As Hekate was wondering down the streets of Londinium, she happened to come across “The Blossom Needle” and decided to poke her head inside. “Hello, anyone in here?” No response aside from the echoes of constant needle work in the background. Hekate decides to look around since there hasn’t been a response, noticing very well tailored cloth armor hanged up around the room as well as, what she believed to be lingerie. As Hekate was observing the handiwork of a tailor, “Excuse me, are looking to buy?”.

Startled by an unvarnished tone, Hekate turned towards the voice while quipping an excuse. “Sorry, I was admiring the work you have here”. Facing the person suddenly entering from presumably the back room that was behind the counter, Alex noticed the distinct kimono the shopkeep was wearing also contained a nametag close to the patterned obi, [Sakura, proprietor]. “I assume this is your shop”. Sakura gazed towards the young lady who was once absorbed in observing the well tailored sets of cloth armor that clearly she couldn’t afford. “Yes, this is my shop, are you looking to buy that armor?” Looking back at the armor that she was peering at prior to being interrupted, Hekate dropped her gaze from the nametag, “No, I don’t think I will be buying anything this time” and began to lug slowly towards door, feeling slightly defeated from the prices before.

“If it is an issue with money, I ask you assist with an errand”. Upon hearing this, Hekate turned back around again, “Errand?” Sakura then heads back into the room she was in before, and returned with a few packages wrapped up, causing a thump on top the counter desk . “I just finished these orders, but I don’t have the time to deliver them myself”. Still confused, Hekate looked at the packages and saw the name of several other NPCs. “If you deliver these, and make sure to receive the payments, I’ll give you a small reward for the trouble”. Hearing the word reward, Hekate picked up the packages and scanned the names along with the addresses on them, “I’ll make sure these get to the right people”, and started to jog towards the door happily.

Making his way through the crafting district of the Londinium, clinks in the armour jingled after every methodical step without a break, the wolfhair's posture was solid as stone and face held not much expression. Hugh's body was working like clockwork, stiff as a robot and only thought about one direction: The Blossom Needle, a tailor's shop whose owner allowed adventurers access although seeming unsympathetic. A common trait that Hugh can own, if he only had acquaintances.

The journey, if you'd call it, wasn't long due to already scouting the open vendors before and before he'd know it, Hugh reached the door to his destination in almost record time. His body snapping forward to grab the doorknob almost impatiently, and decisively pushing the door until he suddenly hit something with it. Did he hit something? Hope it wasn't the owner! Both afraid of what he hit and the sound of falling that came after it forced Low to push the door until his person was able to get through, but he started to fit the front half of it inside first. As his chest, right arm and whole head popped in comically, the farmer gave one of his first ever concerned looks the week. "What did I hit?", his words sudden and held light fear for the other's safety, "What do you think you hit?" The words of Sakura in the distance made Hugh slightly reassured but his gaze did come into contact with a possible fellow adventurer.

Sighing in the distance, Sakura looked towards Low with a displeased look until the wolf's body made his move towards the downed courier. "Ur..ur, sorry 'bout dat..." Like a teenager who found a crying child, the man's protective instinct kicked into gear after a couple of seconds and tried to pick the fair-haired adventurer by her shoulders. The tailor who saw it all just went back to work, with some periodic glances back to the couple. Hugh's looked at the adventurer's bruised forehead and regretted not picking a healing spell, though it was likely this kind of injury didn't deal any damage since no Royal Guards came into the shop to chop the wolf into fritters yet.

While getting back up with the assistance of someone after being hit in the face by the door, Hekate quickly reflected on running toward the closed door of the shop, thinking she should have been smarter. She quickly started fussing with her bangs to try and hide the brand new bruise on her forehead, a reminder of her own stupidity.

The next thought that ran through her mind while fixing her bangs was, why would someone suddenly open the door to a closed shop without knocking first, since common courtesy would have been to knock to see if there was someone inside. Realizing then that the packages she had to deliver were still on the ground, Hekate turned to pick them up.

Gathering the packages that had fallen with her, she turned to face the adventurer, she thinks, and asks in a fairly friendly tone “Can I know the name of the person who accidently hit me with the door?” as she fumbles to inspect the person. She added “You can call me Hekate, an enchanter” after giving up on inspecting the man in front of her. After a fairly quick visual inspection, Hekate determines that her fellow adventurer could be a bit stronger than herself and asks ”Since you’re here, do you mind giving me a hand delivering these packages for Sakura?"

