It was another fine day in town as the young man walked along the road in the outskirts. He was average in his height. Jade green eyes peeked out the hood of a cloak made from a boar’s Skin and head. Across is back he also carried a bow and quiver. At his side was a knife and a sword. As he walked to enter the town proper, he spied a young child, playing with their mother close by. ”Must be nice, to have a family that loves their children.” he thought, a sad smile forming on his face as he continued his walk. He couldn’t think on such thoughts for long. The Flame was looking for an excuse to run amok in his mind.

“That deer I sold better have been worth not cutting up myself.” Korrin muttered as he entered town proper, and checked how much money he had from selling his last hunt. He assumed he had enough money on hand for use of getting a hot meal or a nice brew, he stopped for a moment to look around at his surroundings. Things were busy and interesting in this small fishing town. Rumors of a new land, a New World has put people’s minds wondering about many outcomes, possibilities. New futures, new resources. Especially new things to hunt. That would be a sight to see surely.

But Korrin Arzan did not see an opportunity for someone like him to go. The urge was there surely, but he didn’t know what to do or how to get there. Maybe if he hunkered down for the evening in a tavern he’d keep an ear open. The window would knock surely. ”Perhaps finding something new to hunt or fight could quell the Flame crawling in my head.” He thought and pondered as much as his mind could allow, scratching his black hair which was dyed blue at the tips. His brain could only think so hard though, as his stomach emitted a noise to get his head back on track of his more immediate needs.

This slight growl it gave him surely did just that. He shook his head three times, his necklace of teeth jangled as he did so. He had a his goals for the day in mind. ”Hm. Eat first, think later.” Korrin mumbled, as he began to move his pace towards the tavern, his stomach growling even further at the possibility of being filled with delicious food, or even sweet mead.

Korrin eventually found the Tavern and, pulling his hood up to keep the upper part of his face hidden, walked in, taking a look around for a place to sit. His jade eyes stared at the patrons there currently as he walked to a corner near the bar. He eyed the tall woman there and turned his gaze back to the table. The Flame tickled the back of his head in response to that action. Like an itch wanting to be scratch, the flame gave the desire to challenge her to see how tough she was.

But Korrin would have none of it. He’d get his first full meal in awhile to feed his body, nothing more nothing less. No fighting anyone unless they had the intent to do him harm. Food was a better substitute for soothing his Flame, for awhile at least. So he sat waiting for the tavern keeper to turn his attention to him, all the while keeping an ear open for an opportunity to join this upcoming journey. It’d be an adventure of a lifetime, that was for certain.

He waited and observed said keeper come out from a door, giving the taller woman her order, then turning his attention to a boy, a little younger then he is. Two years younger, maybe more. He listened to the conversation. He did not like the way the boy hesitated when asked if he was okay and if his Captain didn’t treat him rough. Something about the boy’s answer kindled the Flame a little more, and brought tension to the muscles in his arms. There was no reason to be hesitant. ”No reason at all. If something’s wrong say it. Don’t bottle it up.” he thought angrily. ”Then again, He gave me no reason when he cast me out of home.” His thoughts nearly caused him to miss out on the mentions of the expedition the Boy’s Captain was in, with a Mapmaker wanting to go to the New World no less.

He’d worry about finding a way to join later. He needed food in his belly to and he needed it as soon as possible to soothe his growing anger. He tapped on his table, but it was more like a knock on the door.

”Steak and vegetable platter, with Mead?” he asked, as calm as possible. He then drummed his fingers, taking deep breaths, thinking of the forest, the Wild, and imagining the Vast Beauty that could be the New World’s Wilderness.

Korrin received his meal and set the appropriate amount of bills on the table for the payment of the food as he then proceeded to eat said food with gusto. He enjoyed every bite, and drop of food and drink. He did it while he could. For he knew he probably had to either hunt again to receive payment, or maybe someone hires him as a bodyguard or something. He drank from said mug, swirling the remaining contents afterward as he contemplated what else he should do today.

