Despite the suppressed attitude of the rest of the city, Konoka was actually in rather high spirits as she wandered through the streets.  Despite her parents being adventurers, she had lived a mostly boring life at home - sure, she was allowed to train a bit in using magic, and in the ways of fighting and wrestling in one of the temples, but living in a small village was nothing compared to seeing a large city up close.<br/><br/>She had heard a few warnings from her parents as she was leaving, and they told her a few good places to stay and look for work, but it seemed right now every place she tried to go to was full.  Eventually, she managed to find this place, an unmarked building that someone told her would probably still have room for one more person - "one more body", he had said, with a smile hinting at some unknown joke.<br/><br/>To many accustomed to living in the cities, this would be a place to avoid at all costs.  To Konoka, who had never seen an inn aside from the small tavern with a rarely-used upstairs bedroom, it didn't seem so bad.  Sure, the smell was... odd, and she wasn't sure how well she could trust half the people in the room, but if they had a bed, it would be better than the cold ground she had slept on the last few days on her trip here.<br/><br/>After taking a moment to look around, she nodded to herself, as if to say<em>This is it, this is where I really start my adventuring life.</em>She walked up to the man behind the counter, nodding slightly as she set a few coins on the counter.  "I'm told you might have a bed available for the night... and that you might know of a job or two that need doing."
