Augustus Tavalar was an odd name in Kerii's opinion. She had heard of the first name Augustus before, but not the last name Tavalar. But then again, most people probably haven't heard Kerii's full name before. Her name was Kerii Tauri Virrel. Her parents wanted to give her a more human name so that she would fit in more with the human society she grew up in. However, they also wanted to preserve the elven culture she also grew up around, which is why she was given the middle name Tauri. It was a traditional elven name. Its meaning had to do with something about the trees or the forests. Her surname, Virrel, didn't exactly sound odd. It actually sort of sounded like a surname a human might have. At least her surname wasn't something like Celedilinlhën. Even Kerii who was fluent in the common language of Fiore and both common elven languages would have trouble pronouncing that name, unless of course she grew up with that surname. She was glad she didn't though. When the teacher took roll call, she wouldn't be surprised if he or she just ended up skipping over her last name or simply saying "Kerii C." The teacher may have said "Kerii Celedi-" and that would be it. She wouldn't blame the teacher though, even if the teacher was an elf themselves.
Kerii shook her head once more. She really needed to stop getting side tracked with random thoughts. Kerii took the request off the board and went to find Augustus Tavalar and the caravan she needed to help guard. Apparently, there was a designated caravan parking spot in Era. There was so much Kerii needed to learn about Era. She didn't even know where to look for this "designated caravan parking spot." After asking for directions, someone pointed out where she should go. Kerii thanked the Era native and headed off in the direction she was directed. She met up with Augustus Tavalar who seemed a little older than middle aged, but he also didn't seem to have gray hairs yet. She supposed that he just spent too much time in the sun, which explained his tan skin and early wrinkles. He instructed Kerii what to do and said that if she successfully guarded the caravan, she would be rewarded for her work. She sort of got that from what was said on the request, but it was nice of him to confirm.
It was night, so guarding the caravan was a more than a little sketchy. At one point, she heard some noise coming from a caravan near the one she was guarding, but it turned out to be an innocent couple flirting and giggling. She didn't want to ruin their night so she quickly went back to the caravan she was guarding. Aside from that, the night was relatively uneventful, despite the rumors Augustus Tavalar told her about. Once morning came, Kerii was rewarded since the caravan was successfully guarded and she returned to her room at the inn.
