Another beautiful day in Crocus. Birds chirping, people bustling about, beautiful woman sleeping in his bed. Kaden certainly had gotten used to this in the past few years living here as opposed to his dad's place in Oshibana. Though, the past few weeks had been something else. First it was hearing about some new upstart independent guild that apparently had been working from right in this very town taking down a dragon. He hadn't thought twice about the rumor. Instead of going to Steel Hydra to find himself a job like he would any other day, he went to check out this supposed 'traditional' guild. It was exactly how he expected, and a week later he'd decided to switch from just the same shit different beasts kinda work and left Steel Hydra to join the - slightly infamous from the chatter around Hydra at the time - guild Fenixtear.

Today was much like the days he'd been in Crocus since. He'd gotten back late from a recent quest, met a lovely lady at a pub, and was waking up after a fun evening with - Shino? Sheena? Sha-Whatever, didn't matter - he was up and showered and ready for another day. Blondie - served as as good a name as any - walked into the main room of his apartment while fixing her hair up in a messy bun. "[color=pink]We should do that again some time,[/color]" she muttered, zipping up the back of her dress. 

Kaden tilted his head to watch her as she bent over and slipped on her flats. "[color=Tomato]Yeah.[/color]" He fixed his gaze to where her face should be before she finished turning around to look at him. A smile spread quickly on his lips, adding a slight twinkle to his golden eyes. "[color=tomato]Last night was fun. Definitely should make it happen again some time. But, ya know, got a lot of business at the guild these days...[/color]"

The girl smirked and walked over to the coffee table in the middle of the living room. She collected her purse, pulling out a small scrap of paper and a pen before writing something on it. Walking back over to him, she tucked it in his front pocket while smiling coyly at him. "[color=pink]Call me next time you're free.[/color]" A wink, and she was out the door.

A quick shake of his head got the grin from flirty to cocky as he pulled the number out of his pocket. [color=tomato][i]Shanice. So close.[/i][/color] He pulled out his cell and typed in the number into his phone with a special note [s]booty[/s] under the contact. One last quick check in the mirror to make sure he was good, and Kaden was out the door.

Ten minutes later, partially running and dodging people on the street, and he shouldered open the doors to the guildhall having forgotten to slow down at the last few steps before just barreling in. He immediately corrected to a stop and grinned at the room. "[color=tomato]Man, you guys really do sleep in, huh? Looking like nothing exciting is going on...[/color]" He chuckled to himself and continued straight on through the hall to the quest board. If memory served, there was...[i][color=tomato]Shit[/color][/i] He looked around quickly before spotting the flier in Holly's hand. [i][color=tomato]Sonavabee. Okay,[/color][/i] his attention turned back to the board. [color=tomato][i]What else is there?[/i][/color]

Then his gaze landed on it. Well, not quite [i]it[/i] but at least a good enough supplement to not taking an S class mission. That would have been golden, but...He snatched the flier for escorting some dude around with an ANP to...an orphanage? Okay, that'd get him points with [i]someone[/i].

Kaden didn't even look at Asher before placing a hand on the other mage's shoulder. "[color=Tomato]Doesn't matter what other people are going on. You're coming with me.[/color]" He shoved the flier at the other man before turning around as his golden gaze searched for someone else to take along. "[color=tomato]Lavinia - get your shit together! You're coming to Abeneraaa Harbor with me and Asher.[/color]"