Even though Hugh was the one at fault, he started to believe his luck with doors recently hasn't been all that great; the cause to this slight distress was started by a certain monk but nevertheless, all he had to do is keep in mind the health and safety precautions about a door. Like he's ever going to remember that right? Cutting back to the matter at hand, the sight of the woman in his hands didn't spark anything but tiredness after finding out she was perfectly fine.

Contemplating on the notion to drop her while fully pulling the lady up to her feet, the first thing she does before issuing thanks was to fix her misaligned hair, almost causing both Hugh and Sakura (from a distance) to blankly stare towards the creature while waiting several minutes. After it was done t'was safe to assume the woman, now Hekate, was always in her own pace whether or not Hugh followed. Casually accepting this, the Wolfhair nodded slightly in response to both her first question and her introduction while impulsively nodding to the last statement.

Basically agreeing to her question automatically on accident, Hugh turned to notice Sakura looking at him with a slight deadpan look and later shooting a small thumbs up after turning back to her work, adding, "Sure you can. If you deliver them to the right people anyway". Sealing his fate slightly, he could just ask to deny the quest but his sigh showed how little he cared towards the situation. "Might as well, to make up for hitting into you anyway. Lowblow", Thumbing his plate armour to show it was his name.

After making his anticlimactic introduction, he made his way to carry all the packages under one arm. The weight wasn't considerable by his standards but getting used to throwing bales of hey across your back to carry does stuff to your natural constitution, and the mind. "Get going, push the door, I'll follow". Hugh was set on tailing the foxtail for this one, so she shouldn't mind taking her time with strolling; could talk while they're at it too.

After opening the door for Lowblow, and pausing outside the Blossoming Needle, Hekate looked at the Persons of the Land that they needed to deliver to, the first on was for Reyla Okari, Fancy Vixen and the second one was to one Zuth Onyxheart, The Stout Iron. Upon looking at the names and locations again, she realizes that she does not actually know where they are. The shop she remembers the most clearly, as to where it is located, was The Stout Iron. With this in mind, "Lowblow, I think we should start by delivering this package to Zuth". with that, she started walking in the direction of The Stout Iron.

As the duo started wandering toward the location, Alex realizes she never thanked Low for his assistance in helping her up after being hit with the door. "Umm, Lowblow, do you mind if I call you Low?" After receiving his consent, with a slightly downcast expression, "Then Low, Thank you for helping me back up after I fell down, I know it was my fault for running toward a closed door...So, sorry for being an idiot, and Thank You". With that said, she started to cheer herself back up and decided to change the topic, as it was going to take a little time to wander over to where they needed to be to deliver the packages.

Visibly wracking her brain for a second, Alex settled on the topic of cloths, one that was probably not one of her favorites form their old world. "So... We don't know all the much about each other, and I feel the want to change that a little. I know that platemail is just your armor. Is there some type of regular cloths that you prefer to wear?... I'm a tailor you see, and want to try recreating some of the cloths from back in the real world". After a second or so of silence, she decided to add a little about herself. "I mean I like jeans and a plain tee shirt, so I was going to try and make some, but I think more input would be helpful...You don't have to if you don't want to, it's just a thought".

Almost walking into the foxtail again as he made the exit, Hugh sighed when he peered towards the quizzical expression she was making. He doubted she knew the way right from here but still decided to soldier on regardless, the choice in action did spark some trust towards the fox but the wolf wouldn't know why he does if you ask him right this moment. Regardless of knowing the outcome of this, Low grunts in response to her first question, he doesn't really mind the nickname because calling him Lowblow all the time could be a tongue-twister of sort.

Staring at the back of Hekate's head while attempting to gain a better grip to the packages in the meantime, his mouth curved a reflective sour expression to remembering how he didn't knock. In a sense, it was his fault too so he didn't want the girl to beat herself up with it, Hugh paced evenly to her and started to pat the fox's golden locks slowly whilst uttering "Don't kill yourself, it's fine, shit happens". A couple seconds more of patting until he started to walk normally again, playing follow the leader with a now happy animal.

