[indent][indent][indent][color=gray][sub][right][color=92278f][b]Location:[/b][/color] The Wayfarer’s Retreat -- The City of Thorinn, Aetheria[/right][/sub][/color]
[hr]Seele started just a bit when a rather loud, authoritative voice rose over the general clamor of the hall. The whole Retreat fell silent in a matter of moments, and all eyes went to a man that some clearly recognized, and others—like herself—had to take cues from the rest to identify.

[color=92278f]Ah,[/color] she thought. [color=92278f]That must be Aaginim. He seems charming.[/color]

Seele stood from the table and listened intently as their raid leader explained the guidelines for their event. Some of the information seemed a bit…obvious, to her, but the fact that he had to emphasize that no one should be stealing loot was inarguably concerning. She was aware that some of her potential teammates had reputations for bad behavior, but [i]surely[/i] they’d all be willing to behave themselves for something like this. Aaginim was right, after all, if there weren’t going to be any quest items dropping inside, then there was no reason to claw over loot they could all just farm from later runs. 

After the rules were established, Aaginim moved on to the part she and undoubtedly most of the wayfarers had been waiting for: grouping. Two of them, A and B. Seele smiled and listened and when he was done listing off the names, she blinked, and looked around.

Oh, right. She didn’t know any of these people. The larger of the two endearingly jovial women had called the other one "Leafy," but that was the extent of her knowledge.                                        

A few moments passed and as the people she assumed to be group A started gravitating towards Aaginim, she waited for someone to announce themselves as group B. [color=#2E2C2C]…don’t…[/color]

Nothing yet. Seele clicked her tongue. Oh well, fair enough. She’d been waiting on introductions until the grouping had been done, so she supposed now was as good a time as any to start being proactive. 

Keeping her smile warm and welcoming, she raised a hand up into the air and gave a little wave around the room. 
[color=#2E2C2C]…go…[/color]
[color=92278f]“Benkei?”[/color] she called out to the others. [color=92278f]“Is Benkei here? Group B support, looking for my fearless leader!”[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]
