"Sounds great! How about we go and take a look at the mission board together? I'm sick and tired of going out on jobs all by myself. I mean yeah, sure the peace and quiet can be nice from time to time, but it's so DULL when you're alone all the time." Of course, before she even gave Luca time to think about the fact that she was now insisting that they go on a job together, she was already grabbing him by the wrist with that eager, energetic look in her eye, and tugging him away from the table and towards the request board. "C'mon! The more the merrier, right? Here, I'll even let you be the one to pick out what job we go on!"<br/><br/>Of course, this meant that Ralena was putting zero thought into the fact that maybe Luca<em>actually liked</em>doing jobs on his own. As far as she was concerned, nothing was more dreadful. Whenever she was out on her own, Ralena couldn't help but feel so much smaller and weaker, as though there was something terrible looming around the corner waiting for her to lower her guard. It was a hard sensation to shake, and she was sure that it had something to do with her lost childhood memories, but the fact remained that Ralena disliked going out on solo missions because of it, and she wanted those days to be as few and far between as possible. Her fear and insecurity were things that she bit down and suppressed as much as possible, hiding them behind a facade of false bravado and optimism. Perhaps that was why, when she was with her friends, she was as bright and cheery as she always seemed to be whenever she was in the guild hall.<br/><br/>Mental reflections aside, Ralena was still dragging Luca away from the table and towards the request board, most likely against his will. Unless he decided to use his outside voice when vocalizing any complaints he could have, she likely wouldn't hear them either. Not to say that he was powerless on the matter, obviously.