The topic about clothing was brought up and in an instant made Low grumble a unpleasant noise. This time quickly trying to justify himself, "I lived on a farm, with two older sisters...Imagine going on shopping outings with one overly hyped chihuahua and a closet pervert...Urgh, I don't hate them but their choices for me never end well..." Coughing with the free hand to keep himself on track, Hugh continues after relaxing his shoulders. "Worked on it too, the farm. So sewing a straw hat and some overalls could be nice, otherwise I don't know what would fit a person like me, as long as it's not flashy..." Shrugging at the thought of fashion he wears, he wasn't much of a hipster back then so casual scarfs are a no-go and so is sneakers, he got used to wearing heavy and comfortable footwear and started to like basic dark colours.

The last opinion sparked Hugh's memory to an extent, "I know a couple of sewing stitch techniques, might help you later on" remembering when he'd watch Ellis hum as she sew, keep watch of how her hands flow fluidly was like watching some kind of dance, was enough to give him the courage to try some of it himself but this was before he had real access to the internet, asking Ellis was an inevitable after many failed attempts and teasing from Sinclair wasn't helping his mood towards it. He'd probably forgot much about it until now, so he'd might as well as teach someone who'd probably get further then himself. "Have experience in sewing?" Might as well ask since they were on the subject.

On Low's response, Alex thought he was similar to her in that respect, maybe simpler. However, the next statement to leave his mouth shocked her a little. The only way she could respond to being asked about her experience with sewing was: "Back there, it was something that I didn't have much experience with, but I do know little, from watching my mom when I was a kid, and some of the reading I did. Just never really acted on it since fashion was something I thought I didn't need". Clearly that's wrong now, but she kept that to herself. "If you don't mind helping me a little, I would appreciate it, in return I could try my best to make you something so you're not in that platemail all the time". 

As the pair reached the ally that Alex remembered needed to turn down, they turned, only to face a dead end. "Huh, that's not supposed to be there...Did i take a wrong turn?" Going back to the road they had just came from, Alex looked around, and sure enough, found her self a little lost. "Well...seems I got us a little, lost. Hehe, sorry. Do you know where we are by chance?" With the not very supportive response from Low, Alex started looking for a way to get un-lost. Only a moment went by before she spotted a Town Guard, and ran off to get directions to The Stout Iron.

While running the short distance to the guard, Alex, slightly more skillfully this time, operated her interface and examined the guard, "Excuse me sir, I took a wrong turn and got lost on my way to The Stout Iron can you give me directions?" The guard took a second to look at Hekate and the direction she had come from, and when he had the directions, "You need to go back to the main street behind you, turn right and it should be up a little that way". With the directions to her destination, Alex turned around and that's when she saw a person grab one of the packages that Low was holding, and run away.

The moment she saw that happen, Alex immediately starting running toward the thief. Ignoring the quizzical stare of Low, as it seems he didn't notice the package being taken, and yelled at him "One of the packages Sakura gave us was stolen, help me get it back!" and pointed toward the fleeing thief. When she got to a close enough distance, Alex stopped and started to cast Nightmare Sphere in an attempt to slow the thief and retrieve the stolen package, regardless of if the Royal Guard showed up to stop her or not. After the preparations where completed, Alex cast Nightmare Sphere about 2m directly in front of the path the thief was taking, to give herself and Low a decent amount of time to reach him. As soon as the spell was cast, Alex gave a sigh of relief since the Royal Guard didn't come and rip her to shreds, and started running toward the thief, crystal ball in hand if needed.

After hearing Hekate's long acceptance toward his services, Low chuckled lightly on the thought of finally wearing anything other then the shaggy clothing on his giant back. The straps on his armour rattled along with the old oaken staff he uses for magic casting, the weapon large enough to poke out from his shoulder was still tied on by some thread across his chest and looked hard to draw from, the weapon hung slightly loosely because of that fact but was positioned slightly different due to packages under his right side. 

Walking behind Hekate once more proved his slight suspicions of getting slightly lost correct, it made Hugh sigh on the off chance she stated the obvious but started to wait when the fox struck a discussion with a local city guard. "At least she's responsible in asking around, she get better at this too if she learns from her mistakes" The wolf smiled at the scene and made sure his ears picked up the response from mister guard, "Back round to main street, turn right and little ways onward...simple enough", Hugh replied to himself. At such a time, his ears caught wind of someone dropping down from the wall behind him, surprising Hugh. White noise ruptures his inner being and before realising it, one of the packages ended up in the thief's grubby hands, like taking candy from a baby.

