The sound of rain drummed low on the window of the room Ianthe stayed in. It was a relaxing sound and didn't help her to get out of bed at all. The warmth of her blankets kept her too cozy and immobilized to start the day. Thick clouds covered the sky blocking the usual shining beams of the sun, causing the room to stay dark. The only thing that reminded the brown haired beauty that it was indeed morning was the thick smell of bacon and eggs in the air, signifying that is was time for breakfast. For Ianthe that was all she needed to get out of bed. Crawling from the mountain of blankets and out of her bed, Ianthe made her way to the bathroom to freshen up. Taking a quick shower and placing her hair in a neat ponytail, the young woman threw on a pair of blue pants, a white t-shirt, and some black sneakers. She was a simple in her approach to clothing, since a lot of them didn't fit her curves properly which forced her to get them handmade, something that was quite pricey. Once she was set for the day Ianthe ran down to the dining area where she was greeted by the waitress.

" Good morning. What can I get for you today? " The waitress was short and stocky with blond hair styled in a bun and rich brown eyes. Ianthe smiled and paused for a moment. She already knew what she wanted to eat but she didn't want to seem as if she was starving or something. " I'll have some pancakes, bacon, sausages, grits, a bowl of strawberries, a glass of milk and a glass of water.. Please and thank you. " The waitress nodded as she jotted it all down quickly. "Oh! A big apetite huh. Well I'll be back in a few hun, I'll bring out some water first, is that alright with you? " Ianthe nodded her head yes, she was feeling kinda thirsty anyway but she would drink slow as to not fill up. Outside was still rainy and that didn't bother Ianthe, she would have to go and get her poncho before leaving out but that was nothing. She hoped there was a few more quests she could take today because she would have to depart in a few days. The lack of legit work here was almost depressing but she could understand it.

She didn't know it before coming here but there were illegal guilds and one of them resided right here in Oak. It made a lot more sense why people stayed in during the night and why so many shady request littered the request board. Ianthe would have thought the Rune Knights would patrol this area heavily but they did not, which allowed these thugs to roam free and do as they pleased. The thought of it upset her, but she couldn't do anything about it in her current state and so didn't dwell on the topic. In what seemed like half an hour her food arrived and she devoured it like some hungry beast. Leaving nothing left over she polished her plate and bowl of fruit, downing the milk and having two more glasses of water before paying for her meal and rushing back upstairs to grab her poncho. On her way back out she thanked the waitress once more and headed out towards the Request board, quickly finding one from Lord Servas Phantasm. She would take this request since his last one was fairly easy and overall not to bad.

She enjoyed the sounds of the rain hitting her clear plastic poncho. It was relaxing to her as she walked through the quiet streets of Oak, while making her way to Lord Servas Phantasm castle in order to start her first request for the day. Her walk to the castle was quiet with few people on the streets, all those people looked shady beyond reason. The walk didn't take long and Ianthe found herself at the gates in mere minutes. Reaching the gate Ianthe found that Lord Servas Phantasm himself was already there, holding a large black umbrella. " I'm glad you can make it, I can only assume you are here for the request I posted. Please follow me " His voice was deep but calm and the gates opened, allowing Ianthe to enter and follow Lord Sevas Phantasm. " Today is the day my beautiful wife died. She was a bright and cheerful woman, a light in this otherwise bleak world. I want to celebrate the life she lived rather than mourn the fact that she is gone....That is what she would have wanted of course. For me to be happy and to live my life even if she were gone. With that being said today is a very busy day for me and much of my staff but there is still a very important job to be done. It's simple enough though a little difficult. "

Before she knew it the two had arrived to what looked to be a cave of sorts with a gate as a door for it's entrance. " I need you to go inside of this dungeon and retrieve a certain flower for me. The flower is yellow with a bluish pattern on the petals...It smells sort of like cotton candy. " Ianthe could see the happiness in his eyes as he explained the flower and once he was done she went right inside of the dungeon like cave. As she walked the light behind her faded and the darkness ahead grew. She couldn't see much anymore and so relied on her hands to help her through it all. Getting down on all fours Ianthe felt around until felt a stem of a flower, she continued to feel around until she found a few more before making her way out of the dungeon. As she got closer to the light of the entrance she realized that these flowers were red with white spots and so they were not the flower. The job had her go back three more times each time coming up with a different flower. One flower was white and pink, another was orange and purple, and another was black and yellow. Ianthe was exhausted looking for this flower and her eyes were strained. She spent the better part of an hour just looking until she found it, a yellow flower with a bluish patter. Making sure to collect a lot so she wouldn't have to go back Ianthe was tired when all was said and done. Leaving the dark dungeon she returned to lord servas and handed him his flowers. Lord Servas began to cry, thanking Ianthe and handing her reward. Once she was paid she quickly took her leave.