”Communicate with the tall woman? No, if the Flame got loose and antagonized her, I’m the poor fool flat on his back.” He pondered. ”Maybe go outside for some fresh air? Find a place to sleep under the stars, as clearly I only had enough for a meal or a room. What I have left might be for more arrows, maybe?” The young hunter sighed, his mind asking the usual question of how he even survived to this point in life. Shaking his head he downed the rest of his mead. He decided to explore the town. See if any rumors were about. Setting the empty mug down he gave a small bow of his head to the barkeep. Muttered a Quick “Thank you for the meal.” to said man, he walked out the door and began to walk away from the building.

However, he stopped walking as he pondered about what he was wanting to do if he found something like a bodyguard job. ”I guess I’ll do an arm wrestle, no, they’d get someone stronger.. errgh! Why is it so hard to prove myself to Him, the World, and Desmiel himself?! I just want a chance. One chance, that’s all.” He muttered, a little bit louder then he probably would have liked, but that could be blamed on the Mead.

As Cretas napped in the grass under the mid-afternoon sun, Lemnia lay against her wide awake and snuggled contentedly under her mom's arm... Until she heard the muttering from a young man walking down the road nearby. She poked her mother's cheek.

"Mmm... What is it, my love?"

"Momma. There's a weird man mumbling thingies over there." She said while pointing her finger.

"It's not polite to point, love." She muttered sleepily as she tilted her head back until she was looking at Korrin upside down.

She blinked for a moment, and then noticed the way he moved.

"He doesn't seem so weird to me." She remarked while rubbing her eyes.

"Excuse me weird man! Are you okay?" She called.

Meanwhile, Cretas looked at Lemnia in stunned silence.

Korrin stiffened at the call and turned to look for the source of the voice. Discovering it to be the young child he spotted when he came into town, he did his best to not let the Flame make him get mad over being asked a question. Considering her mother was literally right there waiting to tear him apart.

”Uhhhm. Yeah. I’m f-fine. Just a little wobbly. One drop too much mead. I shouldn’t drink, but I killed a big stag, got paid for the meat and hide, so I thought ‘Korrin, why not treat yourself with a decent meal with mead?’ Well I did.” Korrin explained, not sure if this small child would understand what on earth he was talking about. Especially since he now realized his tipsy self loosened his tongue. ”Then, Well.. I realized I only had enough money for either food or a room...and I think I wasted a majority of that money on the meal. So poor Korrin Arzan, that’s me, has to either go hunting again, or maybe be something else where my arms and strength will come in handy.” He raises his Arm and flexes it. Then he slumps to a tipsy sitting position on the ground.

”But, poor little old me can’t think straight on what he wants to do and is now talking to a concerned small one. Heh, sorry to bug your afternoon Ma’am. You’re kid’s just being nice.” He says this towards the Girl’s mother, to whom he’s wondering if she taught her daughter to not just randomly speak to strangers like that. Especially if they were drinking too much Mead for that afternoon.

Lemnia pushed her way to her feet and began trotting over towards him. And the instant her feet left the grass for the relatively flat and even dirt...

"MEEP!"

Face plant.

Cretas flinched with a slight grimace as she rolled slowly onto her stomach and made it to her feet, brushing the strands of grass off her clothing as she walked over to Lemnia, who was laid out with both arms straight out in front of her. The child lifted her now dirt-covered face with tears welling in her eyes as tiny whimpers escaped her lips.

"Oh, my love. What am I going to do with you?" Cretas asked with a sigh.

Picking Lemnia up, she brushed her off and checked her elbows and knees.

"You okay, love?"

Lemnia nodded with a sniffle, rubbing her nose and eyes as she looked up at Korrin and blushed from embarrassment.

"That doesn't happen a lot, mister." She muttered with one last sniffle.