The problem was what the enemy was, an adventurer. The skill that was used was probably 「 Feedback Resonance」, it was lucky that Hekate in turn used a slowing spell! His eyes traced where the thief was heading and the wolf shouted towards the guard in response, "Help us! I'm slowed!" the response was the city guard drawing his sword but his face still showed reluctance. Probably due to the Thief likely being one of those Bandits, although low leveled by how his gear fluttered, he was still a criminal that likely had killed many People of the Land and disregarded the rules freely. The thought of killing him for revenge was indeed sweet but what would happen to him if Baxton found out?

The city guard fell into deep thought and Hugh was yet to be freed, the seconds ticked towards the slowing debuff and the thief prepared to breathe into his harmonica again. "Hekate!" Low tried to shove into the thief to render him off balance and to hinder their ability to play anything again, especially if it was a buffing spell! "Subdue him!" Low shouted towards Hekate since she was unaffected by the music, the distance was too great before then and the Bandit(?) misjudged the distance it would seem. They would like have at least 5-6 seconds left before the Nightmare Sphere gone...

"Subdue him, how?" Alex immediately said in a low voice as Low yelled for her. Nightmare sphere only has a little bit of time left before it ends, but I aimed it so Low shouldn't have been affected by it, did I mess up and hit him, or did the thief use a skill to debuff Low? Drawing nearer to the thief, Alex commanded her Crystal ball to float behind her to free up a hand in preparation to grab the thief, or at least the package he stole when nightmare sphere's duration. With both the thief almost out of range of Nightmare Sphere, and the duration almost over, Alex stopped prepared to cast Pulse Bullet, aiming at the ground between herself and the edge of the Nightmare Sphere. After the .5 second casting time, the bullet flew marvelously and stuck the ground.

"If you don't drop the package, I wont miss and have the Royal Guard come to end this". As much as I really don't want to die, even if I know I can respawn. As Nightmare Sphere's duration ended, the Thief was released from the slowed environment. He looked between myself and Low behind him, and decided to run for it. Being closer to the thief, and not having enough time to cast another pulse bullet, Alex jumped to tackle him, as best as possible with her petite frame.

With the light tackle she could provide, the thief was knocked slightly off balance, but was able to keep running. However, he did drop the package, so Alex achieved her original intent. Picking the package back up, Alex looked to Low,"As much as I want to chase him, I think it would be a better idea to just get these packages delivered. What do you think?" After a second, she added "Sorry for getting you caught up in that, I misjudged the range of Nightmare Sphere". 

Before making all the way to the main road, Alex turned back to the guard that hadn't moved much since the little fight had broke out, "We need to deliver these packages for Sakura, can you catch that guy?"

[Lowblow]

At the very least she was able to get the items back, the situation caused Low to focus from the package to the thief in question. The wolf gave a sharp glare to the running robbed figure but refuted to give chase, that wasn't what his job was, "Hmm" Picking up the other package instead of under the same arm, he decided to carry one in each arm as of now to increase his ability to grip onto them if another such situation calls. While he this, Hekate was starting to talk with the guard again, the response was a doubtful one due to not much evidence supporting her claim.

Hugh decided to step in and walk towards the two, this time having a firm grasp on the package he held out towards the guard, "You've seen Miss Sakura's writing right? Look!" cocking his head lightly towards the package he rattled halfheartedly, the shaking didn't help but after a couple of seconds the guard broke a light cold sweat. Thinking about killing these two quest takers would've likely damaged his career but luck was on the mans side. Accepting the adventurer's words, the guard bid the two a sharp farewell as he chased towards the thief. Later a faint whistle could be heard but the run in with the adventurer thief came to a brief close, Hugh gave a hearty breathe in the end.

"Seems that was a close one, guess I owe you again huh...", Hugh's speech trailed off somewhat as he realised the staff he carried was misaligned after picking up the package, moving it with some shoulder shrugs sorted the small problem out in the end. "It's fine about the skills, I'm still getting used to my own too", As long as the topic of healing isn't brought up anyway, Hugh thought with a roll of his eyes present, "Let's get moving, I'll follow!".

"What do you mean You owe me again? I haven't done much special", I just did what I needed to do. Letting her thoughts run a little as the pair reached the main road again, Alex continued toward The Stout Iron. After a second or so of walking, the sign was in sight, though a ways down the street. All the way to the shop Alex kept quiet as she kept on the look out for other thieves. "Do you have any idea who, it was that tried to steal the package? I didn't think to inspect them since my only thought was getting them to drop the package". With how Low responded, Alex sighed.

