The Rien working at the San-Li recruitment office only gave a confused look at Lugh as the man said nothing for a whole three minutes, then bowed and walked off. It was certainly one of the stranger encounters they’ve had in recent memory, but after a couple more seconds, they discarded that particular memory. No point in lingering upon the rather average-looking Immortal who’d come into the office, after all.

Gan’Bol, on the other hand, had a much more involved experience with the kiddo before him. Calace’s indignation had drawn more than just a couple gazes in her direction, but the man who she addressed remained unaffected by her braggadocio. For all her words, after all, Calace still had the look of a newbie adventurer to her; unarmed and unarmored, with only her shoes as her noteworthy equipment. So the man chuckled at her vitriol instead, and took another long sip from his gourd. Up close, the stench of alcohol was even stronger, enough that she became a bit woozy just by stepping up to the man. He stuck a finger in his fat ear, digging out some wax, and then looked back up at her.

[b]“Alright, sure, you’ve got spirit, little girlie, but you seem to be getting the wrong idea here,”[/b] Gan’Bol drawled. [b]“One, I don’t make it a habit of raising my hand against kiddos, so your ‘stature’ disqualifies you from ‘squaring up’ as well. Two, the Gaku-Rei aren’t exactly keen on paperwork. Everyone’s free to join, ya see, but [i]we’re[/i] also free to tell anyone to piss off too. Not like we’re so desperate that we’ll employ children and the dead, after all.”[/b]

The man took another sip, holding up his finger as he did so to hush whatever complaints may pop up.

[b]“But tantrums and such would ruin my day, so how ‘bout this?”[/b] His tone dropped into a conspiratorial whisper. [b]“All sorts of merchants will be heading off to the Mora-Sho clan. Plenty of targets, y’see. Pull off a raid, get some proof, and I’ll pretend those platform shoes you’re wearing there count as part of your actual height, girlie. These are easy marks, so I'll give you...three days to pull one off. Anymore, and you're too slow to be riding with us. That sound good, or do I have to find a daycare for ya after all?”[/b]
