*100 silver... I think I have that much at home. Lyra smiled. Finally! For once in her life, an opportunity!* "Alright. Thank you. I mean it."

*Lyra was... Admittedly slightly confused as to Sirdan's lack of excitement in getting a whole 10 gold for a questm and calling 20 gold "Measly." Maybe she would learn that there was some bigger thing to mercenary work...*

"Wait- you'll mentor me?" *The Macen's eyes widened.* "Yes! Yes, of course! I would love to!" *Lyra was giddy with excitement.*

"You're welcome." *Sirdan extended his hand. 100 silver was just a small fee to access a profitable world.* 

*To Sirdan, 10 - 20 gold was a measly sum - at least for someone without a stable job. He hoped to change that in the next few days by getting a job as a trainer. Besides, Sirdan had a lot of doubts about whether two near-death experiences is worth 20 gold.* 

"I will, as long as you don't mind a grumpy, boring steppe elf that's seen more than his share of near death experiences." 

*He finished his sweet drink of Not Shirley Temple, and then set it asides.* 

"Quite refreshing, a little bit sweet. Should I take you to the guild?"
Stephen
*Lyra took Sirdan's hand and shook it eagerly.* 

*The Macen chuckled.* "No, I don't mind. Plus, an experienced teacher is good."

*Lyra looked on at Sirdan as he sipped his drink.*

"Yeah, it's good! Oh- yes, of course. I just have to stop at my place first to get the entry fee... Shouldn't take long."
Gilberto
*He shook her back quickly.* 

"That's good to know - a lot of people call me bossy. I think I understand their perspective." 

*He turned around to the bartender.* 

"In that case, I'll order a meal and wait for you here. Then we'll go to the guild together, sounds good?"