As they reached The Stout Iron Low hung back as Alex knocked on the door. This was received with a hearty "Welcome!" from within. After that, Alex pushed the door open, entered, and held it open long enough for Low to enter. "Mr. Onyxheart, we have a package for you from Sakura". Zuth took a look at the package that Low placed on the counter, and after confirming it was indeed his, "The two of you helping Sakura deliver these must mean she's busy, ehh? She typically comes here herself to ensure her work is what I was expecting, even though it always is. Here, the payment for the leathers". Taking the little pouch of coins, Alex placed them in her inventory for safekeeping till they get back to Sakura.

"Can I ask one question before we go?" Before Alex could even continue her statement, "Reyla's shop is just up the main road a little bit. Not that much of a walk",and pointed to the right with his free hand. A little shocked at how Zuth had somehow read her mind, Alex's face had a the appearance of wanting to say, How?. "I saw the other package the young man is holding, that's your next stop for Sakura right?" Ahh, that's how he knew where we are heading next,  "Then we will be on our way, Thank you for pointing us in the right direction".

Leaving The Stout Iron and turning right again, "Well, do you want to talk about anything on the way to Reyla's shop?"

The Stout Iron's proprietor, Onyx, was quite the hard worker as he barely even stopped polishing the iron rivets sprawled about on the counter in two piles. Giving small glances once or twice towards Hekate when she entered. and even stopped to adjust his goggles when Hugh layed the dwarf's package on some free space. The dwarf was smiling when he swiftly brought a pouch out from under the counter, the light sounds of metal could indicate there is gold within this pouch, the money that makes the world go round. Hekate seemed pleasantly pleased when she was told the directions to the Fancy Vixen, Low remembered the shop being fairly close to the walls of Londinium due to the fox liking the rural taste. The wolf silently nodded when he was asked the question.

"Reyla's shop is far forward, talking would be needed..." Low tightened his grip on the package, the item was under his left arm and most of the wrapping was covered by his cheap plated armour. The thought of what kind of weapons he could create with the blacksmith subclass is immense, Hugh was going to ask but instead asked a more personal question in the mean time, "You don't look like a Enchanter, I would say swashbuckler without the extra weapon" Low quipped towards the fox, he pondered about how well Hekate's appearance matched her irl figure but gave up just as fast, he shouldn't start asking those types of questions.

The heavy steps of Hugh this time matched his partner's pace throughout their walk, the cleric could see the cobblestone pathway they trotted on was fairly old and shown signs of heavy wear, it paired with overgrowing moss across the sides of it. This lane was likely open for cart traffic or parades before the World Fraction, the sights of small stalls and their sunken faced owners could indicate that the apocalypse effected peoeple of the land aswell but some of them, the sunken faces looked like it was caused by malnutrition which gave a sickly pale sight. These shop keepers could be failed merchants, known thieves, old soldiers or just plain poor old sods, the atmosphere if someone took the time to read was dull, unspoken and the stall owners just decorated that feeling. The feeling didn't effect Low, but his frown stood downward somewhat.

Not much of a talker, ehh? "Why do you think I look like a Swashbuckler? Don't they normally use swords? I have my crystal ball." Glancing down to look at herself, with a puzzled expression, "Is it my clothes?" Turning around to face Low as he gave his response. Ah, i can kinda see that now, guess I should make myself a robe later on. Alex takes a closer look at Low, and decides to try and examine him again as they continue to walk. Successfully examining him this time, she notices one thing, the class listed is Cleric. Stopping for a second, Alex tilted her head and looked straight at Low. "You're a Cleric huh, that's cool. Do you mind letting me know your subclasses?" Well, should only be fair and let him know my other subclass first I guess. "I mean, you already know I am a tailor ... I am also a Pathfinder, believe it or not after getting lost, sorry about that too".

After Low's relatively brief response, the pair continued forward. Looking back towards Low, and walking backwards, "Those sounds like a fun subclasses, anything special you plan to do with them? Or any special meaning to them?" Sounds like Low's thinking ahead, I was thinking of trying to be helpful to whatever party I was in. Looking down a little, "In my case I was just trying to be useful and help people. Kinda lame reason I guess". Immediately after, Alex turned back around and walked continued to walk normally.

