“An escort quest…..” Maxon thought to himself. ''“They always sound so simple, but they never are. At least they usually pay well.” ''He concluded, taking the quest from the board.

He then went to find Caelia, though he didn’t have to look far; as he found her wandering around the center of town with a look of confusion and frustration on her face.

“Caelia?” He said, walking up to her. “What are you doing here? I thought you would be at the in.”

“Ummm, soooo, please don’t get too mad, but…..it doesn’t look like this town has an inn.” She said regretfully.

“What?”

“I looked all over town, and I even asked a few locals. And they all said that this town never got around to building one.”

“So that means…..Ohhhh, you’ve GOT to be kidding me!” He said rather loudly as he face-palmed, creating a loud, metallic *THUNK* when his gauntlet met his helm.

 “I know. I’m really sorry.” She said, her tail drooping as she dipped her head in shame.

“For what?” Maxon asked.

“I know how much you were looking forward to a proper bed. But even when I was right, I still messed up it seems….My big idea coming here….” She sounded broken up.

“Caelia, stop.” Maxon said, putting an armored hand on her shoulder. “It’s not your fault. You can never know what a new place will be like. You and I both know that.”

“You mean you’re not mad?” She said, looking up at him.

“Well, yeah! Just not at you.” He then leaned in close''. “Seriously, what kind of town doesn’t have an inn, or even a basic lodge?”''  He whispered, not wanting to offend any locals.

''“Hehe, yeah. It is pretty stupid when you put it like that.”'' She whispered back.

“But where are we going to sleep? That clearing where we landed seemed okay, the grass was nice and soft.” She spoke back up.

“Maybe, but before we worry about that, I did manage to find us a job.” He said, holding up the quest paper. “Apparently some guy wants protection on his way home. He must be afraid of local bandits or monsters, maybe even bandit monsters. Anyway, it’s a simple job and it pays well, so I suggest we do it.”

“An escort quest? Those are neeeever simple, never.” She reminded him.

“I know! I know!” He shot back. “But it’s the best we have at the moment. So I say that we read what this says and then go meet this guy; the job is due tonight.”

“Alright then, if you insist.” She agreed with a sigh, before walking to his side; where they then read the quest paper for details regarding the job.
