It was late in the day when the guild worker found Slania.
She was sitting in the outside area of a sort of restaurant/tavern place that served food and drinks, as well as clean enough rooms for weary travelers and adventurers in the Outer City part of Alliria. Things were on the expensive side there, but that was to be expected when the things served there was as good as they were.
The place had a sort of calm ambiance about it, with the smell of cooked meals and spices wafting through the windows, the waiters and waitresses' friendly yet distant demeanor, it was the perfect place for Slania to just... Take a break and relax.
And then a young woman rushed to her table and slammed both hands down on it. "Found you!"
All eyes on the outside of the tavern turned towards her, mostly curious or worried glances from the customer, and glares from the waiters. Under the weight of all those looks, the young woman shrank in on herself and slowly moved her hands off the table.
Too much for a break...
Slania sighed and standing up, giving the nearest waiter her best attempt at an apologetic look before placing a somewhat heavy pouch of coins on the table.
The guild worker then tapped Slania on the shoulder. "Umm, sorry about that, miss Slania, but the guild master asked for you. He said it's very... urgent."
Slania turned her attention to the woman infront of her. She was blonde, with dark freckles sprinkled over her nose and cheeks, but her most striking feature was her bright, emerald green eyes. Something about them made her a bit uncomfortable, but still, she gave the woman her usual faint smile and nodded. "Lead the way."
The walk to the Adventurer Guild was a short one, mostly to how fast the two women were walking through the quiet streets.
The building itself, while not as marvelous as the ones in the Inner City, was a beast on its own. Composed of stone like most buildings in Alliria, it had one story along the bottom floor, with large glass windows and stone pillars lining up the outer side and holding the protruding first floor gave the building a more sophisticated look than what was around it. Two guards armed with swords and spears stood around the front door, while others circled around the area.
Inside the building was a different case though.
It was chaotic and crowded, with many colourful people in a variety of armours and clothes, some carrying weapons, others not, and they were all just talking with each other or with the office workers and filling up the place with constant noise that, years ago would've drove Slania to just turn around and run out of the building.
But these was the old days, and now... Now she could handle it slightly better.
Her escort jumped in front of her and pointed towards the floor above. "The guild master would like to speak to you first. You can find him upstairs in the second room to the left, miss Slania." And with that, the young woman ran away and disappeared behind a group of people in heavy armour.
