Under Blue Skies
It was another busy morning in Gridania. Merchants began to set up for the day's business, while adventurers and commoners alike wandered the streets in an effort to prepare themselves for the coming day's activities. As always, the guild was full of Adventurers looking to get a head start on leves or to find like-minded individuals to set out in the Twelveswood for a productive day of exploring and treasure hunting. Outside of the crowds surrounding the counters, a few small parties sat around the many tables of the guild, discussing their plans for the day over breakfast. At one such table sat a Hyur, a Lalafell, and a Roegadyn.
Endemerrin stretched his arms about behind his head and let out a roar of a yawn before allowing them to flop back down. His left arm made an uncharacteristically loud bang as it hit the table and sent the dozing Dunesfolk snapping upright from his resting position at the table. A grin spread across Endemerrin's face as he watched the Dunesfolk obviously contemplating setting him ablaze with the small crackling fire that now danced in his hand. The Lalafell's cold gaze soon faded, and he rolled his eyes while extinguishing the flame in a puff of smoke by closing his fist.
After quickly stuffing a roll into his mouth, Endemerrin glanced between his companions before quirking a brow. They also exchanged looks before shrugging in unison. Endemerrin's eyes wandered elsewhere momentarily before fixating on a young Hyur wandering through the guild. He reached out to grip the child by the sleeve, who pulled away briefly in shock before leaning forward to see what the older man wanted. "Hey-!" Endemerrin coughed out as he quickly choked down the rest of his roll. "Come here!" He beckoned a finger forward to the child and leaned over to whisper a few things in his ear as he grew closer. The child's eyes widened and an ecstatic expression glazed over his face. Endemerrin gave the kid a hearty pat on the back and pushed a pouch of gil into his chest before shooing him off.
His companions exchanged confused stares before glancing back to Endemerrin who shot a thumb off to the now happily skipping child who was making his way outside the front of the guild before disappeared into the crowd. Not long after, his voice could be heard calling out over all the laughing and shouting already present within the guild.
"The Blue Skies Adventuring Company is looking for brave adventurers willing to delve into the ruins of the Tam-Tara Deepcroft! Check in with Ser Rosethorne on the main floor near the stairs to the airship dock!"
Endemerrin drummed his hands on the table happily as the child continued to advertise before his voice finally faded into obscurity. "I figure we'll just see how this goes. Depending on what kind of numbers show interest, we can just split off into multiple groups when we enter." His gaze shifted to the Lalafell and Roegadyn. "I figure Xenedra and I can handle any fresh meat that head our way, and you two can go off on your own to map out the rest of the dungeon for our client, yeah?"
The Roegadyn cracked a fist into his open palm and bellowed out a hearty laugh. "Aye, I'll make sure tha' runt doesn' git 'imself lost." Within a blink of an eye, a small flame sparked to life on the Roegadyn's tabard, which he quickly patted out before growling down at the almost emotionless gaze of the Dunesfolk that was now staring up at him. "An' speakin' of tha' lass, where is yer better half? Figured ye' would've shown up 'ere at tha' same time."
Endemerrin shrugged and leaned back in his chair before folding his hands behind his head. "She was going to pick up a few things before meeting us here. Should be here, uh.. ...soon? I think. Hopefully. Yeah." He said with a confident nod before kicking his feet up onto the table.
