Kerii couldn't believe she let herself be distracted so easily by Bart's story. She was raised by two elves who were both raised by and taught by prodigious scholars. Kerii was highly intelligent, and yet she was defeated in chess by a young boy who distracted her with some story. He may have been good at chess, but she still had a lot more amount of knowledge than him. But why should she let one chess game get to her? She was Kerii Tauri Virrel. She was a strong and intelligent mage who would become the best healer in Fiore. If not, one of the best. Kerii believed that as long as her primary focus was on that goal, she could accomplish it within... well, she didn't really know how long it would take her to do that. She needed to have experience in a hospital. She needed to have experience in trauma. She needed to learn how to set bones, relocate dislocations, and more. She especially needed to know how to do that if she ever got hurt since she couldn't heal herself with magic. Kerii still didn't understand why she couldn't heal nor apply buffs to herself, but she supposed that was just how supportive magic worked. If it was made to support others, then it was made to support others. However, in order to support people, Kerii would have to be able to support them. If she ended up getting badly hurt or defeated, it was game over. But that didn't just apply to being on the battlefield. If Kerii was alone taking a job and, for instance, went into the woods to fight a Vulcan but got hurt, she would also need to learn to be resourceful and take care of herself with whatever was available.
But anyway, Kerii needed to get her mind off of healing for the moment and needed to focus her attention on completing more quests. There was still some more time left in the day, probably enough to do two or three more quests depending on how long each one took. For the sake of time, Kerii decided that for the sake of time, she would take on a quest that wouldn't take her lots of time to complete. She was sure that there were plenty of jobs up on the board that would fit her time constraints. She just needed to find them.
Kerii headed back towards the request board. She she walked, she took in some more of Hargeon's sights. Even after being around it already, the old, vintage beauty of the town never failed to impress Kerii. This would be a nice town to live in. Why couldn't Lamia Scale be in Hargeon? Albeit it wouldn't have fit Lamia Scale's stereotype, that didn't mean it wouldn't be a nice place to be situated in.
Kerii came across the request board. She began to look at all the quests she could take. A certain one put out by Raina Burke caught her eye.
