Alice waited for Yu to be ready to leave. She asked if they would take the usual pattern for their actions as they always did. Which is logical if it is a usual pattern. She was surprised when Yu said she would want to turn it around, give Alice the experience she needed. For some reason, she was nervous because of that. As if it was some sort of test. She had felt Yu her power, seen her fight a couple of times, not even full out, it was like trying to get approved. Which was actually totally nonsense because the last time she had done this job, she had managed to do it perfectly well. She just didn't want Yu to think she couldn't do it.
As she was thinking about that Yu spoke again, this time about something entirely else. That there might be more missions and she would send Venom to fetch her, "Oh that's fine. I don't mind, I actually like working together." though she wouldn't mind to avoid Mabuz. It didn't take them long to arrive at the shop that Marino told them about. Yu stayed outside and Alice entered. There wasn't any one at this hour, which was a good thing. No one would enter with Yu in front of the door. She walked to the counter and simply hit it with a flat hand. She didn't need to play tough, but it would probably work better, "You know why I'm here." Last time she had used her spear but she had thought about that before, she would first try to get the keep to pay by using her tongue.
She even gave him the hint it wouldn't need to be paid at this moment, but the man refused to talk to her and even turned his back to her. Alright, she was done. She lifted herself over the counter and pushed the man in his back, letting him hit the wall behind, "As I said, this is not a nice asking and waiting process. You write that letter now or things will get much worse." She had wanted to add that she wasn't alone but she didn't. She let her mana rise, it wasn't as much as Yu but the keep wasn't a mage, so every bit could feel scary. Before she summoned her spear again, he said he would do it and quickly scribbled it down. She turned around on the counter and jumped off on the side of the store and headed outside to show Yu to note and go to Marino.
She would hand him the note and wait to be paid, after which she counted the jewels, "I look forward to our next job." she said to Yu and after that said goodbye to her and Venom. Another job done.
