:"I do question why you put the healer through that or why I did better that most of the melee members."
She rolls her arm
:"Anyway it best not to keep our employer waiting."

[freeformschooler]

"If it hurts, it means it's working. Now, Lady Prixima wants to see your group today. I believe she will decide today if you're up for the job she promised to your late leader Sarius."

: "Well, if she decides we aren't, I am leaving. That was exhausting, and I think a few of my tendons rearranged themselves during that obstacle course."

[Haspen]

"And where will you go if she doesn't agree, Charlotte? You will be back to the life of vagabond and trespasser? Sterling, please gather your group, I will wait outside." Like he said, that he did - he left the bedroom and closed the door.

[Darvi]

"I don't think we're gonna disappoint. Not after all that work we went through. Grab your stuff, we're going there and show her what we're made of!"

[Haspen]

Aaron silently took the mercenary group upstairs, through the same amount of staircases and corridors as at the first time, a week ago.

Gregor was standing right near the door leading to Prixima's study.

"Please wait a moment." Captain Aaron said, knocked on the door and then slipped in. Less than a minute later, they could hear elevated voices, and few words that Gregor could catch in his ears, were 'certain death' 'incompetent kids' 'one more chance' and such. Suddenly, there was shouting, abruptly replaced by silence, and amidst that silence, Aaron came out, letting out a sigh.

"She will only see Sterling, no one else."

[Darvi]

"Me? B-but... why me in particular?"

[Haspen]

"Well, I believe you're the new leader of the group, are you not?" Aaron moved himself away from the door, showing that Sterling is free to enter the study.

[Darvi]

"I... see. I better don't let her wait, I guess."

[Taricus]

: "So, Aaron, how much are we being paid for this job, and how difficult is it

And we haven't exactly decided on a leader either as well."

[Haspen]

"That's why Sterling is going inside. Well, that and few other things that Lady Prixima wants to talk about with him." Aaron explained, and closed door after Sterling when he went inside.

Lady Prixima was waiting for the young lad, sitting behind her desk. She looked over Sterling, and then licked her finger, turning a page of a book, but it was clear she didn't paid attention to the words - it was all about making the moment a little more dramatic.

"Well, isn't it... Sterling, yes? First of all, tell me; do you take responsibilities of the leader of this mercenary group?"

[Darvi]

Gulp.
"Yes, Melady. Somebody has to do it, and it might as well be me."

[Haspen]

Prixima clasped her hands and grinned widely, showing her way of satisfaction. She could easily pose as a demon too.

"Wonderful. Per contract with the Mercian Mercenary Guild, the mission that I've assigned with Sarius was for five thousand golden coins of reward. That sum would be yours if you could perform duties that I wanted to entrust to Sarius, but he is dead, and now that you've taken the responsibility, you have to see the contract fulfilled. I hope you understand so far?"

[Darvi]

"Yes, Melady. What is our mission?"

[Haspen]

Prixima laughed and leaned against her chair, then she looked at Sterling with a grin.

"Oh, the actual mission is still beyond your reach, as I believe you're still neither competent nor experienced enough to even try to accomplish the mission. I've seen your training, I've got reports from Aaron and the other two, I heard some things about you... You of course understand, that this means I want to void the contract. Unfortunately, it would leave a stain on the honour of Kesselring family, which was dealing with mercenaries for almost a century Still with me, kid? Fortunately, in my ingenuity, I thought a plan that could easily let me kill two birds with one stone. And it involves your group. Do you agree to follow it?"

[Darvi]

"Yes, Melady. What would you have us do, then?"