Cretas smiled and shook her head with chuckle and looked at Korrin.

"Sorry about her calling you weird." She said while gently cupping Lemnia's cheeks with both hands. "I could swear I taught her better manners. But sometimes she forgets."

"I do not!" She pouted with a stamp of her foot.

Cretas chuckled again and kissed her nose, earning a tiny grunt of approval from Lemnia as she looked away and kicked a pebble. Cretas, meanwhile, looked at Korrin.

"So, you're looking for work of some kind?"

Korrin began to try and get up at a quick pace in reaction to seeing the child trip onto the road, but as his tipsy mind and body were not working together, he only wobbled to his feet before sitting back down again when he saw the young girl’s mother help her and dust her off the dirt and dust. As the mother apologized for what her daughter had called him, a chuckle escaped from Korrin’s mouth as well.

”Don’t worry about it too much. Of many things I’ve been called by other people, ‘weird’ is the nicest of all of them.” He explained. ”Of course, I was also as small as her once. I played, and laughed. Happier times they were.” His small smile faltered at the last sentence. Why did he let that slip? A curse on the mug of mead, for it obviously loosened his tongue to let such a sentence slipped. The Flame would take advantage of such things.

It was then the mother asked him if he was indeed looking for work. The sound of the word twitched his ears as he looked up towards her. “Yes, something like that. Allow me to introduce myself, properly.” he then took the moment to slowly get back onto his feet and bowed his head slightly. “I am Korrin Arzan. Hunter, and Fighter. Do you know of anyone who can use either of those services? A bodyguard or personal hunter, perhaps? Somebody who’s good with his fists, bow and blade and a thirst to show the world what he’s made of?” Korrin mentally wondered what she was going to tell him, but he was also partially excited at the prospect of his first steady job in about a year or two.

And who knows? Maybe this was a sign from Desmiel and this woman could point him towards a job that will definitely secure his future!

Cretas observed calmly as Korrin introduced himself and described his situation. And towards the end, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Well, Korrin Arzan. I'm Cretas Estallamos. And this bundle of adorable is my daughter, Lemnia Estallamos." She bowed, and gently forced Lemnia's head down into a bow as well.

"I think we could come to an arrangement, actually. I don't really need a body guard, per se. But having a hunter provide us with some extra meat for the journey to the new world would be most helpful. However, I don't have much money left on me. And... Well, circumstances won't see me earn anything any time soon. So-"

"Would you pwease be kind and hewp us?" Lemnia asked, clasping her hands in front of her chest and giving Korrin large, sad, puppy dog eyes.

Ros chuckled at at boy's comment of her being nosy. Maybe she was, who was to say. She simply shrug her shoulders as she focused on her food for a few moments before the man who's name was Gus had walked over to the boy she was talking to moments prior. Not paying them much mind as she had more important matters to attend to, as well as focus on. She had one mission to follow through with, and she had no idea if she was anywhere close to her target in question. She had traveled for months, traversing the land in search of the one in question. She didn't care for much as to who this man was per say, all she cared about was the bounty on his head, and it was more than enough to garner her interest. High profiled targets with an even higher bounty on their heads upon following through with the deal were almost impossible for her to pass up. Locate the target, monitor for hours before moving in, making her strike, and taking proof of the kill back with her as proof for her reward. And repeat. An endless cycle of cat and mouse, something that never exactly caused her to grow bored or tired, but it was something that kept her life entertaining enough. At least for now until something else called to her.

Her attention was taken back for when she heard Gus and the boy talk from across the tavern. Her well trained ears had a knack for picking up on things that may have gone unnoticed. Most of what she heard didn't interest her, until she heard the name Lohran. Lohran. So it was true, he was close, not even close, but he was here. In the small town. What were the chances of that? Ros mused as she sat in the chair, finishing up the remains of her her food as she turned her attention back to what was before her. Not wanting to gain any unwanted attention if others managed to pick up on her easedropping.

