*The village has been coming along quite nicely. Enough for Kibaru to Embark on a sea voyage every now and again. Where he would resume his business of trading the usual route and new ones alike. But for now he was picking up shipment from Runra. Spices and rice for the most part*

*The Kemonomimi had decided to take a little stroll seeing as everything was in order. He might be able to spot an new resource or even someone of interest. The Kemonomimi felt at home in Runra. His tails swayed slightly. It was hard to tell the exact amount of tails, but it seemed to be around 5. Tails with a bright blue colour matching his wolven ears. His hair was a navy colour.*

*It being starting to be spring, he wore his open blue leather jacket, Revealing his bare and toned body covered in scars. His pair of black pant was just below his knees, seemingly torn, but more out of a fashion choice than wear. His feet were wrapped by white muddied wrappings. On his waist was a Katana, decorated slightly, clearly not a cheap one*

*Among thr actual goods to be purchased at the market there were quite a few mercenaries in town today. Some were in groups, others seemed to be alone.

On one of the street corners adjacent to the marketplace stood a young mercenary who looked quite unlike the others. She wore an interesting suit of armour and a red leotard underneath, a large sword hanging on her back as she leaned against a large pike. Her eyes were surveying the area and she noticed Kiba as he was walking along, though didn't say anything. She looked only about 19, a little young to be a mercenary.*
Lelia
*As Kibaru browsed the wears, he took notice of the girl. He bought some meat skewers before approaching the young woman. His age also seemed to be quite young, but Kemonomimi always seemed younger than they were. And the scars and his way of walking clearly showed his was quite experienced in combat.*

