The youthful guild master read over the job flyer Alina handed her. She took a few minutes longer than needed, making a show of considering the job and what it entailed, before she spoke. "[color=skyblue]Yourself and Menzai, hmm?[/color]" The question came a bit deadpan, almost as if she might doubt it.

Ultimately, a smile slid onto her face and she shrugged. Torys turned her attention to Alina. "[color=skyblue]Very well. You'll have to secure your own way to and from Petunia Town. Not a terribly long round trip on foot if you want to walk, but from what I was told, the order you're going to pick up is more than what the two of you can carry. You'll need some way to transport it. All the other information is on the flyer.[/color]"

She handed the paper back to Alina. "[color=skyblue]If there's anything you two need to know about the plants specifically someone at Sapphire Farms will tell you.[/color]" With that, she left the young woman to her own devices and headed off behind the bar to inventory the liquor stock.

Ria watched Felix walk away for a beat. It was only when he'd passed Kaden that she realized they'd had an audience. Her gaze remained on the S-Class mage as he stood and left. Even a beat after, she stood listening to the wind rustle the leaves in the forest nearby brush along the grass of the field. Even with trying to soften the blow of defeat, Felix seemed to take the loss hard. Perhaps it was because she was reacting more than attacking, remaining on the defense and countering over giving him a proper fight like he'd requested. Or perhaps because she knew he viewed her as a stepping-stone in to A Class. Whatever the case may be she planned to figure it out and hopefully work with him more to improving. After all, she had a few more years of training under her belt than he had.

The pair of magic beasts investigating her drew her from her thoughts. A soft smile spread onto her face as she crouched. The best way to prove she wasn't a threat was to get on their level. If they'd been hostile, they wouldn't be sniffing and investigating her like they were. Plus, they were with the guy and she was pretty sure she had seen them around before. She offered out a hand for them to smell. "[color=aqua]And who are you two?[/color]"

She looked up when the swordsman called his two compatriots. "[color=aqua]It's quite alright. You're another of our new members, correct?[/color]" She stood and pointed at her guild mark visible due to the scoop neck of her blouse. "[color=aqua]I believe I've seen you three around the guild on occasions I've been in the hall.[/color]"

"[color=aqua]Would you want to walk back to town with me? I'm always up for company. Plus, it would give your companions tine to investigate me. And, perhaps, help the three of your become more familiar with the area. How well do you know Crocus?[/color]" As she spoke, she approached Damian with every intention of continuing on her own should he turn her down.