Turning her head back to look at the boy as Gus came around with the crate and boxes of the boys order, with a small cart to carry them along on. So he was one of his crewmen? Seemed to be a bit too young, but who was she to judge. Silently Ros watched as the boy took his things, bidding Gus fairwell and walked out the door. A long journey? With Lohran? Things couldn't be lining up more perfectly than she could have asked for.

"Excuse me, Gus?" she called.

The man turned, looking back at the woman in question, "Yes, ma'am. What can I do ye for?" he asked with a kurt smile.

Shuffling in her chair Ros looked at the man before speaking up once more, "I couldn't help but over hear you and the boy. Is it true that Captain Lohran is in town?" she questioned, raising a brow.

Gus rung his hands together for a moment as he grasped a towel in one hand, and a glass in another. "Uh well, yes. He's been in port for some time now. Him and his men plan on going on a journey for some unknown amount of time. Why ye ask?"

Ros stirred in her seat for a moment before looking up at the man again, folding one arm over the other, "I was just curious. I've been in search of him for a while now so, I was just curious. I've been needing to speak with him." Ros said as she gave him a small smile and nod of her head before she slowly stood up, tossing a few extra bills on the table. "Looks like I've had my fill. Thank you, Gus. See you again sometime, hm?" she mused as she gave him a small wink.

"Yes ma'am. I wish you the best of luck with your err-endeavour. Thank you once more." the old man mused as he swiped the bills from the counter, watching as the woman walked off and out the door. "Strange one, that woman is..." he chuckled to himself as he went back to work.

Ros stepped out of the tavern, her feet hitting the dirt as she took in a long, deep breath as she stretched. Pulling up the hood of her cowl, she tucked her hands behind her back and began to make her way towards the port, taking a stab in the dark as it'd be her best bet to assume where Lohran would be. As she made her way down the street, she came across a small group of people to the side of the street. A man she had never seen before, must have been early twenties or so, dressed in some odd choice of clothing, and a young girl with an older woman who she could only assume was the girl's mother. Ros gave the small group a small smile and nod of her head as she approached, not wanting to come across as a threat or danger. "Pardon me, folks." Ros looked down at the child as she grew closer, giving her a small wave of her hand as she did so.

Korrin was about to politely turn her down about the payment of his hunting services, but paused when Cretas said “New World”. The popular rumor he was hearing about and musing on. His brain wracked with possible replies to her and was about to say them. But then Lemnia had to pull off the puppy dog act that he swears all children know. His poor sensitive big heart came crashing down. Indeed, this child obviously knew how to use all the tricks in the book! Thus how could he argue against such a weapon this small one possessed?

”Aww, can those eyes get any bigger? I think we can come to some arrangement in terms of like, a payment plan or something. Or maybe perhaps...” he said as he began to think. Korrin thought for a long hard moment before mentally preparing himself for what he might ask. This was his big chance to join up on a journey of a lifetime, something that would prove himself finally to the World and Him, that he was now strong and powerful. After taking a breath he asked, “You think that maybe if I went with you to this New World I might find something new to hunt or fight? If so, I’ll do what you wish if you allow me to go, as payment for getting you some more meat for your journey of course.”

As he finished his part of the business negotiation, he noticed the tall woman from the tavern walking past them, and could almost swear she looked at him odd. It was the boar skin cloak wasn’t it? It wasn’t Korrin’s fault the beast charged into the arrow that took it down. Clearing his throat he looks towards Cretas again. “So what do you think Miss Cretas? Do you think there’s a possibility I could join you on this journey?” He asked, hoping against hope itself and silently praying to Desmiel for a miracle.

Lemnia's puppy dog face slowly morphed into a happy and energetic smile with eyes practically sparkling with joy.

"It's a new world. There's bound to be all sorts of mysterious creatures never before seen by human eyes for you to hunt. New land to claim! New experiences to enjoy!! The possibilities are practically endless!!!"

