*Sirdan followed right behind her. Looking at the bunny thief up and down.* 

"You look familiar - Didn't I see you the first time I was here?"
Cathy
*Well, to say the least, she was fucked.*

*She had been able to escape the Blooming Lotus several times before. Each time, that silver haired okamimi foolishly tried to chase her. As if she ever could catch up. However, it seems that today was a unlucky one. Three adventurers, one of which she recognized, and one other she's sworn she's seen before. There was no escaping now; the woman grabbing her was far too strong for her to escape, and her center of gravity was being held as well.*

*What scared her most though, was the absolutely furious Tian Hua. Her gold and azure eyes, normally which shined like gemstones, now blazed in bright fire. Auburn's voice is squeaky and timid, her eyes wide in fear.*

"Hi Almann..."
Robert
"There you are you little bitch. Not so smug now huh?"

*Hu Lang lets the metal structure of the staff fall into her palm again and again. It's obvious that the restaurant owner was planning something that was not so nice.*

"Hana! Get me some rope."

*One of the servants tosses her some silk rope.*

"You and I are going to have a little talk."

*The oriate soon turns to the three, the fire in her eyes dying down. It's soon replaced by a gleeful smile, and a bow.*

"Thank you so much Sirdan-san, Katherine-san, Almann-san! Today is free for this thanks."
Ernest
"Huh? Almann, you know this thief?"

*Katherine's just holding up the rabbit, named Auburn, in the air. For some reason she wasn't struggling. Good. She sets her down, letting Hu Lang tie her hands behind her back.*

"Good shot on that Force Blast, Sirdan!"
Leopoldo
"Ah. No problem. I was really worried. If I missed I would've caused a few hundred silver of property damage..." 

*He turned toward Tian Hua.* 

"Just how much has this bunny stolen from you?"

*He grinned back at Katherine,*"We should get back to our food and chat after this, should we?"

_Almann laughed._

"Yeah, she tried to steal from my store once, booked it down the street and ended up tripping and almost breaking her neck. No doubt she's been doing this ever since. Last time I made a deal with the guards and she only did some charity work for the day. That was back in Siui, I don't have those types of connections here."

_Salvania was a much bigger animal than Siui. The politics are bigger, the officials more clever, and many of the guards more honour-bound than back at home. There was so many people to meet and sway and so little time to do it all. Hopefully this wont be as difficult now that Almann had an officer position in New Sunlight._

"I pity her, really. Hu Lang, though very hospitable, seems to be the more merciless type when it comes to thieves. Not that that's a particularly bad thing. Her speed would be much better suited to New Sunlight than petty thievery, hopefully she can be talked into a better occupation."

_Almann then began to think about his own future._

_The next rank he'd apply for is 3rd Grade Officer, he had a particular interest in becoming a purser of the guild. Of course, Almann would have to continue his work as a non-logistics officer first. Finding allies was important as well. He was acquainted with a few of the better known members of the guild already, but wanted to focus on two leaders in particular:_

_Algar Dy'uum and Marco Redfoot. Algar would help him improve his craft to new heights, give him connections to other craftsmen, and allow people dependent on his skills as a blacksmith here in Salvainia. Marco was perhaps even more important, and much like Almann himself he was very shrewd with how he conducted business. The intelligence officer was extremely important for all things quest related, and no doubt Marco would know every single one of the goings on of the guild and surrounded city, or so the rumours would lead Almann to believe._
