Ryelle smiled a bit at her fellow elf as the druid introduced herself. â€œItâ€™s good to see elves from other places,â€ she said simply as they walked. Despite Tom being the one who had lead them to the tavern, Ryelle was the first to enter it. She walked over to a corner table, hoping for some privacy. â€œYes,â€ she said while looking at Yovela. â€œWeâ€™re looking for a crystal of unknown power that has been misplaced. It used to be in my home kingdom, but somehow it was lost, and only recently has it been missed.â€ She shrugged her shoulders lightly as if to say she had no idea how this could have happened. â€œWeâ€™re not even entirely sure where it is. Hopefully, all this adventuring will be worth it though. Itâ€™ll be very annoying if all it does is make light or heat or something.â€ She sighed softly and glanced around the tavern, looking at all the people. â€œRight. We need more people to join our group. Tom, why donâ€™t you ask that girl over there, straining to hear our words?â€ She laughed lightly and waved at the girl with black hair.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Tom had been scanning the crowd ever since theyâ€™d entered the tavern, keeping a tight grip on his club. He wasnâ€™t really paying attention to what Ryelle said to the elf druid. Heâ€™d already heard of their mission and hadnâ€™t fully understood it the first time. On his first sweep of the room, he didnâ€™t see anything unusual, but then a ray of sunlight bounced off a manâ€™s shoulder. Wait, what? He looked closer at the man for a good few minutes until he realized he wasnâ€™t looking at a man at all. Was it just his imagination or was he looking at a man-shaped pile of crystals? How strange! He felt compelled to go up to the crystal man and give him a good poke just to make sure he wasnâ€™t hallucinating or that the man wasnâ€™t wearing some strange armor. He was distracted by his thoughts by Ryelle saying his name. He nodded his head at the directions he was given and waved a hand at the girl before motioning for her to join them. He then got up from his seat and crossed over to the crystal man. â€œExcuse me,â€ he said roughly to the other person at the crystal manâ€™s table. â€œBut Iâ€™d like to ask him a few questions.â€ He nodded his head at the crystal man, unsure of how to approach the matter.