Her tone shifted from calm agreement to ecstatic excitement, mirroring her daughter's smile as both mother and child seemed to glow with energy and enthusiasm the more excited they became.

"Oh, I can just imagine it now! Landing on the new world! I have to be the first one off the boat. No arguments from anyone! Oh! And then I have to plant the flag of Estallamos on the shore! What should we name the landing point? Cretamos? Cretestas? Something catchy..."

Lemania's face a she glanced to her mother was one of quiet indignation and embarrassment as her mother continued to go off about all the things she needed to do and everything she thought might be accomplished on day one.

"Thank you fow agweeing!" She chirped, catching sight of the new lady on approach. She gave a smile and a wave back at the woman and trotted up to her. "Hiiiiii! Who awe you?"

Meanwhile Cretas was lost in her own little world of imagination and planning for days not yet come.

Ros gave the small group a nod, planning on continuing past them. But she caught the eye of the child, who quickly trotted over to Ros, the child asking who she was. Ros hadn’t intended to stay and talk much, but the presence of the child was enough to make her stay.

Kneeling down so Ros could be eye level with the young girl, she gave her a warm and kind smile, “Hello, young one. My name is Ros, I’m just passing through, maybe looking for some work. But what’s your name, young one?” she questioned, cocking her head to the side with the smile remaining on her face as she extended her hand to the small child.

Looking up, past the girl Ros noticed how the woman she assumed was the girl’s mother was, rather vacant? She seemed to be off in her own little world, clearly off in her thoughts. Well this is wonderful.., she thought to herself for a moment. Looking over her shoulder she saw the young man that was in the tavern earlier, the one with the boar skin. She gave him a small nod of her head, before looking back at the small child who so eagerly wanted her attention.

Lemnia smiled widely and giggled with an open mouth causing the end to rise in a squeak.

"I'm Lemnia! Hiiiii!" She chirped with a little hop in place.

"That's my mom." She said as she pointed to the mindlessly rambling Cretas. "Her name's Cretas. And she's a cartoogopher... cartehgraepher? Um... She's a map lady!" She squeaked.

She ran a full circle around Ros with both arms held out behind her, giggling the whole way.

"What does Ros do?"

Lemnia giggled when Ros touched her chin, tongue just barely sticking out from beneath her top row of teeth as she smiled. Her chin was was a ticklish spot. But she didn't dare say that out loud.

"I have a reeeeeeally important job!" She chirped with another hop. "My job is to make sure momma doesn't get too lost in her head when she's supposed to be mapping. She likes to start talking about things she might be able to see and do a lot. So I have to smack her butt and make her focus."

She giggled.

"Oh! I also have to make sure momma stays pretty by making flower crowns like this one." She said, touching the one her mother had expertly made for her. "Momma can't be pretty without my crowns. So I have to make sure she's the prettiest ever!"

With that she turned towards her mother and, after taking only a single step on the flat dirt road...

SPLAT!!

Hands out front, face planted in the dirt, and her crown flung off her head to the ground ahead of her with one knee bent and her foot up towards the sky.

"MmmmMMmmmmph." She groaned.

Korrin got overwhelmed by Cretas' ramblings and almost couldn't figure out whether or not if she was answering his question or not. It was very confusing to listen to. To make it more complicated Lemnia left to bother the tall tough lady! Leaving him all alone with her mom! What can he do!?

"Ms. Cretas? Does that mean yes or no to what i asked? I asked if it was alright to join you in your expedition?" He said hesitatingly. He could not tell if she was actually listening to him as he tried to soak in her ramblings and the tall woman, Now introduced as Ros, speaking to Lemnia. The latter of which ending up tripping again. He notes in the trip her flower crown fell from her head.

Deciding to take a break from the mother, Korrin picked up the flower crown and carefully cleared his throat. "It would seem you dropped this on your fall little one. Let me just...there." As he spoke he carefully set the crown back on her head.

