*Arlean listened carefully to what she said, and felt a sense of guilt at having overslept, his ears flopping slightly. He stayed silent, too embarassed to reply. He had no idea what she was talking about, but put up some enthusiasm anyway.* 

"Sure! Let's go and look at the city." 

*Arlean turned his eyes toward the windows, examining the pillars - which he did not pay much attention to while starving. The gigantic bridge and pillar looked quite impressive - he has seen nothing like that in Runra, making him wonder how could a country in constant warfare afford this.* 

"That is an impressive bridge." 

*Arlean turned back toward Akasha, confused by her. Then he blinked for a moment, shocked for a moment that his hand was held by Akasha. He seemed to enjoy it though, and relaxed a bit, wishing it would last longer.* 

"I'm committed to this job. I don't want to waste away in this city. Take me to the training grounds."

"Is that so.."

*The priestess gives a half- smile to his response. Her gaze is lowered to the table. After a few moments passed, she released his hand and lifted her eyes again.*

"Well, I suppose you will be needing breakfast first, then."

*Catherine had already cooked the fresh meal for the day. Because she knows Arlean has no money at all in him, she took the initiative to fill the similar plate as yesterday, then brought it to the table. After serving the plate and mugs, she placed her hand on Akasha's shoulder.*

"It's in the house. He has been a real great help yesterday, so it's only right." *She said, winking at Arlean. After that, she returned to her chair.*

*Arlean smiled brightly at the mention of free breakfast - he wanted some cash, quick, and the ability to pay for his meal. But for now, a free breakfast is all he can hope for.* 

*Arlean smiled back at Catherine,*"Thank you. I'll help you out whenever I have time." *He offered - maybe it could be a full time job of some sort. With how many mercenaries are in the city, maybe the tavern would be short-handed and he could get himself a job here...*

*The fox started eating the breakfast quickly, but less voraciously than he was yesterday, maintaining some semblance of grace. He still felt a bit hungry though - having not eaten for two days.*

*As he filled his stomach, Akasha waited patiently while sipping her tea once in every while. She figured that there isn't any need to rush. It isn't noon yet, and they would certainly make it into the training station before afternoon. A comfortable silence wafts along the atmosphere, only occasionally broken by coming and going of the tavern's patrol. They can be counted in number by one hand.*
 
*It looks like this particular place wasn't crowded with more people because of its cumbersome distance from the main district. Nonetheless, Akasha liked it more for the reason of its more serene atmosphere.. And some others. Time passed, and after she noticed that Arlean had cleaned his plate, she spoke.*
 
"Have we filled our belly now?" *A rhetorical question was shot, followed by a mischievous smile directed towards him.*

"Well, I suppose we can depart then. Don't forget to bring anything you might need for the drill as well. It most likely will be a long, and tiring day. Hnnng~ Fuuh.."
 
*The priestess lifted both of her hands overhead, stretching her body after sitting for a while. Enjoying the comfortable sensation on her relaxed back, she inadvertently lets out a content sigh. After that, she stood from the table and paid for the meal with a few coins. Amiably gesturing a farewell wave to Catherine, she walked towards the doorway of the tavern.*
 
"I'll wait for you outside."
