"I know why you're here... and I accept your proposal."

Debonair's furrowed brow wrinkled with both intrigue and intensity.

"How does he know-" His thought was interrupted by a sudden bang and a gust of wind sending his flowing hair over his eyes.

The swordsman peered into the door that blasted open, his hands again, alert and tingling. The sunlight from within the room illuminated the guild hall. Debonair looked on with obstructed vision and could make out a slender figure gracefully marching towards them. The figure stopped in front of the magnificent knight. Another followed closely, bouncing enthusiastically behind.

The ronin raised his hand to shield his eyes from the beam of light, and looked between two of his fingers. He identified two huntresses, both clad in leather with exotic animal fur wrapped around their necks. The lead had splendid golden hair; sparkling.

"Kain" she greeted the armored knight, who nodded in response. "How goes the search?" The huntress continued, impatiently tapping her long dark boots on the wooden floor.

The landsknecht tilted his head, motioning towards Debonair and Rainus. She inspected the duo, with her eyes almost a sliver.

"You sure Kain?" she questioned, recipient only to a solemn nod. "Okay then. I'll pack my bags." The huntress turned promptly and trotted back to her room. Her friend stood, wide eyed.

"H-hey. What's the big rush?" The second huntress chided, before breaking out into a delightful grin. Her carnation hair radiated to the pulsing beats of Rainus' heart. She leaned forward to the young boy, who seemed to hide behind the foreigner.

"Milady. P-p-please. That is far too close." The boy reproved with a blush on his face.

"My name is Alarcia." The huntress leaned even closer with a devilish twinkle in her eyes. The boy backtracked a couple steps and stumbled onto the ground. His hands braced his fall, but his book slided out of his hands and under the dusty table.

Alarcia laughed heartily. Her rich laughter resonating on the wooden platform.

"I can see this is going to be a fun expedition!" She said gleefully while Rainus still sat on the floor, blinking. "You there, what are you and your pal's name?" She pointed directly at the foreign swordsman, her joy still overflowing.

"My friend is Rainus, and friends call me Debonair."

"Nice meeting you Debbie, and..." She paused slightly. "Nice skirt." Alarcia had one hand pointing at Debonair's long flowing pants, while her other hand was covering her mouth. She turned and disappeared into the room; the sound of her laughter still echoing behind closed doors.

With one raised eyebrow, Debonair looked inquisitively at the burly knight.

Kain had already started relaxing, easing back in his wooden chair. His legs were resting comfortably on the tabletop. He crossed his arms and had a grin on his face. He shrugged his shoulders casually, the weight of his armor pulling his shoulder back into the recesses of the chair.

"Strange place. Stranger women." Debonair stated as he pulled his friend up.