Then the flame put a memory in his mind of his younger days with his own family. On His siblings, mother, Hi-. No. He couldn't think of them. He didnt want to lose his mind to the Flame over a memory. So instead, he kept a large grin on his face, making sure that grin was so big no one would see the hidden pain in his eyes. "There we are. All good."

Lemnia's eyes were brimming with tears as she sniffled and rubbed it her nose with the back of her sleeve.

"Thank you." She muttered, glancing between the two.

"I gotta get momma back now."

She pranced over to Cretas and, true to her earlier word, opened her right hand and smacked Cretas on the rump with a decently loud "SLAP!"

"EEP!" Cretas yelped with a hop in place.

"Oh, my love. I'm sorry. Did I get distracted again?" She asked, picking Lemnia up.

Lemnia nodded.

"Looks like you took another tumble, huh?"

Lemnia shook her head with an "MmMmm!", and Cretas chuckled softly before kissing her nose.

"Pardon." She called to Korrin and Ros. "Apologies for my rambling over there. I get excited sometimes." She chuckled. "Oh, hello there." She said to Ros. "My name's Cretas Estallamos. And this is my lovely little bumble bee, Lemnia."

"I said "hi" to her already. Her name's Ros." Lemnia said with a smile.

"Did you? Well, good job my love." Cretas looked back to their guests. "Korrin. I believe you asked about coming with us? Absolutely! We could use as many hands as possible for this journey!"

She turned to Ros.

"Might I interest you in joining as well? There's a new world out there beyond the horizon of the ocean. And we're going to find it, claim it, tame it, and make history! What do you say?" She asked with a pump of her fist, with Lemnia mimicking her in almost perfect sync along with a giggle.

Korrin raised both eyebrows at how Lemnia shook her mother out of her small tangent of being lost in her own world. Forcing a small chuckle down his throat for fear of embarrassing Cretas any further, Korrin listened as she said her answer to him about considering a spot for him on the expedition she’s organizing. Even though she didn’t outright say yes, the fact she allowed him to come in account of needing all the help she can find, caused his eyes to go wide, his grin almost reaching his ears.

”YAHOO! Thank you so much for this opportunity! I promise, I will not disappoint you Miss Cretas. I’m.. I’m as Happy as a Wolf Pup!” Korrin said, barely containing his own elation and happiness. He let out a laugh of relief, inhaling a huge gulp of fresh air before relaxing his grin. He had to contain it all for now, as he then turned to listen to both the banter of Mother and Daughter team, trying to convince Ros of potentially joining and coming along as well.

Korrin actually wondered if she’d join as well, if not for the sake of having more muscle on the team for any trouble that lay ahead, but to help ensure the safety of his, which would hopefully Turn into ‘their’, employer. ”The possibility of new exotic game meat is also there too.” he added, seeing if Ros was an avid hunter like he was. He didn’t have to appeal to her fighting capability, as he could tell when he first glanced at her, he’d stand no chance if he went one on one.

Cretas and Lemnia both chuckled.

"I admire your enthusiasm, Korrin. And you're right! There's going to be a lot of-"

Lemnia poked her mother's cheek, earning a soft "Oh," from her mother who smiled sheepishly and nuzzled Lemnia a bit before clearing her throat.

"Sorry. I was starting to get excited again. Shall we go talk more at the tavern? Old man Jahck has the best mead in town!"

Lemnia pinched Cretas' cheek while puffing her own in displeasure.

"Momma... You know what happens when you drink."

"Don't worry, love. I'm not going to partake in the drinks this time. I'll just have water."

"Promise?"

"Cross my heart and hope to die," she said, giving Lemnia another nuzzle.

Lemnia sighed softly and wrapped her arms around Cretas' shoulders.

"So, what do you say Korrin? Ready to head to the tavern?"

