Jane's heart almost stopped when a figure loomed over her. She beheld the person and recognized him as [u]Léon Reverdin[/u]. How couldn't she? He was a devout follower of Mayon, same as her... once. There was a number of Mayonites right here in the Adventurer's Guild but this Léon was one she knew. There was another, a girl of red hair. What was her name again? Maribel? Yeah, that was it.

It pained Jane that she could not talk to them about Mayon. What pained her more was that they could be privy to very dangerous details. It was well-known back in Thaln that Guard Captain Rosalor Heldt was an ardent believer of Mayon and her teachings. To be a Mayonite and also a criminal would be quite the news for the Church, and no doubt it would spread across the lands through all its branches. She cannot not be careless around [u]Léon[/u] and the other Mayonites.

As [u]Léon[/u] began setting down the fruits from his basket, Jane tightly grasped her papers in abject fear. He was also gripping that Mayon symbol on him. No doubt that it was a prayer, but for what? Jane suspected the worst. It was illogical, sure, but not impossible. Besides, he could very well explain the situation. But for her? It would be the end.

[quote=Léon Reverdin]"Good morning, Jane,"[/quote]

Jane said nothing in return, still gripping the quest papers. Her breathing steadied as she readied herself, her gaze at [u]Léon[/u] unbroken. She looked at him as if they were going to pounce on each other, not knowing that he probably did not share the sentiment.

[quote=Léon Reverdin]"Are you hungry?  Would you care for some food?"[/quote]

Silence reigned for several awkward moments but Jane eventually replied. "[color=mediumpurple]N-No. I've... already eaten.[/color]" Her voice was meek but loud enough for [u]Léon[/u] to hear. Her grip on the papers loosened. Maybe he did not know anything, completely ignorant to her past. "[color=mediumpurple]These are the uhh, more quests for the board. Would you-- like to take a look at them?[/color]" She gave the stack of papers a gentle pat.
