic room given to him by the Winter's Blade for a very good price. Of course he had managed to haggle the price down further but the deal was that he would have to pay the usual price after the first month. In the meantime he avoided personalizing the place on the chance he didn't end up staying. The plain wooden walls and plain wooden floors would do just fine anyways. A rustic look, if anything. But in the wood there were no answers for him prompting a sigh of defeat as Caderyn walked to his wardrobe. He was gonna need to dress warm today, warmer than usual. That ditzy girl Ria had taken a quest requiring him to go to the harbor. The coldest place in an already cold town. Perfect for catching a cold or pneumonia or hypothermia. The quest reward was a pretty decent size in compensation but the fact that another, Will if Cade remembered correctly, was also joining and would make it difficult to divide the reward in a favorable way. Even still a fair cut is nothing to scoff at. After donning some simple brown fabrics and a pelt overcoat, he finally reached for his eyepatch that was laying on the floor next to his bed. Several in this guild already knew he had some kind of magic with his eye, but he could remember his father's lessons quite clearly. Don't let anybody know that doesn't need to know. The leather patch was clean but the strap was worn from years of use. [color=limegreen][i]Perhaps I should get a new one soon before this thing breaks on me,[/i][/color] he thought, placing the patch over his closed left eye and looking towards the door. On his way down to the guild hall he began thinking about the day's plans. The quest was to scare off the big fish that's been screwing over the fisherman at the harbor, or something like that. Surely something that Ria could do by herself, being a famed Dragon Slayer and all that, but her decision to include Cade for a cut of the cash didn't displease him. Truth was she was a naive and seemingly innocent girl, cute in her own way, and for this reason he would never decline an opportunity to make money off her. The girl parts with her money so easily that Cade has wondered if she was doing it on purpose and was just waiting to blackmail him with it. A true con artist wouldn't seem like a con artist after all, but surely just catching him once would've done the trick so Ria must be none the wiser. At least usually, but this Will guy tagging along is a lot more wise to the world. If only a little. Some kind of rich kid that at least had an education, he won't make any mistakes with money so today isn't a day for Cade to try. So the plan was simple: meet with the guildmates, walk to the harbor, let Ria scare Bessie away, collect the reward, go have a nice lunch. Upon entering the main hall he saw that Ria was already waiting at the bar, talking with Serena. He got close enough just in time to hear Serena asking for Ria to go find the Master so he could conduct some interview. [color=limegreen]"Sorcerer's Weekly, huh,"[/color] Cade spoke up from just behind Ria. [color=limegreen]"Isn't that that one magazine that makes the top ten articles and stuff? Oh yeah, and I'm here."[/color] With his introduction he stepped forward to stand next to the purple-haired girl. [color=limegreen]"I'm ready to go drive that fish off or whatever, I was thinking that perhaps we could all split a lunch in an hour or however long this takes. That deli near the harbor ought to have some good food I heard."[/color] It was perhaps clear to Serena that Cade didn't hear what she had just warned Ria about with the dangers of Bessie, but even if he had heard it he likely would've ignored the advice. After all, he didn't plan on going in the water with the fish monster.