Ros gave the woman who was Lemnia's mother a small nod and smile as the woman apologized before quickly greeting her and the younger man, simply replaying with a small wave of her hand. A small chuckle creased her lips when Cretas introduced herself and reintroduced her daughter, without realizing that Ros had already made introductions with them, of sorts. "Pleasure to meet you, Cretas. Your daughter is certainly a character, that much is for certain." she said with a small smile, observing the interaction between the others as they discussed what she could only assume is what they were originally talking about before she interrupted them.

Feeling as though she was beginning to over stay her welcome, she began to inch her way out of the picture, only for Cretas to look back at her in time to suddenly stop in her tracks. "Oh uhm, actually. I was planning on talking to the captain and see if he had any work for me, as luck would have it." she said with a bit of an awkward smile as she rubbed the back of her neck. It might not exactly have been the truth or goal of what she had hoped to achieve, but it would help get her close to him, for her to be able to obtain her reward once she took care of business. Knowing full well she'd have to try to convince the others of her feign intent, "I may not be your typical explorer but, I can help with the heavy lifting as well as whatever odd jobs he may need. Seeing as I have no prior engagements, I could possibly consider joining the crew for this adventure. If he'll have me that is." she said with a coy smile.

Even if she didn't want to admit it, the opportunity to explore further, traverse the unexplored ocean waters, and discover what has yet to be traveresed, could lead to a hefty sum for her in return if she could bring anything of worth back with her. Besides, what harm could a little exploration do? Looking back at Korrin she gave the kid a small smile, "I'll take you up on that. First one to take down the largest prey...I'll uh, I'll come up with something for that bet." she gave him a small, playful wink. Looking back at Cretas as she mentioned the tavern, where she had just come from not even a few minutes prior. She could afford to go back and have a few drinks as she tried to warm up to the others, try to earn some favor in their eyes before properly talking to the captain...All was too tempting. "Drinks will be on me if you're up for it? And I'll take care of the payments for food as well, and whatever the little one may want?" Ros offered with a small wink at the small child that stood next to her mother.

"Ah... Unfortunately I made a promise not to drink today. But I'll have all the water good old Jahck can give me!"

She hoisted Lemnia up a bit, bounced a few times, and chuckled.

"And this little one will have milk, right love?"

Lemnia nodded firmly with a little grunt of approval.

"Then it's settled! To the tavern!"

Korrin chuckled at the antics of the Mother/daughter pair. ”Alright, I guess maybe I’ll have the mead then, but not too much. Wouldn’t want to get too drunk.” He said with a small laugh. Ros made a bet with him, but wasn’t sure about the wager. Ah well, if she wanted to compete about who the better hunter was, bring it on! When she winked at him, he puffed his cheeks in a small pout. ”Better be prepared for when I win then.” He mumbled. He then chuckled once more as Cretas reiterated that Lemnia wanted her to stay sober for the day.

That was fine by Korrin, more mead for him, if he wished at any rate. He was just happy that opportunity opened it’s doors for I’m to make his mark on the history of the world. As he cracked his knuckles and gave a big smirk. ”Yes Ma’am! Off to the Tavern!” He said, following her lead.

——

Korrin was in a happy mood that evening. He was back in the tavern, drinking down the last of his celebratory mug of mead. He laughed and celebrated what life had thrown at him today with his new friends. He told funny stories about some of his hunts, especially a kid friendly version about his hunt of the boar which now he wears as a cloak. ”The Boar after getting hit with one arrow runs like mad to me, I dodged and the poor fella knocked himself out on the rock face! Then I finished it off, and now I wear him on my head now! So that people can either be intimidated by his ferocious stare, or look at it and wonder, ‘How silly did that mighty beast have to be to be taken down by one hunter?’” He finished with a chuckle. ”Anyway, that’s also how I earned enough money to buy my sword.”

