Monk? Cook?<br/><br/>Seeing she closed the book with a resounding thump and neatly tucked it into her pack. She reached her hand out. "Hello my name is Claire Dennis. Pleased to make your acquaintance. I do believe we will be in the same group?" She looked at Ghaleon. It did make sense. There were three in Ghaleon's and two in hers. Unless they were to split into 3. He might just make this trip bearable. Now if she could only switch Vero with Lilith or Felly....
