((sounds like Naiads have it easier, you can't dry up a river or lake and flush them out. kekeke)<br/><br/>â??Alright then Calâ?¦â? Masako said and nodded, stretching out some to limber up. â??That works fine with me, I couldnâ??t pronounce your whole name even if you paid me to.â? She laughed jovially and studied his pack and equipment for a moment, it seemed to be in good enough condition but not topnotch and that pack seemed heavy enough. Sheâ??d easily be able to keep up, specially if she was used to wearing heavy armor while fighting with her own style.  Yeah the Etanans didnâ??t have much in the way of a good reputation with the rest of the world, just like Vaskans did probably.  â??Then we have an agreement then Cal, youâ??ll get your reward when we get back to Kassan.â? She said and thought about it, she was free and could take off running if she wanted; but that would only speak badly of her.<br/><br/>â??The knife here? It should be enough to deal with brigands and bandits but wontâ?? do much good against heavily armored enemies.â? She said. â??I know, Iâ??ve tried one in the past.â? She said ruefully.  â??I should be able to well enough Iâ??m not as encumbered as you are by that pack.â? Masako said and continued walking, slightly behind him to give the impression of being a servant if anything else. She looked the part as well, and the collar looked like it was just a decorative accouterment. â??But how do you propose to get through the checkpoint in Volarra?
