[sylphid]

It doesn't have to.

[Her voice has lost its previous edge.]

But maybe I'm in no position to say that.

[evervigilante]

You've got a position. But both are valid.

[ Yuri can easily see it both ways. He's lived on the edge of a sword and he's lived easy. Those positions give him clarity. ]

[sylphid]

Hm, maybe.

[It's still not something she's going to spend too much time dwelling on.]

Anyway, if you end up need a grenade, I have a couple, so just let me know.

[... she likes to stock up.]

[evervigilante]

I'm afraid to ask how much you're collecting.

[ He runs a hand through his hair, his gaze flitting back and forth. He's not paranoid, but he's always been good at assessing his surroundings. ]

[sylphid]

A girl can't give up all her secrets on the first meeting.

[There may or may not be a little smirk present with that statement.]

[evervigilante]

[ Oh. He grins. ]

Then I'll have to work on the second.

[sylphid]

I hope you'll make it worth my time.

[Yep. There's definitely a smirk.]

[evervigilante]

No one's ever complained before.

[sylphid]

There's a first time for everything.

[Someone stop them.]</small.

[evervigilante]

But that's what next times are for.

[ Can't stop won't stop. ]

[sylphid]

Complaining? That would still be a first time.

[evervigilante]

No. For getting it right.

[sylphid]

Hm, fair.

[Fie looks around then moves to sit on a nearby rock while the preparations are worked through.]

Do you know how to drive?

[evervigilante]

Me? No. My technical know-ho is abysmal.

[ Not that he minds. ]

[sylphid]

All right. [She gives no further elaboration regarding her question, instead kicking some dirt with the toe of her boot.]

So what did you do back home?

[evervigilante]

Nothing special. I work for a guild called Brave Vesperia. Our boss has us doing jobs all over the world.

[sylphid]

[Well the idea sounds familiar.]

What sort of jobs?

[evervigilante]

We've done a little of everything. Delivery, monster hunting, cleaning . . . The boss asks, we deliver.

[ Their boss is twelve. ]

[sylphid]

Sounds similar to what the bracers do in my world.

[Fie would probably like said boss.]

[evervigilante]

Bracers?

[sylphid]

Yep. They take on jobs for ordinary citizens-- monster extermination, item gathering, terrain mapping. Different things like that.

[evervigilante]

Close enough. The difference is that guilds have their own autonomy. They're not contractually bound by any organisation or government.

[ Though they might answer to the Union. Might. Yuri is pretty fond of his anarchist ways. ]

[sylphid]

It's not too different sounding. The Bracer Guild has different branches in different cities and countries, but they don't answer to the government or any nobility even though they can accept requests from them.

[She shrugs. Fie knows enough from her travels and talks with her former instructor.]

[evervigilante]

Close enough. The Guild and the Empire are at odds most of the time, but the citizens can ask for our help.

[ He's certainly helped out plenty within the Empire. When he felt like it. ]

[sylphid]

The Bracer guilds in Erebonia were all but driven out of the country. Politics at its finest.

[She really has no huge opinion on the matter.]
