[RPG] [Dwi][PeL]Nina - Taking off to adventure

[Talita CS]

Walking rapidly through the market that evening, Nina delivered her
packages way sooner than expected. She hadn't been tipped, what was
quite usual to happen, but Lucy could be glad at her performance and
maybe even grant her an extra spoon of beans. Turning back to the Inn
they now lived in, the young woman saw a great commotion, and
approached to see what it was all about.

A messenger in a fine horse had ridden into the market, and Nina could
not take her eyes away from the soft and bright chestnut fur. It
wasn't often that she'd see such well treated livestock. She stood
there until the announcement was over, staring at the man's mount,
barely hearing the words, and moved in haste afterwards. Lucy was
expecting her with an unusually curious look on her face.

- Hey, lass, what's all that confusion about? C'mon, talk!

The younger woman smiled. The only thing that would lift up the middle
aged innkeeper was contact with nobility. Still thinking of that extra
beans, Nina told the story in great detail, and just as she arrived to
the part in which the messenger turned his beautiful horse around and
left, she was interrupted by a spoon waving in front of her nose.

- Useless girl, did you hear what he said at all?!
- Yes, Lucy... - she frowned, and Lucy grew red.
- You're twenty but not free from me, young lass...
- Sorry, Mo'Lucy - a pause - Sorry, mom.
- Better. Now, hush! I'll talk to Ceorl and we'll see if you can grab
a few pieces of that gold the Lord of Santoo is offering! I'll make
sure your things are ready in the morning, you...
- What?! To kill monsters?!
- Just one or two would be enough for your father's new boots. I'm
certain you can manage it, you're fast and young. Now, go, you have a
last delivery to make, to Moira's son, he needs his food. Rush!

Running down the town's streets, Nina wondered about her mission. She
always enjoyed hunting with Ceorl, and hopefully this wouldn't be so
different. Also, she might get further missions if she played her part
well. Interesting.
