Mai would listen to the mutant woman with a bit of annoyance in her eyes, though she wasn't one that talked much with people. Apparently Norah was someone that liked to say what she thought and the good things about herself. Mai just stood there and waited patiently until the Chimera stopped talking, pemitting her and Horace to say something. 

"Well, that seems useful at least." Mai would start to think a bit, letting Horace say what he had in mind.

"Well, for me that's good. But what if some of us gets injured? It would ruin the plan." She sighed and crossed her arms.

*The three of you would wait a bit, with the sun already in the sky. Perhaps they were late? They would then notice a nearby squirrel, strangely, with intelligence in its eyes. It would scamper over to them and would suddenly transform into a hooded, robed figure. His face couldn't be seen.*

"Ah, hello there. Sorry for the wait. I understand that you have all accepted the job?"

"In that case, I must apologize. The boss wasn't able to make it in person, due to safety precautions. I hope you understand his point of view."

"Anyway, the target. The target, as Khimeris may know, is an alchemist. Recently he had bought some special herbs from the boss, saying he would pay them back later. It has been one month, and after repeated requests to pay the money, he has not responded. This is where you come in. You are to bring him here, dead or alive, as well as bring back the potion in which he transformed the herbs into. It will be a small glass vial, with swirling, glowing red liquid inside. He lives in a hut deep in these woods, about a mile north of here."

"Now, if you have any questions?"

*The 'regenerative lizard girl' clenched her fist. Did he really dare describe her as that?!*
`"W-What did you just said you little... Elf! You're as frail as a wood stick! While I, on the contrary, am an example of the evolution! Humanity's ascendance! Of course, incomplete, but still... I'm so much more than just a 'regenerative lizard girl'!"` *She curtly grumbled toward the insolent Horace.*
*But that mood swing was only temporary, as she quickly regained her calm as the thief explained the plan... The plan? But... They still didn't know anything about their mission...*
*The chimera was about to reply and add her two coppers, until everyone was suddenly interupted by an unexpected newcomer. 'A squirrel transformation? Fascinating' she thought. While it had made an interesting subject too, it seemed like that person was their temporary employer, as he detailed the quest.*
*The glittering lady's eyes sparkled during the whole explanation. An alchemist, like she expected. Plus, a red potion? That's all she needed to know to fuel her enthusiasm and her motivation, as she was hopping up and down with impatience.*
`"Oh! Don't worry, don't worry! It doesn't matter if the Boss didn't came in person. I only have one question, though. May I keep a sample of that famous red potion? It is important for my own researches."` *She excitedly asked.*
*Yeah... She would've seemed quite unreliable right now from her partner's perspective, as she acted quite selfish and oblivious about any potential danger.*

*Horace would look over at Mai as she voiced her concerns. She made a valid point, however, the point of his plan was just a basic fighting structure. He would think for a moment, before just simply shrugging it off.*
"You make a good point, but we'll just have to burn that bridge when we come to it. We dont really have enough information as is too, so for now, that'll just be our assumed positions for a fight."

*The elf would turn his attention back to Khimeris, watching as she began her little speech yet again. He'd roll his eyes at her, an annoyed expression coming about him as he crossed his arms.*
"Look, i don't have time for your delusions of grandeur or petty insults. Sure, you might be more than i make you out to be, but your going to need to prove it before i trust you, much more so if you want praise."

*The elf would shake his head slightly as the small squirrel scampered up to the group. Horace wouldn't notice this however, not until the randomly appearing hooded figure was in sight. The elf, seemingly spooked, would jump away from them with his hand on the hilt of his dagger, though he wouldn't draw it. Horace would just stand there for a moment as the man began to speak, and Horace would realize who it was. He'd let out a sigh of relief as he listened to the man speak, lowering his guard.*
"Questions? Uh, any information on body guards or abilities they may have?"

Mai gave a small laugh when he saw Horace and Khimeris arguing for a moment. It was funny to see the two of them arguing over something silly, at least at the sight of Mai. The Chimera really was a little... Annoying. Or maybe *Very* Annoying. But it didn't matter, after all it was just a quest and she would never see her again. Mai started to think about the possibilities of attacks that the group could make together, although she and Horace were assassins and managed to focus on only one target at a time, maybe two depending on the situation. A few moments later, her thoughts would be interrupted when a squirrel appeared in front of them. She would have a little laugh when she saw Horace getting scared when the squirrel transformed into a man.

"Questions... Who are we dealing with? And I also want to know if there are more people."

Mai would continued with her arms crossed, an eyebrow arching as she questioned the man in front of them.

"To answer your questions. There are others, servants of the alchemist. Not too experienced in magic, though most likely physically capable, but that is all I can answer."