Lemnia's face was pale as she listened to the story of Korrin taking the boar down, and trembled in her mother's lap who, counter to her daughter, was stifling laughs behind her forearm.

"Th-th-th-th-the piggie went s-s-s-s-smash into a rock with its face?!" She stammered as she tried to lean back against her mother's belly.

"Well... Pfffft....... Should I call you Korrin the Piggie Slayer?" Cretas asked, still stifling laughter behind her forearm with tears welling in the corners of her eyes from the effort.

Ros chuckled as the mother and daughter confirmed that they'd be joining them for a few drinks, even if they were the none alcohol kind. "That sounds perfect. Can all drink till our heart's content!" she said with a small, jovial smile as the four made their way towards the tavern. The walk was short and they made it within minutes after they initially departed.

Ros gave the young man, Korrin, a small smile as he declaired that he better get ready for when he wins their small bet, "Let's leave that for fate to decide, I think." she said with a small chuckle as they entered the tavern. The group ordered their drinks, Ros placed a few bills on the counter, "Make sure to bring about two rounds each, got it?" the woman gave a small wink to the bartender before turning around and joining the others at a table. Taking their seats around the table.

The others were only a round in by the time that Korrin had finished wrapping up his story about taking down a large boar, and how he was able to trade in what he had to get his current sword. Which, Ros had to be honest, she was impressed. For how young he was, he proved to be a talented Hunter, even if some may have been exagerated. "So, the boar knocked itself unconcious?" she shouted with a laugh, wiping the tears from her eyes as she downed the current drink in her hand. Which, may or may not have been the second one since she returned to the tavern. "That reminds me of when I was out hunting about...three years back? I was tracking down a large buck, which I had wounded. Well, I was able to find it in a small clearing after passing through some brush, but to only be ambushed by a giant forest lion." she chuckled, taking another sip of her drink. "It got me good in the left shoulder, left a pretty nasty scar, but I was quicker with my draw of a bow and well, let's just say I had two large pelts to turn in that night." Ros mused.

"Looks like I'll have some good competition over in the new world, huh Korrin?"

Lemnia continued shaking in her mother's lap with a face pale as a ghostly white sheet, squeaky whimpers escaping her lips.

"H-h-h-ha wha?" She asked as she looked up at Ros. "You k-k-k-killed a flower kitty?"

Cretas, meanwhile, continued scoffing and stifling her laughter at the stories, as well as her daughter's reactions to them. Sometimes she was too cute even for her mom.

"Quite the feat." She managed to slip through the chuckles for Ros.

Lemnia continued trembling and whimpering on a stammer as she looked between the two hunters.

Korrin, noticing Lemnia’s reaction to his story slowly felt nervous at how she reacted to it. Maybe the wild boar wasn’t a great idea to tell and decided to try and mitigate the damage. ”It was more like a ‘Bonk’ then just ‘smash’. If I hadn’t dodged, well, I think someone else would have went smash instead.” He said, with a nervous look on his face as Ros asked her question. ”Pretty much, if I didn’t roll out of the way it would’ve killed me like it did several other hunters who tried to bring it down. I think either Desmiel was looking out for me that day or I was just very, very lucky.”

But then he realized what Cretas suggested he be dubbed, as an embarrassed blush spread across his face as he slowly sipped what little remained of his mead to hide said blush. ”Very funny. But I guess it’s a lot better then what my... what my Father called me. I won’t say what that is as there are children present.” as he said this, Korrin realized Lemnia was trembling as she looked between Ros and him after the former told her story of a Forest Lion attacking her, and thus he slowly put two and two together. ”Oh Lemnia I didn’t meant to make you upset with all the hunting stories. I’ve never really told stories before and this was my first time telling this one with a younger listener present.”

Even the Flame at the back of his mind seemed to cower a bit at the sight of a possibly scared child. Korrin had to figure out how to make her laugh and not focus on the stories of animal slaughter, and fast!