Hugh's gaze wondered towards the floating mass of crystal that was the floating ball when his partner continued, nodding in agreement when the mention of her attire are brought up. The cloth armour she wore didn't match normal robed magic casters, it looked lighter then most but then again, weight only partially contributes to your defence now in this reality. Hugh has yet to find any equipment that magically boosts a persons stats but knowing this world, magic will play a very large factor into how most adventurers do just about anything, from killing mobs to trading certain goods.

"I'm a Blacksmith and Farmer...odd Choices right? I used to be a farmer so I thought I've found me callin' ". Hugh's gaze long past the floating object and back towards the front road, their small journey of chatting made some decent ground but the cleric made sure to make some ground, slowly getting faster by the minute. He kept mind of his companion, tugging the package from under his arm while whistling lightly to behind him if Hekate failed to notice the wolf's actions.

"I plan on making a farm, or at least providing for others using the skill, I have experience back in the real world so I know what to do. It's just that this new body of mine is a green finger virgin...Sucks my once calloused hands are replaced with new moisturised ones" Hugh shrugged, tasting the lament of how much work he's done over the years has now equated to nothing, at least he still has the knowledge!

Feeling renewed by the thoughts of returning to what he loved, the train of thought dripped slightly when contemplating on how his sisters' well-being are. The tone of his face dipped lightly, Nah they'll be fine knowing them Hugh concluded, his unnoticed clenched fist relaxed somewhat from his conviction. Hugh was always free, that feeling always persisted with him throughout his life no matter what he did.

"I can see the shop now...look"

Seeing Low pick up a little speed, Alex thought it was best to keep up. Matching pace, just about as Low informed her of the shop just ahead, Alex saw the sign too. Guess we'll be there soon. "Doesn't look too far away. Guess we can drop the last package off now". After another minute, the pair made it to the front of their destination.

Approaching the door to the shop, Alex knocks a few times before opening. When she opens the door, there is a customer just leaving and one can hear Reyla "Come again" After seeing the customer off, Reyla turns her attention to the two who had just entered. "Welcome to the Fancy Vixen. Anything I can do for you two?" Looking closer, she noticed that Alex was a Fox Tail. Coming closer, "You, you're another Fox Tail, right? What's your name?" Alex sunk back a little upon suddenly be approached by Reyla. "Yes, I'm a Fox Tail, and my name is Hekate". Noticing Alex's discomfort, Reyla took a step back. "So, what do you guys want?"

Questioned, Alex turned to look at Low, the looked at Reyla again, "Right, we have a package for you from Sakura". Turning back to Low, seeing how Low is clutching the package, "Can you hand her the package?" With that taken care of, Reyla handed a small coin pouch to Low, "Make sure this gets to Sakura. And do come back any time if you want talk, or need new weapons".

Well, now we got everything delivered, guess we should head back to Sakura. Need to remember the way back... "Low, do you remember the way back? I kinda remember the way back, but don't want to get lost again... Ah, before I forget, want to add each other as friends?"

Rushing was in Hugh's interest seeing how just a while ago both Hekate and him were attacked by an Adventurer, the person's allegiance was extremely questionable since many of the same people had a tough time dealing with the 3* price cost of basic items and equipment, the shops who opened their doors gained a profit but the high prices killed many valuable customers that would likely need sure necessities. Even Barus couldn't help but feel this action was needed to stop most gamers in their attempt to get stronger easier. This action had some good points like how most adventurers are helping the city under the questionable gazes of the City Guard, but the downsides can severely limit Adventurer's growth in such hard times.

Deaths will come quicker, PKing are rampant outside the walls of Londinum and trade is likely grinding to a near halt. The question Hugh has is that the situation in Londinium is the same in the other starting areas of the Unfounded Kingdom? Every city and town has their own way of keeping out the onslaught of adventurers but no word has come by about them, Hugh couldn't get much information what so ever by the Guards and the shop-keeps will always keep their cards close to themselves, hiding behind those merchant facades. In short, Adventurers can easily become slaves of the POTL.

The morbid and downright vile thoughts came and passed after a quick breathe cycle, focusing on this quest is a priority and will help in the long run of tasks. Hugh's auto-piloting made him arrive into Reyla's shop, the Fancy Vixen yet again, not before barely dodging the shop owner's previous customer who seemingly rushed out. Reyla gave her alluring wave towards the wolf who nodded courteously back, the package under his tight grip was given to the rightful receiver finally and that alone made Low's grin present. The money was kept underneath the plating of his rotten armour, fixed around a leather strap that kept the chest piece and right shoulder together.