"Why hello there. You a mercenary?" *He asked fluently in the Runran tongue*
Virginia
*She looked to him and gave a nod.* "I am. I'm also looking to get out of here. My rate's lower than anyone else here." *She said as she stood upright and stopped leaning on her pike.* "Hara Amayo, at your service." *She bowed her head politely. Her scar looked old, probably earned that long before maturity.*
Lelia
"Okami. An alias. As every adventurer should have." *Kibaru bowed back to her* "How about a protection job. In turn I'll pay you with a free ride. Meals included" *Kibaru asked tilting his head slightly at her*
Virginia
"Where too? Somewhere far away sounds good to me." *She asked, a little interested. She wasn't the most experianced mercenary and wasn't going to haggle for money.*
Lelia
"Well, we'll be going to Salvainia, Dazabia and towards lake argon where there is a friendly little village under development. That place will need a few merchs. Even if it has some of the strongest I've seen. Maybe you could even get a little training from them"
Virginia
*She knew enough about geography to know that was far away, she gave a nod, stepped forward and offered her hand out for a shake.* "Alright, I'll sign on." *She offered a faint smile.*
Lelia
"Alrighty then. It's a pleasure to have you onboard. Grab your belonging and I'll lead the way to the ship" *Kibaru took her hand a shook it. After he gave her a meat skewer* "Try some. They are really good"
Virginia
*She shook his hand and scooped up her bag from the floor, slinging it over her left shoulder.* "A pleasure." *Her eyes flicked over the meat skewer and took it. She took a bite and judging by her satisfied look she liked it, taking another bite before handing it back.* "Tastes good, I don't think i've had one of these before."
Lelia
"Please, you can have that" *Kibaru said with another in his own hand* "But I'm glad you enjoyed it at least. I might start selling some of these myself"
Virginia
"If you can cook this good you'd get a lot of customers, I think i'll buy these more often." *She offered a slight smirk and continued to eat them as they headed off.*
Lelia
"I do get allot of customers, actually. That's why I'm here" *Kibaru said as he began to walk towards the port* "In order to get spices and ingredients for my eatery in Salvainia. And some Supplies for that village I mentioned. Soon I'll be setting up shop there as well"
Virginia
"Oh, a Chef? I've only been to a fancy place to eat once when I was young." *She idly mentioned as she walked alongside him.* "So how big is this village of yours?"
Lelia
"So far it's 20 houses under construction, though more will soon come. 2 Bath houses, and alchemy shop. Furniture shop, 2 large bath houses. A guild bigger than the village and larger in" *Kibaru said with a smile as he looked back at her*
Virginia
"By the sound of things, you're the one running things?" *She raised her brow, now quite curious.* "I wouldn't imagine someone just chipping in to memorise all that."
Lelia
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Favours come a long way with merchants. And so does profit with a new village. And you too can make some profit." *Finally at the port, Kibaru would gesture towards his ship* "That is my Vessel" *The ship was quite decent and big.* "Aqua Wolf"
Virginia
*Her eyes looked over the ship, she didn't really know what made a ship good enough. It looked big though.* "It's a lovely ship. How long until we leave?" *She said and then finished off her meat skewer, still holding the stick.*
Lelia
"Thank you very much. As for departure. We still have half an hour. But feel free to get on and make yourself comfortable on the ship. If you want. Unless you have other plans"
Virginia
"I'll just wait on the ship. Do I get my own cabin?" *She assumed she wasn't going to get a cabin and asked in a slightly joking manner, but certainly wasn't going to say no to a cabin.*
Lelia
"Mmmm... Yeah. Not very big, but yeah. Crewman typically sleep in their courters and escorts or so sleep in their own room. So You have your own little cabin. Pick which ever one of the 4 you like"
Virginia
*Her eyes lit up a little, relieved as she'll have her own small cabin.* "Oh? Oh! I wasn't expecting to actually get a cabin, Thank you." *She offered a smile.* "I'll claim a cabin and help around with getting the ship ready. I'll see you soon then?"
Lelia
"I mean. It's not like I'm really going to go anywhere. Infact. I could show you around the ship. Dont feel like you need to do any other work than look tough and pretty." *Kibaru smiled at her seeming excited for her own cabin*
Virginia
"Oh please, I don't have to try to do that." *She had a light smirk on her lips.* "I'll happily lend a hand, I don't want to feel like a free-loader. But i'll accept the tour!" *She smiled and went to board the boat.*
Lelia
"Free leader, nah. I hired you for your services. Which I hope you're good at." *Kibaru followed her up with his tails gently swaying behind him*
Virginia
"If you say so~" *She looked back, still lightly smirking. She stepped onboard the boat and looked around.* "Well, after you."
Lelia
"Very well. Follow me" *Kibaru said before leading the way past the men into the ship and down the stairs.* "Just watch your head. And the steps"
Virginia
*She'd follow along, making sure to look around. She headed down the steps with him.*
Lelia
*A while would pass with Kibaru showing Hara the important stuff before they came back up to top.* "Well. We should be departing now" *While he said that the planks were drawn in and anchors raised.* "Hope you've said your goodbyes. You're about to embark onto a new journey"
Virginia
"I'm ready to leave, don't worry. I've been ready for a long time now." *She'd lean against the railing on the side of the ship to watch it cast off.* "You come back here often, don't you?"
Lelia
"Yeah. Every now and again. I do have a trade route and contracts to follow. But it's not always business. I often have fun picking up woman as I go" *He joked as he slowly shook his head side to side*
Virginia
"Oh? Should I expect this village to be filled with ladies you've plucked off the street?" *She jokingly asked, looking towards him while leaning on the railing.*
Lelia
"No. Luckily not... But they can be found somewhere off on their own adventures. Having fun and enjoying life" *Kibaru had a slight smile as he imagined it* "Always glad to help people see the world"
Virginia
*She smirked and shook her head.* "Well, i'm going to relax in my cabin for the time being. I'll come and bother you later mhm?"
Lelia
"Sure. You know where my cabin is if you need me. Much roomier if you want to talk." *Kibaru turned to look at he with a smile* "I'll be done here in a bit"