Not saying much other then "Hello again" and "Goodbye" to the fancy vixen herself, Hugh was advised by Hekate to guide the rest of the way back to their starting point. The goal was simple and because of that fact, Hugh patted her hair again before uttering the words, " Fine, Leave it to me. Let's make sure this gets back to boss lady".

And so he soldiered on, sending a friend request to his questing partner, the clanking sounds of his equipment hitting one another with every heavy step drowned the sounds of Hekate's vitual name being pulled into Hugh's friends list.

While Low moved to add Alex to his friends list, Alex did the same, populating her previosuly empty friends list. Hope I can meet more people and have this list grow some more soon. With Low leading the way, the two of them started to make their journey back to the Blossom Needle. 

Durring the walk back, Alex couldn't think of something to talk about, and to her, it didn't look like Low did either, but who knows what he was thinking at that time. Like that, in silence, they continued though the streets of London untill they reached Sakura's shop. Alex occasinaly greeted people as they passed, however many of the people of the land didn't respond. 

After finally reaching the shop, Alex knocked on the door before entering. The interior of the shop was the same as it was earlier that morning, however there was no sound of needle work coming from the backroom, and with a quick scan of the room, Sakura was nowhere to be seen either. "Sakura, Are you here?" After a second with no responce, Alex looked around again. "Sakura, it's Hekate and Lowblow, we just got back from delivering the packages to Zuth and Reyla". After a short pause, Sakura came into the main room. "Ahh, it's you too. Glad to see you made it back without any trouble. Do you have the payment from Zuth and Reyla?" When Sakura asked that, Alex pulled the payment from Zuth out and handed it to Sakura. When Sakura looked puzzled for a moment only seeing one bag Alex attempted to help Sakura's confussion "That's Zuth's payment, Low has Reyla's payment" and pointed to Low.

While Low just left his own steps to speak his opinion, his fairly silent nature started to clearly create an awkward situation for his partner. Yes, the wolf didn't really care about what she thought of the situation but it was at least a notable point to memorise, Hekate gets squirmish when things get silent he thought as he looked between the gaps of his armour, the sight of a small piece of leather slightly pressing against the platemail gave him slight discomfort and contemplated whether to just hold the gold pouch then hide it on his person. The small incident from before ended the idea the instant it was brought up.

The landers across the way were just as hateful staring then usual, adventurers around this place of Londinium was likely rare and malicious (but true) rumours always didn't attract the feeling of love in any regard. A sigh leaked out but nothing more was said or done, he felt much worse stares just after the riots were ceased forcefully by both Royal Guard and City Guard. Hugh wonders if those trouble-making adventurers are still in jail or escaped by now? Just a passing thought.

Before entering the shop, Hekate ran ahead after seeing the Blossom Needle's sign. Seems the fox remembered the shop's design at the very least, he thought before stepping into the recently aired out place. The sight of heavy lifting in addition to moved bundles of clothing littered the area and was made apparent by the light after-shades of where previous boxes stood tall. Hekate greeted and when she pointed towards the wondering eyed wolf, he pulled out the pouch in question. untying the blasted thing was a chore that took a minute or two without un-hooking the shoulder pad, but was completed with a funny "accomplished" facial expression that caused Sakura's eyebrow to twitch slightly. Rapidly.

"We came with some trouble...but you'll likely know about it when Baxton does his rounds around here" The look of concern from Sakura came quickly by the mention of trouble, and slowly crept more by the second sentence. "But, we got everything in order. Please check everything and I'll be off right after that" Low pointed towards the bags that were now onto the counter, he made sure to wait before that look of worry from the shopkeep slowly faded away... Though still tinges remained in the atmosphere around her, Sakura lightly nodded towards both of the adventurers. "Thank you for helping me, having to multitask alot of things are going to be the end of me for sure. I'll hope you come again and help me out when you get the chance, okay?".

Low nodded in anticipation towards the next quest he'll take for her, the completion was met with rewards in the shape of a pouch much the same like the one he carried back. But the difference was that it was lighter and the sounds of coin was fainter then before, it is understandable to have such an amount for a simple courier job. Hugh played with the pouch before placing it inside a small slot in-between his leg plating, slightly curious to see what's inside for later. Low said his goodbyes and began to walk for the door, of hand waving while exiting the shop and stretch, to decide what he'll do for later on. Probably check up on what Reyla would like sorting out before anything.
